I admit, my judgment is cloudy with fantasy novels, and the fact that I'm addicted makes me slightly too harsh a critic.
That said, this was a great read, nice setting and good characters, weighed down by the fact that it's all out there already.
The two lands separated by mistrust, check.
Girl with a mysterious past, check.
Farmer suddenly discovering magical talent, check.
Newly talented farmer finding out she's one of the strongest magicians out there, check.

This book was okay. The characterizations were very cliched: the stubborn, prideful girl who won't admit she needs help from the down-to-earth guy. The plot was interesting though! But I was very distracted by the author's use of 'irate' to describe every angry action. Pick a new word: furious, fuming, seething, cross, mad, livid, enraged, incesed, up in arms...pick one!

Not my favorite book there are 4 in this series, it was different then I expeceted, the first one is my favorite but when the girl starts to change shapes in the latter books I lost my interest. David (my 17 year old) he likes them and would like me to finish buying the series.

I really enjoyed this authors style of writing. Very detailed, but keeps your interest. She doesn't describe the room to the smallest detail, however she will describe it while the characters walk around it/touch it/sense it. I read every word on every page.

I loved this series! It stayed simple and focused on only a few main characters - not branching out and getting too unwieldy. I really liked the characters and how they developed. And the world was well done, I thought.

This is a great fantasy novel that will have the reader on their toes throughout the pages. If you are into fantasy and magic, this is a big step up from Harry Potter. This is a series too! so keep reading them!

Enjoyed this one. Wouldn't call it a classic, not on the level of Anne McCaffrey, but it's light reading and I'm curious to see how the story unfolds.... yep, it left us with a bit of a cliffhanger.

This is a clean, interesting fantasy for adults. I liked the heroine and the strong men in this story. The story continues in three other books which are also good.
