Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The world of magic is one in which the consequences of actions are disproportionate to those actions; in The Riddled Night as in its predecessor The Company of Glass, Valerie Leith has a particular interest in showing us a world in which rationality remains a constant struggle--in which the mad and excessive drown out notions of normality. The young warlord Tash is trying to quieten the clans of Everien by entreaties, threats, occasional acts of kindness and regular atrocities; he is also concerned to use captured psychics to devise weapons with which he can turn on his imperial master Hezene, should the latter try to be rid of him. Mercenary captain Tarquin finds himself carried back by his horse Ice to the distant past, at which point Ice turns into a considerably less useful boy whom he has to look after. Tash's concubine tries to act ethically by all those to whom she has duties; the woman warrior Istar treks one of the mind-controlling Sekk through icy mountains; a young flier struggles to survive in a hostile world. This spreading of our attention makes Leith often a difficult read--her scope and sense of danger make her a fascinating and rewarding one. --Roz Kaveney
