I think David Brin pointed me to this book as an illustration of other authors who picked up David's idea of uplift. Uplift is when an advanced species (patron) genetically modifies a pre-sapient species (client) to elevate the new species to full sapience. In this book, the author has an area of our galaxy filled with uplifted earth species. The magic system and themes in the book are a little inconsistent and the physics is terrible. But the story is interesting and the writing is good. 3/5 Stars. I enjoyed it but won't read any others.
