Dave Duncan: Emperor and Clown (Paperback, 2004, ereads.com) 5 stars

A princess and a stableboy? It sounds like the worst sort of hackneyed formula romance. …

Review of 'Emperor and Clown' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

A true fairy tale ending and an absolutely perfect way to go about it, I must say I didn't quite see how it was going to go. Though in typical Duncan style it made perfect sense and everything's come full circle once again.

This is one of the only times I've felt that an ending of Duncan's is 100% spot on, I think. the Seventh Sword was very neatly done, though perhaps a little too obvious, and the Great game ending felt a bit rushed. This was sheer perfection, and very happily so.
