A nice quick story, that assures I will next read "City of the Dead" ...what can I say I love me some Rosemary Jones!
Especially liked Ash, who was rather well done considereing how quick the tale was told! Nice touches with the locks as well.

| How unorthodox to read about a hero without a care; a hero without any powers or greedy need for treasure or adventure. A good fight, good tumble or good ale was all Leaplow cared for. I loved his thought process as he tried to determine whether or not to lock his cousin in the tomb and its effect on the rest of the tale. Had he perhaps given in to the lure of the prank, he may have been spared what happened next. However, as he put it towards the end, what a tale to be told to admiring lasses in future tavern crawls. Great little tale, and a great introduction to the Carvers of Dead End House, Rosemary! |

i wasen't sure I was going to like this tale as I wasen't that bothered with Leaplow in City of Dead so it was a nice pleasent surprise for me that I ended up liking him much better then before and Ash was great
Liked the end bit with the city watch wizard trying to unpurify and warning Leaplow hehe
a minor thing did bother me through couldn't the carver women see That Leaplow punishments like cleaning statues wasen't really a punishment for him as he enjoyed working alone?
I really need to buy crypt of the moaning diamond because I loved this tale and city of the dead as it has the right mix of humour and action for me, I think Rosemary has just become one of my current favourite realm author |

The truth is that the Carver women, like everyone else, are rather fond of Leaplow. So they never punish him too harshly.
Glad you enjoyed the tale! |
