I don’t know what happened. For some reason I just couldn’t continue reading. This book, with the cover and summary, was totally up my alley but I tried…I really tried. I guess I was just too confused at some points with the history and I wasn’t met with the pressing need to find out what happened next. As it turns out, Alison was the sister that was able to “lean” on people, meaning, she was able to go into their minds; so there was the sorcery aspect of it.

This is actually my second reading of this book. I couldn't remember a single thing from the first reading (apart from it being a medieval fantasy about a pair of sisters), which says a lot right there -- good enough to read over again, but not remarkable.

This is the first part of (I think) a two-book series. It tells the story of the daughter and adopted daughter of a Saxon landowner, and how their lives change when a half-dead Norman messenger accidentally arrives at their manor i More...

Ok, this is a young adult medieval wicca novel. Not my usual fare. But I remembered really liking it as a kid and felt this urge to reread. Wasn't really that great the second time around... I had trouble understanding it, actually. Guess you have to be 13.

Probably some of the more bearable and realistic characters in fantasy.
