This book finished up the Wren series, which I planned as a teen. I stayed with it; as an adult, it interested me to follow Teressa and Hawk, both of whom had fairly hefty cases of PTSD, as each tried to make their way to a moral center from utterly opposite backgrounds.

Wren was always fun to write, especially seen through Connor's eyes.

This was the first of the Wren books I had read, and I thought it was just wonderful. I have now gone to my favorite booksellers to check on buying all of the other books in the series.

These characters are all well written, and I could tell the history, feeling, animosity for all of them, even without the back story many of the other readers may may have had. I love that there is plenty of action in the book without it being bloody and gory. Anyone can pick this book up and enjoy a thr More...

I was so interested to know what happened next in this series that I actually bought this book, making this the first book in ~5 years I've bought for myself. The world Smith has created is so interesting, and the plots so engaging, that it overcame my usual miserly habits.

It was a little bit of a let down, to be honest. Wren is as kind-hearted, friendly and playful as ever; but therein lies my problem. She and her friends are up against a sorcerer who, for the last three books, has More...

I was about eleven years old when I read Sherwood Smith’s Wren books for the first time, and I fell in love with them. Adventure, magic, a spunky, imaginative heroine, and above all, the strong bond of friendship between the four main characters drew me in. Wren is impossible not to love, and the strong-willed Princess Teressa and smart, sensible mage, Tyron, are equally wonderful. And Connor. How I loved Connor. Sweet, slightly awkward, with the ability to talk to animals – he is the epitome of More...

I LOVED this series. This one was the best one!!! Sherwood Smith actually had trouble getting it published at first (I couldn't believe it when she said that on her website cause the series was so good) but she posted it on her website and I would actually sneek to the computer lab at my high school to read it!! Now I just need to buy it to have it on the shelf with the first three.

I loved this book! Holy cow, I was already excited just to find out there was another in the series, but then to actually read it and to have it be great, that was a really cool! I thought you could tell she has been improving as an author throughout the years. I just wish it wasn't just an e book! That was kind of obnoxious. Other than that, though, the book was excellent and I loved it!

I've been following the chapter by chapter release of this, the latest, and I fear (though I hope not) final story of Wren over at Bookview Cafe

It is done... and it was a wonderful romp .

The book is written for young adults and is based around a civilisation where magic predominates. I haven't read many magic based books, despite their current popularity, but from the minute I picked it up I could hardly put it down. An excellent read. Having found it is part of a series I now need to find the earlier ones, which unfortunately are not available as ebooks
