Felt a bit short. While I enjoyed Ned and Crispin, I didn't feel like I had the same chance to fall in love with them like I did with Crane, Stephen, Jonah, or Ben. Having graphomancy fleshed out a bit more was interesting, especially from Crispin's odd (due to his inadvertent warlock training) perspective.

Edit: Changed from a 4.5 to a 4.75 as the related short story, A Queer Trade, scratched all these itches for me!
