Ratings and reviews

Take this review as of the series as a whole: Traci's work is like sitting down at a pretty epic fantasy role-playing table, but the DM won't shut her face about how great the magic power of crystals is and how, no, really, she was Elvis in her previous life. One day I hope to read a Traci Harding novel that doesn't shoehorn forced past life pseudo spirituality in like it's the last two lines of.'john jangle jingle heimer shmit' and the entire series is so very shallow at endings and at characters.

Been reading Traci's work since the very beginning. When I was in hospital very sick with cardiac problems Tracy Harding not only talked to me and wished me the best, she went a step further and gave me her very latest novel at the time. Love her. She has a loving soul. Amazing writer.

An enlightening read, like all of her books are, encouraging readers to think beyond the confines of relality and into a world of infinate potential. i have read this book myself and also shared it among friends, to the point both hard copies i owned have fallen apart. Traci Harding is a phenominal author; and if i had to comment on my favorite book/ trilogy of all time. i would highly regard this as my number one!
