Review Samples:
I became invested in these characters and could not wait to find out what happened to them and their world. I stayed up very late reading this excellent story. I have read one other of Holly Barbo's books and missed the two in the middle. I have them and will definitely read them as soon as I can.
This is just a wonderful story. I love the world Holly has created and her characters are a great mix of people with different goals, talents and needs.
As an animal lover, I especially enjoy how Holly portrays the animals in her stories. I also give her kudos for her attention to how people treat others as well as how people treat the environment in which they live. Everything is a balance and Holly's world realizes the importance of balance.
I highly recommend this story to any and all fantasy fans.

This book is unique in the Sage chronicles, as it continues the story of the 3rd book, rather than introducing a new character. In a way this made it more engaging as one has developed empathy toward the characters already. Beautiful lessons in teamwork & the true familial connection we ALL share on this planet!
