Product Description

Product Description

The sequel to the international bestseller "City of Masks". The time period is the same - C16 Talia as a parallel world version of Italy - but the setting has moved from Bellezza (Venice) to Remora (Siena). The main character in this book is Georgia - who has a love of horses. She is desperate to buy a little, dusty winged horse that has appeared in a local antique shop. This tiny, winged horse will prove to be the talisman (as the notebook was for Lucien in "City of Masks") that will transport Georgia to Siena - right into the rivalries and the high-octane excitement of the hugely competitive Stellata horse race - and more. Mary Hoffman has proved herself a mistress of a narrative tour-de-force with "City of Masks" and this sequel will not disappoint. 'If you enjoyed "Stravaganza: City of Masks" then you will love returning to Talia in this exciting sequel. Featuring a flying horse, a fast and furious horse race, kidnapping and much intrigue, this is a great adventure.' - Grainne Cooney, Bookseller Teenage Reading Choice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another great read, possibly even better than the first!, 3 Oct 2006
By Wrecky World (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
Once again, we find ourselves travelling between England and Talia, which is located in a alternate world. Like the first book, the book has likable characters, dangerous adventures, and a Mary Hoffman's wonderful captivating writing style. You just can't go wrong with that combination. Moreover, this book is possibly even better than the first one because the characters are a little deeper: in the first book, the emphasis is on Talia and the alternate world; in the second book, it is more on the characters. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because although it is a very good book and definitely worth reading, it doesn't have an edge over other books in its category.

Her Talisman is a winged horse which alows her to move between to worlds from are england to a place called remora (Siena)in the 16th centuary Talia (Italy).

5.0 out of 5 stars 'Fantastic Fantasy', 4 May 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Stravaganza - City of Stars (Hardcover)
These books are wonderful 'reads'. Don't read this review, buy, and read the books. When you have, spread the word and wait impatiently, as I am, for the next in the trilogy.
