1) Rating: 4 out of 5 stars2) Genre: Fantasy3) Synopsis: In the time before the Confessors, when the world is a dark and dangerous place, where treason and treachery are the rule of the day, comes one heroic woman, Magda Searus, who has just lost her husband and her way in life.4) Feelings: This is a prequel to the "Sword of Truth" series, which I must say I love. I even loved the TV show "Legend of the Seeker". As you can tell, I am a big fan so I was excited to read this book when it came out. Is this book as good as the "Sword of truth" series? It isn't that good but it is still fun. Not only is it fun there are plenty of "hat tipping" back to the original series. So much so that I really feel like I need to read it again.5) Final recommendation: This was a fun read with plenty of connection to the original series. If you haven't read the "Sword of Truth" series don't start with this book (although you probably could if you wanted too). If you are a fan of the series pickup this book today and read it. But be prepared to want to read the original series again.Ryan James BurtHusband, Father, and Writer[...]
