I love the Dark Horse series, always have. Dark Horse and Lightening's Daughter were amazing. Valorian was passable, and City, well, it looked really promising. The old charachters were not true to type, and the new charachters... Hebert didn't do enough to really potray the complex charachter of Kelene, and the plot was very generic. The quality of writing also suffered. I was so disappointed with this book that I don't plan on reading Winged Magic, as Herbert seems to be groping for material and quality.

All Along I kept wondering what she had in store for the Khulinin clan after all she kept leaving spaces open in the other books to remind you of them. I loved how in this book she answered that question and also spread out into the world of the other people on the plains besides the clans. I do feel the book was a bit sketchy in places.Gabrial I thought could be a little stronger then she was and More info on the mysterious clan in the valley could have been told, but over all this was a good read.

The book is very good for non-english readers with medium level of English language. It has a thrilling plot, the language is rather easy (for camparison: I wrote down 20 words from 1 page while reading "The X-files" and 3 words from 1 page while reading this book). There aren't very many rare words (that I couldn't manage to find in my dictionary). I don't regret the time, I spend while reading this book.

I somehow stumbled onto this series and began with book three, City of the Sorcerors. I planned on reading the book again, as i do w/ most books i read. but, the book was lost, and i i could not finish, because i could not remember the titla, i recently found it and i am excited to read the entire series. :)
