i read this trilogy approximately 7.5 million times when i was younger. so good. and it taught me all i know about opium use. no kidding.
Really fun adventure from a time when the sun never set on the British Empire, when sailors' lives disappeared in a puff of opium smoke and rajahs' jewels haunted the dreams of soldiers. Sally's a fun, not overly-implausible strong heroine who grows more sure of herself during the course of this and other books in the series. Not great literature, perhaps, but rollicking good fun.
