Enjoyable read from one of the founders of the genre
Immediately relateable protagonist and ship setting. Palatable exploration of progressive thinking of the time. Wordy older style of writng. Needs a sequel.

Great kings keep wizards. Morca kept a wizard.

Not my kind of book: I found it uncomfortable reading, and didn’t really understand it.
