There's a nice money quote:
As in his previous books, Knight makes his characters unique and appealing. The reader can't help but admire the feisty Copper as he overcomes each trial. Knight incorporates humor into his story, such as the bats that follow the Copper everywhere, ingratiating themselves to him for a sip or two of drake blood. These bats would tug their forelocks, if they had them. Knight's talent for storytelling serves him well, engaging and engrossing the reader immediately. The Copper's trials seem almost unbearable, but his perseverance is remarkable, and the novel ends on a strong note.
I liked the "tug their forelocks" line. :)
