I first read this as a teenager. A girl in class whom I hardly knew lent it to me 'I think you'll like it, my brother raves about it'. It totally blew me away then, and having re-read it twice the effect is the same. Why, I don't quite know. Fantasy as a genre was in its infancy when I first read it, maybe it was the shock of the new. Visions of its strange landscape still enter my mind at random intervals...that's how strong an effect it has. Andre Norton was a genius. ( )

Again Andre Norton drew me into the story just like the first time I read it back in the 80s. ( )

This is definitely a guilty pleasure. I don't know why this half fish/half man was so romantically compelling...but who can predict romantic attraction? ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
First words
It has been an oft-told story of our birthing that our mother, the Lady Jaelithe (she who put aside her witchhood in Estcarp to wed the outland warrior, Simon Tregarth), did demand of some Power she served certain gifts for us, whom she bore in great and painful travail. That she named my brother Kyllan, warrior, my sister Kaththea, witch (or one to control powers), and asked for me, wisdom. But it has been that my wisdom consists in knowing that I know very little, though the thirst for learning has ever been in me. Only, in spite of all my striving, I have done no more than nibble at the edges of knowledge's rich cake, liplicked the goblet of true wisdom. But perhaps to know one's limitations is, in itself, a kind of sagecraft.

Haiku summary

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0441873235, Paperback)

Classic Fantasy Series. "Kyllan the warrior, Kaththea the untried witch, Kemoc, whose powers could surpass all others- these are the half-Earthling, half witch-brood family menaced by the sorceries of an unknown enemy. The burden of the struggle fell to Kemoc, who was forced to summon his untested powers in the battle to match the alien evil threatening the Witch World."
