a novel by Mercedes Lackey.  An “Elemental Masters Novel”.

I enjoyed this a lot…  Dancers, Magicians, and a Magic Cat… what more could one want??

The novels in the Elemental Masters Series are:

1. The Serpent’s Shadow
2. The Gates of Sleep
3. Phoenix and Ashes
4.  The Wizard of London
5. Reserved for the Cat

Apparently these are quasi-historical fantasies all placed around the time before world war one.

And, given how much fun this one was,  I’m going to take a look at them in sequence (the sequence above which is from the front of Reserved for the Cat,  so I hope it’s in order).
