The conclusion of the Mavin Many-shaped trilogy, and much better if you've read the first trilogy of books starring her son Peter, starting with King's Blood Four. Although this is a prequel to that series it will flow better to read them in the order they were written. Strong fantasy world, lots of issues left open so it's obvious she intended to write the next set. I do think that Peter's conception is something of a cheat. Why couldn't Himaggery be a normal guy who actually does want a relationship with an independent woman, and why couldn't Mavin love him for what he is and still have an independent life? But that's not how Tepper writes, and it would be a different book if she did.
