 Rated 8/10
#1 of the four silverglass series novels featuring the adventures and sometimes smooth, sometimes strained relationship of a talented, if somewhat wilful student of magic escaping the stultifyingly boring future her wealthy family have planned for her, and a mercenary who initially regards her as a spoilt brat and something of a liability.

they're a lot better-written adventures than the laughable impracticality of the swordswoman's attire on the cover might suggest; and whilst the outcomes of the various incidents certainly matter to the characters, neither they nor the books' authors take themselves too seriously - and they're are good fun adventure reading with some thought behind them.


first published in ace paperbacks in the states; the series runs:

#1: "silverglass" (1986); this novel.
#2: "web of wind" (1987), q.v.
#3: "witch of rhostshyl" (1989), q.v.
#4: "mistress of ambiguities" (1991), q.v.

iirc, only the first two or three of the four were published by futura in the uk, in orbit p/b.

"j. f. rivkin" is/was a collaborative pseudonym, though the third was written solo by one, and the fourth by the other. the two live(d?) on opposite sides (?coasts?) of merkia, which cannot have made their collaboration any the easier (though it may've helped reduce serious arguments!).
