There was a faint shimmer in the air above the grass rectangle. The adept's figure seemed to swim, making Shar blink in confusion. Then came a sound, not quite a crackling and not quite a hiss, but with something of both.
And the adept vanished.
Warning!
This is the third book in a series, and reading this review without
having read book one and two might spoil some of your fun.
The story:
To rescue Shar, Tarod used an long-forgotten way of travelling; the
Maze. Now the Circle is curious, and they are trying to figure out
how to make the Maze work.
To Shar, it is frustrating to see the older Initiates try to figure out how the Maze works, when she feels she can do better. So she borrows the amulet and sets out to try for herself.
But in doing so, she discovers that a new, dangerous enemy has awoken;
one that comes from within. An enemy that threatens not only Shar,
but the existance and sanity of all her friends as well.
Thoughts about the book:
This book is going one step away from being a children's story. Shar
faces some of the same demons as Indigo did, but told in a different
way, and with the demons visualized differently.
For this reason alone, the book is worth reading, but there is also more about the relationship between Tarod and Ailind, whom started out cooperating in The Dark Caller.
I am now waiting to see if there comes more books, telling more about those two.
