Isn’t it Hisvet and Hisvin? And Reetha (not Elakeria)?

Hisvin is Hisvet’s father, but I may have gotten the name of Mouser's girl mixed up since there were two named slave girls under Glipkerio.

Yes! That’s it. Elakeria is related to Glipkerio, not a slave, and it’s her marmoset that gets got by the rats towards the end. But it’s Reetha and Kreeshkra.

I was thinking about reading this one aloud online but boy is Leiber rough on the readaloud skills. I may still try it.

Ah yeah, that's right. I'll go back and fix that error as soon as I get a moment, thanks for the reminder.

No worries at all! Great review overall and I agree. Would love to have a spoiler full convo about it.
