<I>Very nice review!
A quibble, though; is it really low fantasy? You make good points for why it could be considered such - and make me wonder if it is - but it was almost too swashbucklery to think of it as -low-.
Low I think of as relentlessly dark- maybe that'd have to be dark fantasy.
Just an odd quibble; maybe sway waffling readers </I>

Thanks for the praise, Kiri.

And I could very well be confusing some terminology. For me, it's low fantasy because the books aren't really epic in scope. Also, there's little magic in it, and the little that is available is poorly understood. Then again, 'high' and 'low' fantasy isn't very clearly defined.
