It would be nice to have a brief synopsis of the book's story.
It's probably a great book but, unfortunately, there is no synopsis of the story! I'm seeing this more and more when I try to preview books to try. ... Read more

some other world where magic is used normally
This was one weird story.The names and places and actions are all called something different than anything we are used to.After a bit I begin to wonder at the target audience: was this a teenager's or young adult story?
There are three stories that begin in three chapters and by the sixth or seventh chapter you begin to see that these characters will come together and bring more interest to the story. Amazing!!
It is a fantasy story set in some other world where magic is used normally, but within limits that you begin to see as it develops.It is a harsh world where the weak are tossed aside, fodder for the stronger, you know.I enjoyed the story very much.

OK, but darker than its predecessor
If you're looking for a well-drawn fantasy world and characters, here it is! My only complaint is that it's quite darker than it's predecessor - not Diplomacy of Wolves dark, by any means, but still dark.

Best First Book Ever
Hi - I'm Rhion, and I read this book almost ten years ago. I was a little more than ten at the time - yes I know, its not exactly 'appropriate' for that age group - and it was the first 'grown-up' book I ever read. Sure I'd read tons and tons of other books by that age - Tolkien ect - but this was the first one I'd ever grabbed straight off the Sci-Fi/Fantasy section. And I positively loved it. Read it to pieces. And I really need to get another copy - need to get back to that place where the ppl were being sucked dry by the trees, almost like some of the myths I've read from Welsh/Celtic history.....Anyways this was the Best First Book Ever for me, well that and The Ring Of Allair (which is unfortunately out of print, heck the book is from early 80's late 70's can't remember which), and of course the timeless classic by Gordon Dickson The Dragon Knight. So thats my review and I hope you didn't mind my blabber...

yet another great book by a fantastic author!
I have pretty much all of the books in this particular series and I have to say,it's a well-written book.The characters seem to all steal the book in their own rights.From Faia and Kirtha to Medwind,to the somewhat infamous kiddie tribe bunch,the Tagnu. It also has enough villians(or are they??)to shake a stick at.Lessons and morals are found throughout a well thought out book.Kudos!!

Once again, a triumph!
For those who fell in love with the characters from the first book, enjoy this sequel which follows into a strange and mystical world that's both fun and spooky. Holly Lisle creates these places like they're just over thenext hill... you could get there if you just tried hard enough. Certainlythey're real enough to be on a map!Highly recommended reading. ...
