5.0 out of 5 stars Totally Enthralling
I found this at the library and I loved it. It's fun, exciting, and original. I wish I could be more specific but I haven't read it in a while (the library's copy went missing and it's hard to find out-of-print books). Trust me though, it's worth the search.

"B-", enjoyable but slight. I picked it up because an aquaintance recommended it. Regular fantasy readers are likely to enjoy it more than I did.

Note that the author is Margaret Ball. For a stronger Ball novel, I recommend trying FLAMEWEAVER, an alt-hist with magic in Central Asia & China, atmospheric and quite good.   "A-/B+"

Happy reading--

5.0 out of 5 stars This was a really good fantasy!, January 18, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Lost in Translation (Mass Market Paperback)
I had never read any of Margaret Ball's books when I found this at our local bookstore. I thought the cover looked neat and that the synopsis sounded interesting. I read this book in 2 hours! It was fast-paced and had great charcters!
