This my favourite book by Isobelle Carmody. I've read many times with maybe a year or more gap between, and each time I forget things and then am pleasantly surprised to experience this wonderful world of Keltor and it's relatable characters. I recommend this series to everyone. Darkbane is eagerly anticipated, but we still have to wait a while for it... but each time I reread this series, it is offers more and more, and rereading it is such an experience because each time I get to go back to this beautiful story, characters and world, and makes me reflect again and again of the chaos and indifference that our world suffers from.

4.5

it seems like more world-building was added which is a good thing but also didn't quite mesh with the first book, like details was taken for granted that i wasn't expecting
i really like this world and i will forever be suffering that this book was written before i could walk and i am 20 now and still waiting for a sequel....
and i have to admit glynn & solen's whole romance subplot was *annoying* on the levels of anakin and padme in the prequel trilogy
