Summary: Will the magic in blood and sacrifice consume Calindor?
Review: It has been 2 years since the events in GREENMAGIC. Calindor and his wife Callishandal are exploring both the sea and the southern lands when suddenly Calindor collapses under the shock of a great magic. It turns out to have been caused by a small girl called Deir in a village which is in the process of being conquered by the southern empire of the Exteca.

The Exteca are the possessors to two fearsome magics, spells of love and terror which they have used to conquer a large empire to support the sacrifices that their gods require for their redmagic (blood magic). Calindor is unable to find an easy resistance to this magic and in desperation he learns some of the horrors inherent in the bloodmagic so he can try and defend his people when the Exteca come north to his homeland as they inevitably will. Deir returns to Cantera with Calindor but she has forgotten any magic she ever knew even though she is an even greater magician than Calindor.

This is a well written sequel that can be read alone, but you will get the best out of the book if you have read the previous title GREENMAGIC. Peopled with characters you will like this story holds many of its great surprises close to its end, and once again reveals world shaking changes for a number of people. An entertaining and enjoyable fantasy.

Review: Overall the book was slow starting, however after the first chapter the book then became interesting with a climatic end. Would recommend to novice fantasy readers.

Summary: Enjoy
Review: Recomended to me by my brother, I had no pre-conceived notion about what this book would be like. Agreed, it has somewhat of a slow beginning, STICK WITH IT! It is an amazing book, and I guarantee that it will be a favorite of most fantasy readers. Though I didn't do this, I would also recomend reading Greenmagic before this. It's much better in the right order.
