Nicked
In the Middle Ages, a good story involved a fair amount of fabulism and fantasy.

There’s much to recommend about Nicked, though sometimes its disparate elements can feel a little at odds with one another. Anderson’s world-building is thorough and immersive, though he often seems to linger on small details, showing off what must have been copious research in a way that seems excessively showy.
