This is my favorite of all the Blue Adept novels. They are funny, interesting and enjoyable. My only problem is that the main protagonist is in my opinion terribly arrogant. He is taken down a peg or two but still seems to think that everything is coming to him. Reminds me a bit of the author who is undeniably talented but incredibly vain as well. Still has given me many hours of enjoyment.
Book three in the Apprentice Adept series.
read as a child. re-read as an adult.
