Rating: Summary: Truly a good book Review: Although this is not AS good as the first book Aurian, it is still a very captivating and a must read! I love how Maggie Furey illustrates the books with words, especially the part where Anvar hears the harps and when it builds a star road for him! Absolutely wonderful!
Rating: Summary: Continueing on with the tale Review: Aurian can no longer rely on her magic and must fight in other ways to save not only her life, but her unborn childs. The settings are fantastic in this one, having the winged folk, and thier cities in the cliffs. The Artifacts Of Power books are filled with one running main plot and several sub plots, making it an interesting and in depth series to read. However, by the end of the forth book all the loose ends are pretty much tied up.
Rating: Summary: If the first book was 5 starts, this would be 4.5 Review: I could not put it down... it was almost as good as the first one, but still better that most other books I have read. I think I read this book in about a day, during summer vacation, because I could only put it down to eat and drink.. truly amazing!
Rating: Summary: Average fantasy Review: I found this book nice enough, but certainly not above average. It follows the usual fantasy clichees and the writer makes a decent job of it, with good and colorful descriptions. However, the people in the novel are less than convincing - especially in the really emotional scenes. The supporting cast are much more believable than for instance Aurian, the heroine. This is the main flaw of this novel and also the reason why I won't read any sequels to this book.
Rating: Summary: Harp of Winds Review: I loved this book! It reminds me in alot of ways of the Sword Of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. I love all the chac. in this book and I totally disagree with Diane from Norway. All of the characters I think are very well developed. There is constant action and intensity and it makes me want to sit up all night to finish it. I am sad to learn that Dhiammara is the last book in the series:( keep up the good work Maggie!

Rating: Summary: Once You Start You Can't Stop Reading! Review: I Never read the first book but got the second one as a present from my mom for christmas. Once I started reading I couldn't stop. The Story pulls you in. The power lies in the fact it spins so many character and character lines together in a beautiful webbed story. Main characters are Aurian and her friend Anvar who struggle against the evil sorcerer Miathan and a terrible winter that was created by him to gain power over their entire world. Things look bad, because Aurian lost her magic, because she's pregnant from her old lover, but everything comes to an end in a Beautiful climax, which makes ur eyes glued to the last pages of the book, and make u feel sorry u finished the book. I can't wait to go to the store for the other parts of this cronicle...
Rating: Summary: Once You Start Reading You Can't Stop! Review: I never read the first book, so I like fell in the deep when I start reading the second part in the cronicles. It's very good. The writer is good at pulling many threads and characters together to make a magical story that pulls you in and doesn't let you go untill you've read the last page. I enjoyed it very much and can't wait to read the next parts :-)
Rating: Summary: Skarlet's opinion Review: I thought it was great by it-self. It shows how the characters feel and how they think. Although it was only part of a really big picture. I reccomend this series only if you can handle long stories and can peice together the plot.
Rating: Summary: Not as good as Aurian but still gripping. Review: Maggie Furey has created a world that is so vivid the reader has no trouble being swept along with the characters and feel their emotions right along side them. I do not think this second book in the series is as engrossing as the first book, Aurian. However I had so fallen in love with the characters that I needed to obtain book three, "Sword of Flame," as soon as I finished "Harp of Winds."
