Book Reviews of Circle of the Moon
Book Review: Even better than the first book
Summary: 4 Stars
I really liked Circle of the Moon. I liked it better than the book that preceded it, in which we first meet the Sisters of the Raven. That is, in part, because the ending was happier. I can't recall the last time I read a Hambly novel that had an upbeat ending.
I liked what Hambly's done with Foxfire Girl, in particular. There were also two points in the story where I thought, 'yes, of course', as pieces I hadn't connected before slid into place, a thing few authors can manage. It was a FUN book to read.
It was not perfect. Raeshaldis takes leave of her senses in service of the plot, and Oryn, who's no fool, displays a true inability to manage politics. I guess he didn't learn anything from the events of the first book.
Summary of Circle of the Moon
The laws of magic have changedno one knows how or why. And with that change, new perils have arisen: deadly water-monsters from the depths of the Seven Lakes and a plague of madness in the desert. In the strongholds of human safety, anger and greed bloom as nobles and landchiefs fight for power. Raeshaldis, the only woman formally trained in the old systems of male magic, allies herself with the beautiful concubine Summerchild to found the Circle of the Moona motley group of women whose powers are untested, unknown, and unreliable. Faced with an attempt by the landchiefs to oust the King, and with the efforts of her own family to re-enslave her, Raeshaldis must play a deadly guessing-game, while an even more terrible threat awaits......Friendship Books
