In the early books culture, settings, and characters were fresh and compelling, but Shan "despairs" too often here and the saintly lama's "hoarse (sic) laugh" grates. The Tibetan Myth of purity of priestly culture wears. The portrayal of Chinese occupation ignores the education and health care it brings to impoverished Tibetans oppressed by the lama theocracy.
