Writing is fine, characters are vivid but the plot is mediocre at best. The idea of people trying to subdue demons to gain power is hardly worth the Hugo+Nebula combo.

@jonn Thanks again for recommending it, I wouldn't have found it on my own. And no, I couldn't figure our the Mortal Mountain - even after reading your review and knowing the clues are there :)

Thanks @jonn for digging out this little-known treasure.
