Epic Fantasy once used to be my favourite genre, and books like this remind me why; the author has a strong sense of world-building. She interweaves the various characters’ lives, societies and religions in a way that makes them wholly believable. And amid all this, there’s an interesting love story. I was particularly taken with the Dreamweaver, Leiard, haunted in a possibly life-threatening way by ‘linked memories’. I have Books 2 & 3 to look forward to and hope I enjoy these equally, although I don’t feel this series is as compelling as Canavan’s ‘The Black Magician Trilogy’. ( )

An interesting start but for me this novel didn't really grab me or feel like the plot was moving. ( )

Try as I did, I just do not enjoy Trudi Canavans writing style. She is on a list for me of authors who have great stories, ideas, and worlds in their minds, but who cannot write them well.
I do enjoy the story she is trying to tell as there were so many great fantasy elements to it that I love; sorcery, new imaginative races, battles, magic, etc. However her writing just ended up distracting from those great things.
While she had new races, they all had the same characteristics of her humans. The best part of new races is that they would think, act, and feel different. Otherwise why have them? Authors like Tolkien, and Hayden, and Williams do this wonderfully.
I think if I had read this book years ago, I would have liked it better, before I had read some amazing other fantasy authors.
Overall a good fantasy story, but in no ways a great one. ( )

This book took me a long time to get through as I had a hard time getting used to only spending a short time with each plot before it would switch to what was going on with another set of characters. If only the Justice League guy had a "Meanwhile" that would play with each scene change. The general foreboding that permeates the series gets to be a bit much, and I just wish they'd get on with it already! Looking forward to the next book. ( )

Auraya stapte over de omgevallen boomstam heen terwijl ze angstvallig probeerde te vermijden dat krakende droge bladeren en twijgen haar aanwezigheid zouden verraden.
Auraya stepped over a fallen log, taking care that no crinkle of crushed leaves or snapping of twigs betrayed her presence.
