5.0 out of 5 stars Reveal that which has been hidden., February 25, 2001

By

This review is from: Second Sight (Circle of Three #3) (Paperback)

Cooper has been having nightmares about the kidnapping of a young girl. At first she thinks it is just a dream, but then it happens while she's wide awake and she knows who the girl is. The girl is Elizabeth Sanger and she wants Cooper to help find her. The police have a suspect but Elizabeth says it's someone else. The only problem is Elizabeth's anger at the person was so powerful that it overwhelmed cooper before she could identify him or her. So now Cooper is pulling a Nancy Drew and is almost killed when she, along with Kate and Annie, get to close. But once Cooper gets an idea about what's going on, Annie turns up missing and the only way to get her back safely is for Cooper to communicate with Elizabeth again. But Cooper's afraid that she will be overwhelmed again. Will she be able to overcome her fears in time to save Annie? This is my favorite book in the series so far; it gives you enough clues to let you figure out who did it before they tell you. I wish the fourth book were out already.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cooper's having visions, can she help?, February 20, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Second Sight (Circle of Three #3) (Paperback)

Cooper Rivers been having nightmeres. Very vivid nightmere's where she can feel, taste and smell what's going on. SHe dosen't think much of them until she starts seeing a girl whenever she looks into flames. She soon learns that this girl is Elizabeth, a 15-year-old who was kidnapped and possibly killed. She dosen't know what to do but she knows she needs to help Elizabteh before it's too late. Can Cooper use her visions for good. Or will someone use it to expose her and the circle of three.

I consider this book to be the best in the series. It's nice to see an adventure that has Cooper as the main charecter. The new charecters (such as a nosy reporter who truley is the Rita Skeeter of the series) are entertaining and I hope they come back in later in the series. I can't wait until the next book in the series, What the Cards said, comes out. It stars Annie, who is my favriote charecter.

4.0 out of 5 stars Can Cooper "reveal that which has been hidden" ?, September 2, 2001

By

This review is from: Second Sight (Circle of Three #3) (Paperback)

Cooper is turning many corners in her life. She is turning sixteen, having nightmares, learning what it means to be a part of a religion outside of the mainstream, and that with great power comes great responsibility.

In Second Sight, book three in the Circle of Three Series, author Isobel Bird cleverly blends the facts of how the Wiccan religion is practiced today, with enough fantasy to keep readers spellbound. It's a simple whodunnit with a magical twist.

Cooper can't seem to get a handle on her latest Wiccan lesson on scrying. But at the same time, she is having nightmares connected to the disappearance of a teenage girl. The visions begin to surface even while she is awake. With the help of her circle friends and her Wiccan elders at the Crones' Circle bookstore, can Cooper develop the strength and self confidence necessary to control these visions? Cooper finds that magical development doesn't come easy and sometimes with a high price attached.

Bird is providing a narrow, but accurate window into how the Craft is practiced today. These books give one of the most nonsensationalized representations of Wicca I've seen yet. Bird also accurately portrays many of the difficulties teens face when they wish to explore Wicca.

If you haven't read books one and two in this series, don't worry, this story stands alone on it's own and you will not feel too lost. But if you find the subject of Witchcraft and Wicca fascinating, you will want to read the other books in this series as well.
