Mysterious, lovely, and sometimes eerie. Lud-in-the-Mist at times reads like a comedy-of-manners with a murder mystery. The fantasy elements remain low-key but deeply tied to the setting. Highly symbolic and every reader would have their own interpretation. Beautifully written, and like a fairy story from folklore, almost cautionary. It is really thought-provoking and the ending invites readers to draw their own conclusion. A must-read for fantasy fans.
