Dancer of the Sixth
A military intelligence agent discovers someone has stolen her former identity and must go undercover as herself to investigate. A terrific premise buried beneath bloated prose, tedious exposition, and a mystery that loses its tension almost immediately.

I expected adventures worthy of my dog Niko. Instead, I found purple prose, endless flashbacks, uncomfortable philosophical arguments, and a Thieves’ World collection written for fans who already know the characters.
