The final book of the Tredana trilogy has very little to do with Tredana or the other cities and places of the first two books. She bring back most of the same characters, killing off many without even a look backwards, and then embarks on this new world that just seems telling of the story of Tamerlane and the peoples of the Central Asian Steppes. A few bitd of magic tossed in here and there and a meandering and rather senseless plot line and it was overall a very unenjoyable read. So sad she decided this was the way to conclude the series that started so brilliantly in The Broken Citadel, I wish that had been the only book.… (mer)

This was probably my first reread of this since the 70s. It was not as strong as The Broken Citadel, the plot line was less coherent and the focus on Sibyl shows up the less interesting parts of her character. It was still wonderful to be swept up into this other world but it didn't draw me in as effectively as The Broken Citadel. I still find it a great read but I am approaching the final book of the series with a bit of trepidation.

I adored this little known book as a child/teen and it was just as wonderful on a reread. The world she creates is rich and full of magic and culture and feels like a place I can see and inhabit. It does have one of my favorite types of fantasy style, person from our world finds her way into the other world but with some wonderful twists and turns. I read this and it's followup book when they came out but never managed the third book in the series that came out so much later. I'm reading all three together now to fully savour how much I love them.… (mer)
