It is a splendid tale! Told with tongue-in-cheek humor and eloquent language!
This is the third book in Lloyd Alexander's Westmark trilogy (Westmark; The Kestrel; The Beggar Queen). Although it is a dark war story, Alexander's writing style is entertaining, and his characters sparkle with personality.
