LIBRARY JOURNAL (STARRED) -- When a political envoyarrives in Karsgate Keep, Lady Elena, daughter of the Keep's guardian LordCrowe, sees an opportunity for adventure. Before long her actions threaten thepeace between her home nation of Akhara and a race of magical goblins called theMausgol, as well as earning the enmity of both human and mystical adversaries.Rife with magic, ritual, and schemes, this fantasy features a strong femaleprotagonist, a large cast of humans, sorcerers, gods, and ghosts, and a settingthat combines classic courtly genre tropes with a more Middle Eastern flavor.Leong's (Chief Five Heads) illustration is evocative without overwhelming therather cinematic script by Churchland (Beast) and debuter Gibson, which favorsnicely crafted dialog and moody, silent stretches. VERDICT While this firstvolume, collecting Issues 1-6, in the series focuses heavily on establishing atone and multiple mysteries, and is therefore a little slow to get going, theending indicates that future installments should garner rabid fans among thesword-and-sorcery crowd, especially those seeking something slightly differentin this typically male-dominated field, or those preferring loads of backstoryand detail to sift through.
