Above average short story that reminded me of the lyric quality of Ken Scholes' writing in the Psalms of Isaak series. This story does stand alone, but draws the reader into a world of kings and wizards and princesses that is unlike other stories that use those words. ( )

Beautiful, sad story. I learned of this (and read it) right at a critical time in reading Canticle, which gave portions of that book more richness. ( )

A far future ruler finds doomed love with a princess on the moon. Nice setting in a fable-like story. ( )
