Why this must be read:
One of the many pleasures of reading the Swordspoint series are Ellen Kushner’s polished and distinct minor characters. Their voices, and the episodic nature of Kushner’s canon, are captured to perfection in Angharad’s lovely series of vignettes, encompassing humility, fortitude, charity, chastity, temperance, zeal and generosity. Not virtues which immediately spring to mind when considering the inhabitants of Kushner’s baroque creation.
‘“Of the Crescent I beg relief and pardon for my crimes. As all know, it was through a matter of honour that I met my downfall.” He did not risk a glance upwards; he knew that Basil Halliday’s face would be as impassive as ever. “As my honour has now been satisfied and the penalty for my handling of the matter having been long since paid, I humbly request permission to return from my exile.”’
