Customer Reviews

Andre Norton and fantasy lovers:

This was the first book I read of Andre Norton a few years ago. Since then I have been an great fan of Andre Norton and her Witch World series. In fact, I have even written a Witch World movie screenplay which I hope will someday get produced. All because of this book, the Key of the Keplian. It strangely makes you want to travel to some foreign land and hunt, and when the book ends, you wish there where more, which is exactly how novels should be. I highly recommend to both young and old readers of all tastes and flavours.

OUTSTANDING

I just got done reading this book. I was captured by the adventures waiting just on the next page. It was so good I couldn't bare to put it down. If you love fantasy, magical, and adventure books, this is a must for you! Eleeri, (the main character) travels into a witch world to escape her fate from the world she originated in. There she finds a friend who teaches her the ways of life in this magical new world. Then venture forth, she must, to a calling in the "east" area. What lies ahead is an adventure only author Andre Norton can describe. Untamable and Dark are the Keplians; or are they? To any creature in this world a Keplian means death. But Eleeri has a mind of her own. Determined to befriend these magnificent beasts, turn this world into the Light, destroy all Darkness, and be accepted as a daughter to the Light are just a few of the...oops, I can't tell you wether she does accomplishes them or not. To find out you'll have to read the book!

GREAT!

I loved it. Although I was disappointed in the following book. I love the pairing of Lyn McConchie and Andre Norton, while Andre Norton alone I find a tad bit dry,.....of course I've only started two, and maybe if I delve a little further I'll get excited,.....maybe.

Even if you don't like Andre Norton, you will luv this!

Personally I found some of Nortons books a little dry, okay but still a little dry....But when you pair Norton w/ Lyn McConchie....a whole different story, talk about good, this was great, also try Ciara''s Song. You'll love this book!

These are two great authors

I started collecting the Andre norton books about a year ago. The first book i bought was Ciara's Song, also by Lyn McConchie too. I fell in love with that book about 4 pages in, this one to a little while longer to love. This book told of a lot more of the Whitch world creatures, not just the people. I thought the discriptions in the book were wonderful. I felt like i was the one trying to find my way in the Dark Tower. i would recomend this book to anyone atarting the witch world series. I have yet to read The Mage Stone, but i am sure it will be just as good. This book even caught the attention of my friends, and usually Jr. High students don't like books that are fantasies. The bottom line is, I believe that Andre norton fans would not be disappointed by this book, or any other of the witch world books.
