Are you ESL? I ask because if so, I wouldn't be confident of my advice on Cadwal. I see Vance as an elite English stylist in fiction, almost ridiculously out of place in these genres. I am aware that Vance has a significant fanbase in Europe--I believe the Dutch especially--but I am frankly not sure why that is so when his strength is mostly in his nuanced use of his native tongue whereas his plots are rather commonplace.

No matter; Araminta Station, the first book, is the meat of the series so you'd know right away what you think of it (it's a bildungsroman).
