As a storyteller, I fell in love with this book. It's a love letter to oral storytelling, both teller & story, and The Folk. Though it takes place mostly in a cell, Chant gives a grand image of the world by telling and collecting stories from the diverse menagerie of characters. Rowland brings a Pratchett sense of humor along with a story that I haven't seen elsewhere. My hope is that this book will fit you like a good pair of boots as it did for me. If not, that's okay, I'll find another one for you!
