excellent and then some

This is a truely amazing book no matter where your taste lies. It is interesting, descriptive (without becoming boring), and has the ability to compell readers to read this beautifully wrought novel. Though it is told mainly through feminine views, it is not a story which the only reason the hero is not male is because the author likes the novelty of female heroines and thus gives the heroine infinite powers. Instead it is a story which contain both the upsides and downsides of human personality. However, since it is a fantasy novel and not a "real-life" story (in which someone gets cancer and the parents are divorced), something unusual has to happen to seperate it from the afforementioned category. The result is one of the best books I have ever read.

Couldn't put it down!

This is an excellent book! I was hooked from the first chapter. The characters take on a life of their own and you can't wait to find out what happens next. Highly recommended!

Wonderful, but requires mental skill.

I'm an avid reader and book collector, and this has remained my favorite book for the past few years. It is not a brainless book -- it is hard for some people to get used to if they are not used to the style in which it is written. It had some wonderful original points and very strong, creative female characters. I have yet to have a friend say they didn't like this book!

Wow! What a book!

I must say that I am glad to have found this book on the shelves at my library. I read it once and couldn't put it down. Then i kept thinking about it enough that I went out and bought my own copy. I would seriously recommend this book for anyone with a taste for mystery, magic, and fantasy, as well as those who are not quite as into fantasy, as there are only some elements of the book that are really fantastical. All in all, a great book, and one that I will enjoy reading over and over again.

A powerful adventure with strong female protagonists.

Once again, three of the leading science fiction/fantasy authors have shown their mettle. The characters in this book are both believable and riveting. It is so refreshing to see strong women in leading roles in a story which does not depend on their gender to move the story. I would hardily reccommend this book to anyone who enjoys books about intrigue, fantasy, adventure or human relationships for it contains elements of all these. I read the book in one night because I literally could not put it down without having the urge to pick it back up
