Format:Hardcover
I have read all of the Hawkenlye series and now I am reading the Aelf Fen series, and I have to say I am enjoying them as much if not more, I love the characters and soon got into Lassair and her family and friends, for me Alys Clare is without a doubt my favourite author, I love her style of writing, the only problem is I cannot put her books down so I read them so quickly that I am sad when I finish one,and then I cant wait for the next one to be published, which is where I am at the moment. I would recommend this book to any one.Also I would recommend readers to the first book in the Aelf Fen series which is titled Out of the Dawn Light. Joyce Travers
Format:Paperback
When a novice eel catcher is attacked and left for dead in the fetid marshes around the Isle of Ely, apprentice healer Lassair is called to go and tend to her cousin, so taking her satchel, her courage and her friend Sibert, Lassair journeys to the mystical isle, where pagan and Norman religions are in a thinly veiled war over the construction of the most magnificent cathedral in the land on the original site of the Saxon Saint Etheldreda. It soon becomes apparent that someone wants Lassair's cousin silenced, the only possible reason being his witnessing of a very pale-haired and eyed boy being smuggled into the great abbey against his will. Lassair and Sibert are drawn into the mystery and the silent war amongst the mists. But more will dog their damp steps, for Sibert is also here to discover the truth of what happened to his father at the time of Hereward's infamous rebellion against the late King William the Conqueror and Lassair is unwittingly drawn into a deeper conspiracy of Saxon against the Norman King William II and his enigmatic spies infiltrating Ely's misty marshes, all the while trying to discover what, if any, spiritual powers she may have to aid her...
'Mist Over The Water' is a brilliantly engaging read from start to finish, with plenty of unanswered questions and wounds left over from the turbulent past of a conquered land to keep you turning pages. The spiritual element wisping its way through might not be to everyone's taste, but personally I think it's done skillfully enough not to spoil anything, and of course, many thought for centuries that anyone with healing hands must have some sort of mystical power. It gets five stars because of its location and the personal interest in this area. An excellent read. I will be looking for more from this series.

NOT a historical mystery
5 Mar 2012
Format:Paperback
An apprentice healer spends more time on magical rituals than herbs.
I skipped the first book in this series because I don't like phony supernatural tales. Unfortunately, this one wasn't any better - it is NOT a historical mystery, it's woo-woo gibberish. I quit very quickly.
