I can’t think of any way to provide a brief synopsis of the plot without spoiling some part of it that I had fun discovering for myself, so I’m not even going to try. Well, I guess I could just limit myself to saying that there’s a society in this fictional world that has a really odd view about how to celebrate the twelfth year of a child’s life.
I really liked three out of the four main characters in the story. The fourth one was ok, but I never warmed up to her much. Two of the main characters are children/teenagers from the aforementioned odd society. The other two are adult mages. One of those is the one I never really warmed up to. The other was Medwind, the mage instructor who had discovered the main character in the previous book, Faia. Faia herself is in this book a fair amount, but I don’t believe we ever read anything from her perspective.
Both books so far have each told a complete story. I complained in my review of the first book that there was some wolf stuff that was never explained, and it wasn’t followed up on in this book either so I don’t think it was intended to be a plot thread. That book was Holly Lisle’s first novel, and I guess she was just using it to foreshadow events but forgot to consider whether it actually made sense in the context of the story. In this book, I didn’t notice anything like that. I thought everything made sense, although there was one aspect of the story near the end that I found to be way too coincidental, and there were several things related to that aspect which weren’t explained to my satisfaction.
But overall I was happy with the story and with the way most of the main plot threads were tied up. I had trouble putting the book down because I always wanted to see what would happen next, and I definitely plan to read the final book in the trilogy. ( )
