#3 The Privilege of the Sword by Ellen Kushner

I have to admit it has been a long time since I have read any of her books. This is set in a world she has previously written about but I haven't read. It was a bit slow for me to get into but once I got past that I enjoyed the book. I'm not chomping at the bit to read the back story but it might explain the uncle of the heroine a heck of a lot better. For someone who works hard at being a public scamp he does quite a bit of "good" behind the scenes for his city.
