Description

Saved from death at the hands of the Emperor Ddwng, would-be lovers Colene and Darius and their companions - Provos, a woman who remembers only the future, and Sequiro, a telepathic horse - stumble into yet another dangerous reality where despots rule with a cruel and heavy hand. Held captive, the friends must combine their unusual talents in a daring escape that leads them on adventure after adventure with the most intriguing characters - some threatening, some friendly - ever to grace the page. Among them, Angus, the adorable flying giant; Nona, the lovely and magical "ninth of the ninth;" Slick, the gangster with a death sentence; and the megaplayers, mysterious musicians of old whose giant instruments still dot the landscape.

Great book for escaping real life. I do wonder how it was for Provos, aging in one order and remembering in the other. I'm thinking they'd have to go to school to learn geography and such when they were very old, which would make nursing homes interesting.

The sequel did not follow as well as the original - the plot was fine, but the pacing felt off.
