Review by: goldfishstar (Natalie)
Dated: 23rd of August, 2006
I'd loved the first of Karen Miller's books - The Innocent Mage - and awaited this book with baited breath...
I wasn't disappointed!
The author was able to carry all the things I loved from the first book through to this one... the complexity of friendships - not just Asher and Gar, but Danthe and others as well, the wonder of a new world to explore (I sincerely hope this isn't the end of our travels in Lur with Ms Miller!), the evilness that pervades...
Morg is released into the seemingly settled world of Lur and creates HAVOC!
Not only is almost the entire royal family dead in a freak 'accident', but now the magicless Prince Gar has suddenly 'found' his magic!
The nation rejoices with Gar as he is crowned King - and Morg lies in wait for the moment that his trickery fails and Gar tumbles from his newfound perch on the throne...
When the magic does begin to fail, Gar turns to Asher for his support and aid.... and this comes in ways that neither of them would have EVER expected!
The Cirle is still there, and Danthe's premonitions of evilness rolling across the land comes true as Morg finally escapes his 'prison' and starts to take down the wall that has protected Lur for so long - for he has created all sorts of monsters, demons and otherwise on the other side of the wall...
And the Circle is forced into action, some of it in the deadliest possible way, to protect their Innocent Mage....
As I said earlier... I sincerely hope this is not the last we have heard of Asher and the world of Lur - as I could get to like the place...
In fact, I do already!!
