This addition to the fantasy canon comes from a fresh new writer with a vivid imagination and a penchant for blending and twisting genres. Magic in Gladstone's world defines the structure of the legal system, while religion informs science and technology. Our protagonist is learning the ropes of the legal profession, and finds herself deeply involved in a complex web of intrigue. Wonderfully inventive scenarios, startling imagery, and plot-driven writing make this a fun read.
