I also thought there was a lot of technobabble, and I struggled to visualize some of the scenes as a result. I did want to see more of Ian and Rhiaow's relationship as they try to come to terms with Susan's death. I liked the little human guy, too! Needless to say, Duane does teenagers well. I kind of loved the little guy, Arhu he reminds me of my sister's kitten, though he doesn't look like him. There was also a moment of pure heartbreak when we discovered exactly why the two teenage kittens had their backs up about each other. The historical figures were cool-as I said, good research. There was, I think, some fine historical research, and the ending became gripping. Duane is clearly deeply fond of cats and observes them well, and I had no trouble telling who was who in the cast, despite all the aurelian words and strange names. So I was happy to see there were more books about Rhiaow and her crew. I remember liking "The Book of Night with Moon" very much, though I don't remember the story as clearly as some of the "Young Wizards" stories.
