Hale (Goose Girl, Enna Burning) revisits the character of Razo. Having been elevated to membership in Bayern's Own guard because of services rendered in the recent war with Tira, Razo is chosen for an important peacekeeping mission. While Hale's sketch of Razo is engaging, even more compelling is the well-played political situation in the meeting of two exotic and different fantasy cultures.
