Mira's Last Dance

This is a filler between two better stories, in which Penric and his companions continue their travels, their relationship with each other progresses erratically, and he learns some unexpected new skills from his demon.

It's not a bad story really, and it adds variety to the series, but somehow I seem to enjoy it less than the other Penric stories. I reread it mainly for completeness, because it's part of the series.

Its main function is to give Adelis, Nikys, and Penric a new base of operations outside Cedonia, although Penric at least doesn't plan to stay long.
