This book was exactly what I expected from Fellows, which means that it was very entertaining and immersed me in a world I love to see. And, at the same time, it wasn't very complicated or challenging. Class and race are rarely subverted. It's more of an escape that is like candy than a journey that feels like a fulfilling meal.
