Um, working together for too long under adverse conditions?
Price is very very good; and you have just read the caveat about maybe bad fairies. In the beginning he has some typical trouble -- he can create women characters who sound strong, but he doesn't know what to do with them afterwards. He does much better later, but a lot of his male characters are just so sexist. The women's responses to this are palliative, at least for this reader; but a little off sometimes -- or maybe not. The books take place in Britain starting in the seventies and everybody was wrong-footing everybody else then.
