A slow start. The time spans covered in this book are bigger than in the first two. There are less details, everything is painted with a broader brush. It feels a bit as if she's trying get the story going faster, to lead up to a later point somewhere. But eventually the story picks up again. I especially liked to read about Isabeau's time with the Khan'coban. The end almost reads a little like the final part of a trilogy - a nice wrap-up of the main story lines.

Þetta er örlítið að dala. Of margir þræðir í gangi. Mér sýndist líka að ein persóna hefði hoppað yfir heilt ár.

I don't know if it's the book, or if it's just that at book 3 I'm getting tired of narrator. I found myself getting distracted very easily from the story. I may have enjoyed this more if I'd read the printed version. 
I started finding the characters annoying, particularly Lachlan. I also found I didn't care much what happened to the characters
I may give this series another go in print, but won't continue with the audio.

A good continuation of a compelling series. Forsyth's writing, particularly in regards to her characters, grows stronger in each sequel. I'm definitely looking forward to the next book in the series.

This is the third book in the Witches of Eileanan series and I really enjoyed it. It took me a while to get into the story but once things got going it was pretty exciting. I think one of the reasons I didn't enjoy this book as much as the previous two was because it had a lot of focus on Iseult and I wasn't as interested in what she was doing compared to Isabeau. Either way I really enjoyed the book and can't wait to continue on with the series.
