Product Description
Product Description
Trouble just seems to follow Faia Rissedotte. She's a powerful mage, perhaps the most powerful. And it's Faia's fate to bring the Delmuire Barrier down, to end life as it has been for millenia on Arhel, and to reunite it with the rest of the world. Much as Faia will fight it, Fate will have its way with her--but even the gods won't be the same when she's done.

This book is really great. I didn't want to put it down once I picked it up! The contents are full of adventure and excitement. It even has some romance but it's not to sappy. That's something that you have to work to find in the romance of books. Faia and the other outstanding cast of characters will never let you forget about them once you have read this book!

A very fast, exciting read.
11 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback
"Mind of the Magic" starts out quickly with a small conflict, then another, and again another, leading us toward the central story. Then things slow, or seem to, but one of those early bits of conflict quietly holds in place. It keeps reminding us that there's more happening under the surface, that something bigger is lurking, waiting for Faia to become complacent.
As in the previous "Arhel" books, Holly's style is very clean. She never allows the story to lose focus. We learn what we need to about the characters and the world, but never to the point where gaining this knowledge pulls us from the meat of the story.
I became a zombie reading "Mind of the Magic." In fact, in 4 days I read this and "Fire in the Mist," finishing them in two sittings each.
For me, the real gem of this story is the conflict between the Servants and Faia's party. Such horrid, repulsive men, hiding their thieving and murdering behind a mask of Holy self-righteousness. This is followed closely by Faia's visions from within the emeshest, seeing the futility of what she'd done.

Faia returns. Great!
9 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback
Faia Rissedotte returns in this third in the series by Holly Lisle. Again disdaining all the established rules, fate delivers her into great trouble. Intelligence and ability help her out. Another winner and a great read. I didn't want to put it down. Only exhaustion and the need to support my family (work) made me. If you like fantasy with twists this ones for you.
