The writing is just wonderful, the narrative flows smoothly and once you start the novel, it is very hard to stop reading it.

...shows how one can write a book that is exotic and familiar at the same time and that uses the innate "interestingness" of speculative fiction at its best, while staying within the bounds of historical possibility.

...shows how to expand a straight-up military fantasy novel beyond the constraints of the subgenre and make it richer and more complex

The House on Durrow Street is a novel of manners, wit, great characters and immersion in a world that is lovingly described.

You easily see what will happen in the end, but the author has made the journey as pleasant a read as possible and this very quality makes this book one of the excellent UF debuts of 2010.

The world building is exquisite and promises a lot to come. The plot is minimal beyond the coming of age story and there is more talk on occasion than action, but I did not mind that since the rest is so good.
