A world where the war is constant with an alien race that came from the Void has been unbalanced by the arrival of the Aachim after Tiian has opened a dimensial door. More misteries are unfolding in this third part in which more mancers (those capable to mani...
WARNING! possible spoiler........I didn't enjoy this book quite as much as the other 3 in the series, mainly because of the ending. If I'd realised that this wasn't the end of the story, then I'd probably view the end of the book differently. As somebody else has already observed, this is really ...
I read the first 70 pages of this a long time ago, and put it aside for reasons I now forget. I finally picked it up again, and enjoyed it far more than I expected to! Plot, characters, worldbuilding are all awesome. Everyone whose viewpoint you read from has flaws, yet they all become likable at...
In ancient times the Way Between the Worlds was shattered, leaving bands of Aachim, Faellem, and Charon trapped with the old humans of Santhenar. Now Llian, a Chronicler of the Great Tales, uncovers a 3,000-year-old secret too deadly to be revealed-while Karan, a young sensitive, is compelled by ...
This is a difficult one for me. I definitely enjoyed the plot, the characters and to a certain extend, the conclusion. I think what keeps me from rating this set higher than 3 stars was the writing style. This is a very personal thing (I find Tolkien a hard read for the same reason, so he's in go...
I have been reading this series on and off for so long that they feel like a part of me. The worry with a a series that encompasses 12 books, this one being the 11th, is that eventually you get bored because of predictabilty (not so here)or the style changes for the worst (not so here). I read th...
Ullii had knocked off her mask while sleeping and was woken by Nyg-Gu slamming in with her breakfast, leaving the door wide open. Ullii let out a screech, whereupon Nyg-Gu, frightened, slapped her. The seeker went into a screaming fit in which she clawed out her earplugs. By the time Nish, who ha...
Yggur raised his fist. For a moment it seemed that violence would be done right there, then the door slammed open and Maigraith swayed through, looking as though all the blood had been sucked from her veins. Into the sudden silence she dropped her bombshell. 'I have been to Elludore through a gat...

said Lyf. “It defies the very laws of nature.” Grandys’ return from the dead, wielding the accursed sword, had almost unmanned him. And he’d lost two ebony pearls, a crippling blow now that magery was failing and weakening more every day. Lyf wavere...

Greave had often told the joke, smugly implying that he was that very master. An inveterate seducer, he prided himself on his self-possession, but it eluded him now. The irony did not. Go on, then. Complete the deed. Not for anything could Greave continue, and now he felt the young woman grow coo...
