Each of the five brought from ‘our world’ to Fionavar sets about their task with dread and foreboding as war with the Unraveller looms large and unnatural winter descends long into spring. As Midsummer’s Eve approaches, tensions run high and each of the five has an important role to play, though some don’t know yet what it is. The pages just kept turning, and although some of the phraseology seemed a bit cheesy at times, I enjoyed this installment in the series and look forward to the next. (  ) Spuddie | Mar 12, 2009 | A WONDERFUL series. Something I believe will be considered a classic. (  ) willowcove | Feb 19, 2009 | Everyone says this one gets good and you just have to be patient. I never found it got good enough to keep me interested. The characters felt inconsistent and unreal and, personally, I never felt transported to Fionavar. (  ) jharlton | Feb 18, 2009 | After the terrible events of the last book, the Five know that they must return to Fionavar to help save the world. Although I'd remembered some of the events of this book, I'd forgotten just how sad it was. Still worth the reading though! alasen_reads | Feb 8, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review

Unlike more recent fantasy novels, this is short and to the point. There isn't a lot of time wasted on minor characters or lengthy side plots, nor words wasted on endless explanation. It is mystical and mythical and fascinating. Not tremendously original at times, but still excellent. If you enjoy Tolkien style fantasy, you'll enjoy this. (
