Sure Death of a Mouse

I found myself re-reading this book a few days ago, with nearly the same enjoyment I had the first time. "Complex" barely begins to describe the plotting to overthrow the child king, and the split perspective between Polijn and Nimmestel would normally just add confusion. This book reads smoothly, in a "can't put it down" fashion. The characters are made to seem quite real, and even secondary characters evoke interest. It stands well alone; I haven't read the first or third books and found that to be no handicap. Delightful, and highly recommended!
