Quote: "You want me to find a lost dog?"
This story has a moral: The most fascinating jobs one can fantasize about have their dull moments. Sinta was born with talent, has worked to train that talent, and is now "a powerful sorceress" in the magic, vaguely Europe-like, realm where the story is set. Enchanting the armoring of soldiers into an easy task is the kind of job she does. But some days, all that comes her way are requests to find lost dogs. She does that well, too.
She also defends persecuted peasants, rides into Thieves' Town to recover her stolen purse, and defeats an evil misogynist in a fair magical duel, in this volume. There will be more volumes. If you like fantasy adventures told with tongue firmly in cheek, you'll enjoy all of them.
(Though a character who declares that "Aunts are a scourge and a menace" is allowed to live. Fie!)
