Review: Magic!
Rating: 5 out of 5

Clearly, this is only a prequel: the story is extremely abbreviated. However, the *implied* story is so much present between the lines, and so intriguing, that I decided to make it five stars from my rating of 4.5. Burke writes outstandingly well. This introduction toTredan's Banecontains one of the finest magical combat scenes I have read in some forty years of reading fantasy. Having read the prequel I am left with the impression that Lita Burke has worked out this fantasy world in depth; that she tells a story very well indeed; and that I really want to read the full story!Disclosure: I received a free review copy of this book for a honest and objective, non-reciprocal review.
