Norton had too strong a tendency to argue that it's possible to deserve suffering and death. Others accepted the products of her facile imagination and meticulous research, but were more than a little uneasy with this basic premise. Attempts to mitigate or reject the premise are many, and Norton was evidently ambivalent on this count, so she occasionally cooperated with such revisions.

As I find it difficult to get my hands on any copies of Norton's witch world series, this was my first foray into that land. I really enjoyed it and am now in the middle of "Secrets of Witch World" which also includes The Key of the Keplian. I guess the fact that I immediately started reading The Magestone speaks for how much I enjoyed The Key of the Keplian. Parts of the plot and character development left me rolling my eyes but overall I found it a fun fantasy escape.

This book teaches that just because something has always been a certain way doesn't make it right and doesn't mean it can't change. Anyone familiar with Andre Norton's "Witch World" series "knows" that the Keplian is evil. That "fact" is drilled into us from the very first.
But our protagonist in The Key doesn't react that way. She does the impossible. She basically changes history - definitely remolding the future outcome for an entire species.

If Andre Norton is listed as an author, even after her death, the book rates 5 stars. What an incredible imagination! Thankfully, she was a prolific author. I don't read much sci-fi (everyone knows vampires are real), but I read every Witch World book I could get my hands on and was transported. It was magical.
There were other books written by Ms. Norton that were very similar to the Witch World series, but it was far and away my favorite.
