The detailing of this fantasy world was good, without going into too much detail. The characters are well rounded. It takes a chapter or two for the book to really begin, but once it does, it is hard to put down. (  ) jackelly | Nov 21, 2008 | The goal of this book appears to be stuffing as many fantasy tropes into one book as possible. At first I thought maybe it was done in order to skewer them, but no such luck. None of the characters is actually developed enough to create a true affection for them. It is a pleasant but slight and stereotypical fantasy and as such a disappointment. ronincats | Apr 22, 2008 | I really never got into this book. I kept reading it because I'd started it and devoted enough time that it seemed like I should finish. Then, about 100 pages from the end (in a pretty big book!) I got a library book that I'd been eagerly anticipating. I put this book aside to read that one, and then had absolutely no desire to start up again. So I never finished this book. I don't think it was a big loss. (  ) maughta | Apr 4, 2008 | Love this book! So jazzed there's 2 more! ( ) velvetsnape | Feb 11, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review

|
Award-winning author Catherine Asaro, creator of The Skolian Empire, creates her first full-length fantasy novel in a world rich with magic and power. Fans who caught a glimpse of the kingdom of Aronsdale in "Moonglow" from the Charmed Destinies collection are delighted with the result!
What was the use of being a powerful mage if you couldn't learn the spells?
Once Chime had been the most promising mage in the land, feted and celebrated for her potential and future role in the kingdom. The Iris, he young competitor, made a stunning leap in skill and turned Chime's world upside down.
Now no longer the most powerful, no longer promised to a prince -- and still unable to harness her magic properly -- Chime was set adrift. As was the new king's cousin -- and former heir -- Lord Muller. Yet when the neighboring kingdom threatened war, Muller and Chime were tasked with uncovering the plot. Both were flawed, yet unwilling to accept a lesser destiny than they had once known. Could this quest be the opportunity for redemption -- or would it lead them to their deaths?
