A good solid fantasy novel. The only thing I didn't like about it was the synopsis on the cover flap, which must have been describing some other book: it got details wrong, didn't mention one of the three major characters, and sets the reader up for a romance plot that isn't actually in the book. However, everything that McKillip herself wrote was really good. I'm always intrigued by how McKillip weaves the importance of words into her stories.
