Yeah, the strappy outfit is very artistic, but not that practical, I think. It gets chilly in England. Hope she has good shoes and a nice warm cloak, at least.
I definitely need to re-read Sutcliffe. I read Mark of the Horselord, if I'm remembering it rightly (it's the one with Phaedrus the gladiator, right?), but I never got to read Swords at Sunset, thanks to some light-fingered library patron. I've always been fond of Dragon Slayer, because, hey, Beowulf. Quickest way to get my interest is with Beowulf. It's a shame that ninety percent of her work is out of print, though. Fingers crossed that it gets reprinted soon.
