Ware Hawk

Summary: Perilous journey through Witch World
Review: "'Ware Hawk" weaves a very dark tapestry of Witch World, where Evil comes closer to victory than in any of Norton's other WW novels. It begins several years after the Turning, when the Witches of Estcarp reshaped the mountains between themselves and their enemies. Those who did not flee from the heights when the mountains surged and foamed and changed shape like waves in the ocean, were destroyed. This book is the story of Tirtha, a woman of part-witch blood who hires a Falconer, a soldier whose home was destroyed by the Turning, to guide her over the mountains. She is under a geas to return to her deserted ancestral hold and recover a treasure that was hidden when her family was slain by the enemies of Estcarp. Her journey over-mountain is made even more perilous by a Dark One who is determined to foil Tirtha's quest.

"'Ware Hawk" is a classical Norton confrontation between a determined and seemingly powerless heroine and a sophisticated, all-powerful Dark magician. If you are already a Witch World fan, this book is a 'must read'.

Review: This book is the reason why I continue to read Andre Norton's novels, though her books are disappointing nowadays. It has a depth and intensity that the newer ones lack. Get a copy if you can!

Summary: My first Witch World.
Review: This is a pretty good book to start with for new Witch World people ,except that some parts will be confusing ,as they were for me,but that wouldn't have been so if I'd read all of the previous books.This book is very intrugueing ,and very mysterious .I can see why Witch World is considered her best .Norton continues her depth in magic ,which is one of the reasons I adore her work.This book gives a little prologue on what has happened previously ,so readers may understand .I highly reccomend this book!

Summary: This is a Wonderful WW story!
Review: Tirtha and her Falconer are strong characters...nicely fleshed out in this story. If you are a W.W. fan then this is a must if you haven't read it. If you are not...be careful, you just might become addicted like the rest if us!
