Nice background info

I enjoyed most of the book but the end of the love story needs more rewrites. It was a struggle to believe the escalation of that plot. But otherwise enjoyable

Loved it!!!

I don't know what people are referring to regarding the narrators accent. I didn't notice one and thought she did a great job. I agree that you could read this one before The Black Witch to be in accurate timeline order. The Black Witch pretty much picks up where this one leaves off. Glad for the fill in/back story on Sage as well as the white wand itself. Starting the Iron Flower now!

Fantastic

Fantastic interlude to the chronicles. Even better than expected. Sage's character development swept me in as we learn more about the different races and the story going on prior to Elleren getting the White Wand. I can only imagine it will help highlight parts of the next book in a new way and shape the already enthralling story further. While the narrator started out shakey to me (it's jarring having a third narrator for the series) she improves as the book goes on and I find her very fitting to the story quickly. Her talent for coming up with new accents for the various races is impressive. This may be one of my favorite books of the chronicles thus far. On to the next one!

magical fantasy storyline

I love this book series and I am far from a young adult or teen. the story was great for leading into the Black Witch. narrator was a little rough, very monotone.

Narrator pronounces words wrong

The story is great but I can't get over the heavy Minnesota accent and poor pronunciation from the narrator. It's drives me crazy that she pronounces Sages name as Sage Ellen instead of Sagelyn.
