Strakul reviewed Portrait of a Wide Seas Islander by Victoria Goddard (Lays of the Hearth-Fire, #1.5)
“Someone always leaves.”
That’s what Tovo has been saying to anyone who asks him why …
A short story with Buru Tovo of the Wide Seas
4 stars
This was a fun short story/novella. It follows Buru Tovo as he ponders what to do about Kip and whether he is to be a tana of the Wide Seas. Tovo is a jovial, wise character and we get to see through his eyes the sea train, the Emperor, and of course Kip. It was quite enjoyable and made me want to re-read The Hands of the Emperor!
