Query: a bit disappointing.

This is my least favorite book in the entire series, mostly because I feel like it took away everything that made Gregory so interesting in the previous book. In Quicksilver's Knight, he was an interesting outlier in his family-- the slim, pale scholar who had no interest in warfare (other than strategic/intellectual) and whose magic was powerful enough that he was nevertheless able to protect himself.In this book, he decides that he needs to have muscles if he's ever going to find love, and his mother helps him use magic to make him look exactly like every other male character in the series. Really? Gross.(There's also the whole issue of him falling for the woman who essentially raped his brother, but you can't really think too carefully about sexual ethics if you want to read much Stasheff.)
