<div dir="ltr">All done. I <i>really</i> liked this one, and there is so much packed into its shorter length (<i>An Evil Guest</i>, <i>The Sorcerer's House</i>, and <i>Home Fires</i> are all longer) that it has me asking way more questions than I was expecting. It will be a great book to dissect on the list.<br>
