another good one from Mr Modesitt The beginning quarter was rather slow, with the usual Day 1 he did this, ate that, went to see this person Day 2 it was raining, went to see that and then ate this and said that Was a bit of a tedium at first but I braved onward, knowing that there d be a payoff as there usually is in these books And true enough, all the daily grind painted a clear background of
