This is a very impressive piece of work, both in style and scope. I wouldn't generally expect a tale about a king sifting through old scrolls and maintaining the daily trappings of command to be so riveting, but every moment is saturated with the discovery of an inner world sensitively and conscientiously examined. Very nicely done!

I know I already reviewed this elsewhere, but Jael: this is a fantastic story. There is so much in this that even now I don't know where to begin. The intimacy, the short insight in family relations, the decision making of a ruler, the tragedy... very compact, grandly written!
