review 1: I loved every second of this series. It is so refreshing to read a book and enjoy it! I found myself not wanting to put any of these books down! However now, like all of my favorite books I am at a loss as to what I should read next. I know that there is a good chance the next book I pick up will be a disappointment. Why can't all books be this well written???? Oh well perhaps the writer will write more later... Hey author ... Dragons next time think dragons!! On to the next...
review 2: *disclaimer* I struggle with expressing my views through scholarly writing, so please don't judge this critique too harshly. I feel like there were some very intriguing ideas presented in this series such as high magic versus green magic versus gray wolf "magic" (I put this l... moreast form of magic in parentheses because it was not nearly as active of a supernatural gift as the other two forms of magic were). The tension between the Wizards (wielders of high magic) and the Clan folk (wielders of green magic) was interesting. Despite the slow beginning in the first book (see Eric Allen's review on "The Demon King") I still feel like the two main characters, Han and Raisa, had a decent arch by the end of the series. My beef with this series is the same as my beef with the Heir Chronicles and that is that most of the plot twists and "surprises" were extremely predictable. As a voyeur, I had trouble believing that the characters themselves could not see the danger that was just a few steps in front of them. I like to experience the surprises at the same time as the characters. Chima did better at this toward the end of the series, but I think she could still use some more practice. She has some really good ideas and if she collaborated with the right people she could produce some brilliant work (I think that's true for most authors though). less
