5.0 out of 5 stars My favourite fantasy book, March 8, 2006

This review is from: Slaves of the Mastery (Wind on Fire, Bk. II) (Paperback)

This is definately the best book of the trilogy. It exceeds book one (which was great because it was really original) by far because of its gripping story!

Kestrel, Bowman and Mumpo are now older; their problems, it seems, more "realistic": Their hometown Aramanth, now by far a kinder place, is brutally destroyed by soldiers of the Mastery. All the inhabitants are either killed or taken with them as slaves. Only Kestrel is left behind - determined to find and save her family and people. But what she ultimately wants creeps upon her ever more: revenge!

While Bowman works his way all the way up to General Ortiz of the Mastery, he learns the secret magic of the singer people and falls in love with the Johdila, an eternally beautiful princess promised to Ortiz. The princess is on her way to the Mastery to be married as a treaty.
The wagon trail picks up Kestrel in the sandy desert half dead. Kestrel and the princess become close friends.
She meets Bowman but mustn't reveal that she is his sister. And cruel General Ortiz falls in love with her, not the Johdila...

The book is incredibly exciting from the beginning to the end. The story is very very good.
It makes you a slave: you just cannot stop reading! ;)
