Rating: Summary: A must-read for fans of Antryg Review: Read The Silent Tower and The Silicon Mage? Wonder what happened to Joanna and Antryg after the miraculous save and his exile to magicless Los Angeles?Well, they lived happily ever after. For a couple of months. Suddenly everyone Antryg knows has the same distressing dream... the senders can't get to Antryg, and they know it, but the message is clear: we can hurt the people around you. And then Joanna disappears, kidnapped again across the Void. Antryg obeys the summons and is nabbed by the Council of Wizards. There's trouble again in Ferryth, and they want his help... if he's not the one causing the trouble himself. Not trusting him one bit, the Council binds Antryg's power - leaving him with only his wits to defend himself, find Joanna, and get to the bottom of this before reality flies apart at the seams. This book is not as wham-bam fabulous as the Windrose chronicles, but it's a good read, some of Hambly's better work. And if you, like so many, really need just one more dose of the daft wizard hero, you gotta get this book.
Rating: Summary: Great to see things from Antryg's perspective Review: This book was picked up on chance, I enjoyed the Untrained Wizard so tried this one. The characters are so realistic and the story was such that the ending was not as was expected. I haven't read the others and was able to enjoy this one as a single book so that says alot for her storytelling. Now I will be reading the first two and hoping for a fourth or fifth. If anyone wants to read a book about magic and good vs. evil then this is one of the best to read.
