Sorcerer's Legacy

Rating:
Summary: A Shimmering Star in Science fiction.
Review: Fantasy is one of the fields in which a pool of a few basic concepts are regurgitated repeatedly and it is very rarely that one comes across a truly original fantasy novel. Sorcerer's Legacy is one of the few examples of true originality in the fantasy field. With a novel system of sorcery, an unparallelled addressing of the problems of time travelling and a plot that cannot be predicted even if one wishes to to. An as for its style, rapid paced, marvellously characterised and in this and her other books Wurts' use of imagery is of the best in the field

Review: Janny Wurt's careful structure makes Pendaire pass in flowing images of reality, then the reader is cast into the enchantment of shinning sorceries swept over and beyond her charater's awareness and deep into the heart of her readers.Allowing the feelings of her characters to seep into a readers soul and and blossoms into the sudden reality of our own real lives. I have but one question:who forced the Seeress to take her own life?I am still consumed with admiration, If I could write as well. I would be happier than any young author.Eileen and Darion create a powerful and gripping tale of love and betrayal that is irresistable to any reader. Ms Wurts, you have my admiration and congratualations on such a piece!!!!!!!

Summary: Brilliant step into the Fantastic
Review: This is a wonderful read... The lyrical quality of Janny's writing, pours visions into the mind's eye as one is reading, literally painting scenes with her fluid grasp of words... The carefully created world to which Elienne is carried away by the sorcerer is perfectly rendered, with its own political hierarchy around which the plot swivels gracefully; and there is also the beautifully conceptualized system of magic and sorcery, which adds to the strength and 'realism' of this fantasy realm.

The pages literally turn themselves!
