I just couldn't wait to get a hold of book two! I read it from cover to cover without putting it down, and then cried my eyes out. Once again Ms. Harris has outdone herself, and left me feeling fulfilled but wanting more.

This review is from: CHILDREN OF THE WIND (Seven Citadels Part 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

English is not my naitive tongue, so you've got to excuse me for my bad english.

Tabrega, it's nice to know that someone from Korea other than myself loved this series,too.
You know it has been translated twice in Korea, ealry 90s and a year ago(2001). When I first encountered the series, I was a college student,quite an adult, but, I cried my eyes out because the story was so beautiful and well written, you could feel the pain of the characters as if it were your own.

This time I'll try English version, but, sadly it seems very difficult to get a copy.

It's a pity the Seven Citadels books haven't done better in the U.S. (I understand they do well in the U.K.). Perhaps they should have been released as one novel; certainly, understanding what's going on is easier having read all four...which took me years to acquire through used bookstores.

Harris writes a fantasy quest...but it's a quest with well-drawn characters and cultures, and avoids the all-too-common "stableboy discovers he's the heir and must go on a quest for items X, Y and Z to save thw world" epic theme that's been abused by countless authors (no names named).

It's about Kerish-lo-Taan, spoiled Prince of the Godborn who must come into his own strengths and acknowledge his weaknesses; his brother Forollkin, a soldier, who must accept his brother's strengths; the fate of Galkis, their homeland lying besieged by corruption within and invaders without. If you can find the books, read them. It's worth your time.
