Thanks, everyone, for taking the time to comment and for your kind words. To answer a few points arising:
Sparrow - thanks for finding those typos. I proof my texts about a hundred times, but some always seem to get through.
radius and lilac_jive - "puissance" was a term introduced by Bex to impress his followers with the strength of his, and their, magic powers. It's a common enough word in old literature about knights and jousting and whatnot.
DixieGal - I hope you like The Tide Mill.
Barcey - yes, there was even a little in-joke: the voles. When Tagart is waiting for deer, he sees a vole being taken by a pike; but Suter's vole is cannier than that.
Xenophon - too late, the book's already in the wild!
Blackvoid - fair enough. That's the nice thing about "pay-if-you-like-it".
