3.0 out of 5 stars Simple story about one woman's coming of age, 30 Oct 2003
By M. E. Cooper "Fantasybooks" (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Gypsum LaZelle is the middle child in a family of very talented people. The Lazelle family have magic powers. Gyp watches her two older siblings go through the transition (a serious illness where you either die, or gain your powers) and is expecting it to be her turn any time now, but when her younger brother becomes sick, it is obvious the transition has passed her by.

Gyp is devastated not to go through transition. It changes everything. She quickly finds herself resenting her family for their good fortune and eventually leaves for boarding school. Years pass, and Gyp learns to live with being normal until one day in her twentieth year, she falls terribly sick... :¬)

This book was a simple story about Gyp's relationships with her family and friends and how they change when she finally receives her powers. Transitioning so late, means that she didn't complete her magical studies and now needs to learn everything quickly. Also, a late transition means she is very powerful indeed... VERY. Worst of all, her power turns out to be a Dark Power--the power of curses. Magic must be used or Gyp risks death, but that means she has to curse someone or something three or four times per day EVERY day forever. Talk about a fun premise. Who or what would you curse?

Mark E. Cooper
