Couldn't make it. I have a feeling that this would have been a charming book had an editor gotten to work on it. I'd say almost every chapter so far has been at least 30% too long. Also, the unending witticism wear on a reader--I stopped after the gay samba dance scene. It's a good example of the need for editors.
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
