Description

Kesil is stranded very far indeed from his home. Despite a gift from the fair folk that allows him to understand and speak any language, he has very little idea of what’s going on around him (though he likes to pretend he does). But this doesn’t stop him from getting into trouble in the port city of Edazzo, in the ancient empire of Duri, and elsewhere, doing his best to find love, escape snares of ancient magic, and hopefully return home in the end.

    Just started this story and am LOVING it.
    Be forewarned, it's quirky... like you won't always understand what's going on, but that's half the fun it would seem. It's sort of like a fantasy version of William Gaddis' vibe (no hand-holding at all as far as plot and character go, dialogue that feels real and so isn't as explanatory as you might be used to). It's also got a bit of the Terry Pratchett wackiness (like why does Tiffany Aching have the cheese that is alive and following her around? we don't know and it doesn't seem to matter; it's just there).
    The voice is literary and witty. I can't wait to see where this goes.
