Book Reviews of Prism Moon
Book Review: Bardic burblings or brilliant wanderings?
Summary: 4 Stars
A very slender sequel.
Marwen continues her adventures and must journey to seek her staff as the wizards heir, a position that is contested... by her old foe from Marmawell, a haunt from the past who may be more than he seems ... (bring on the music).. She has not yet witnessed Maug's tapestry (by folklore this means he is less than a person, lower than a slave, and extremly untrustworthy) although since the first book, Marwen has her own tapestry rewoven.
However in her journey to seek out a staff, a new horror falls over the land, as Maug has stolen the Prism moon and seeks to control the world, and Marwen also.
Not a whole lot of suspense, (thus I don't hesitate to disclose half the plot) but enjoyable and absorbingly written.
This tiny tome is only 165pgs in full, and took a little under 3 hours to read - but a well spent few hours.
Not frivolous, the telling leans to slow and misty imaginings, with occasions of blunt events and descriptions breaking up the pace a little.
Every chapter is introduced with a bardic snippet. More often than not, they reveal exactly what is going to occur in the next pages, for those who look with a keen and knowing eye.
Once again this book ends so conclusively it is difficult to believe that more awaits.
A good follow up, and the romance between Marwen and her prince continues, to satisfy all the romantics amongst us. We are given a satisfactory conclusion and I await with interest where the third and final volume will lead.
Summary of Prism Moon
The word is out upon the land: Marwen has vanquished the dragon and finds herself heir to the Wizard's staff. But her transformation is not yet complete, and the staff is not yet hers. And danger lurks closer than ever as the staff is sought by another who holds the dreaded power of the Prism Moon.
"Attention-grabbing action, but . . . fresh, subtle, and richly expressed. Highly recommended."
-Canadian Book Review Annual
"Fantasy that is astonishing for its depth and vision."
