![]() First, it manages a remarkable tone shift to an almost dream-like state, which I found impressive by itself. ![]() I have some reservations about the plot of this book, but they are overshadowed by the wonderfully strange and difficult turn it takes in the last quarter or so. In the town of Alemeth, she finds three things: a Steerswomen’s archive in shambles a community attacked by acid-spraying demons on an increasing frequency and Janos, a former Steersman who resigned suddenly and is now under ban for refusing to explain why. Rowan is looking for clues to the location of the mysterious wizard Slado. Mileage may vary, of course, especially for those who waited more than a decade for this book and didn’t have the fourth sitting on their shelf waiting for them. It’s true that it doesn’t much advance the plot set up to date, but I enjoyed what it does do so much that I don’t actually care. ![]() The third book in Rosemary Kirstein’s Steerswoman series, The Lost Steersman, is as excellently absorbing as the prior books. ![]()
