I don't really know what to say about this book. Too many unanswered questions, too many loose threads. Apparently there is a possible sequel, but I'm not sure if I care enough to search it out if it is ever published.
The story itself is intriguing, with the different forms of magic--the kind the mages use and the life force that the Tari use. We get to know two of the three sisters quite well, Elena (the fatal beauty who is clever) and Yani (the warrior). But much of the backstory is missing and barely gets sketched in by the end of the book. This is a book with too many similar names for the tribes--a map would have helped.

I liked this book. It's pretty obvious the author intended to write at least one more book after this, and if she gets around to it, I will read it.
Great book! Highly recommended!

- Epigraph
- "... I am going to pay a visit to your hut and take away the beautiful Brisies, your prize, Achilles, to let you know that I am more powerful than you, and to teach others not to bandy words and defy their King."
Agamemnon... (show all), The Iliad
Mathinna's Story
Three children born of life force,
A bridge from death to life,
from imbalance to harmony.
The warbird flies at their command
To rein in the people of the dragon.
A demon fire that burns... (show all) toward Ermora
Yields to their quenching
A melded child of their making
Is born to rule the dragon
To bring harmony in clasped hands. - First words
- Pushing aside the fallen stones of Asgor's fortress with bloody hands, Mathinna pulled herself out of the smoking rubble.
- Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)It was a new day.
