Just finished reading this and Beneath Quentaris and didn't have a problem with reading them in the wrong chronological order. The characters of Tal (street-smart urchin come musician)and Nisha (tavern helper come fire magician) are likeable. It reads like a condensed version of most adult fantasy novels and I never felt burdened with long complex character/plot developments. From the first page, the characters and the adventure just "gets on with it". It's got elves, magicians, elementals, rifts into other worlds. A great entree read for "tweens" who may then go on to break their teeth on adult fantasy fiction.

I've only just started on Quentaris Chronicles - so to other reviewers, please feel free to correct me:
1. Quentaris is a magical city and nearby are rift caves that lead to other worlds.
2. One Quentaris, many authors
3. At least 11 titles in the Quentaris Chronicles series
4. Each author create their own book/characters that revolve around Quentaris.
5. Tal and Nisha, who feature in this book are found in Quentaris in Flames (2003), Beneath Quentaris (2003) and Stars of Quentaris (2006)
