Spellbinding

"I greatly recomend this book.Kar Kalim was captivating and enchanting. The intertwined story catches the reader"

KAR KALIM

Kar Kalim is a great book. It's full of real emotion as well as adventure. I could see myself in Inya and her conflict between emotion and duty is very believable. I am certainly going to purchase future novels by this author.

Kar Kalim has stuck with me more than Mainline

While Mainline's subject is more unique, Kar Kalim's story and imagery have stuck with me longer and more powerfully. Plus, every time I hear "Wrapped Around Your Finger" by the Police, I think of Murl Amrey. I eagerly await Ms. Christian's next book.

Enjoyable

Ms. Christian has created a vivid and enjoyable story. The plot was predictable, but nontheless made for a good read.

Magical morality tale

Excellent book. Shows what happens in a world where magic is a source of power and power can be used unwisely, even brutally. Complicated by the heroine's ethical quandaries, "sleeping with the enemy" as it were, in order to deal with the monster she has helped create. I found it very thought provoking. One of the blurbs from Library Journal called it a "rousing good morality tale" and I would agree with this. It is a very unusual take on power and its (ab)use in a fantasy world.
