Great review of The Choir Boats

Reader's Refuge got their hands on Daniel A. Rabuzzi's The Choir Boats, and loved it: "This is exactly the sort of story I love. The world Rabuzzi creates in The Choir Boats is fascinating. I love Yount, its customs, and its history. My only complaint is that I didn't see enough of this new world."
