3.0 out of 5 stars
A neverending story,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sword of Flame (Paperback)
Although the book is nice, it is a pity that the story has an open ending. All the books from this serie is one big story. You must read all the books before you know how it ends. I was not satisfied after each book, sure it is a good marketing strategy for the writer. You must buy every book but it is not nice for the reader! The story however is a real Furey one, nice...

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great but so unfinished!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sword of Flame (Paperback)
Loved every line of the whole set, but eveything needs tying up. And so we all sit in suspense. Please Maggie write the last one, and many more. We cannot wait to read it. Anyone with news, let us know.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Unnecessary Sequel,
By
This review is from: Sword of Flame (Paperback)
I think this book could have been condensed into one of the other sequels. Sword of Flame just made me NOT like Aurian more because she became more self-centered and EVERYTHING relied solely on her. As the book cheesily states, she is "the One". She has a strong cast of supporting companions that I'm sure could have competently taken care of their problems without her, but the author makes it so that Aurian waltzes in, fixes everything and gains adoring fans along the way. Although the author tries to make her more flawless, Aurian becomes more flawed. You can call her ambitious and wishing to fulfill her quest, but there were times I wished she would step back and take more time with her son and lover, who should've gotten more attention than her new friends! It was like once she had a new toy, she was bored with the old..even though she occasionally came back to them. Though I am aware of those not wishing fantasy books to become cheesy romance novels, the relationship she possessed with those she claimed dearest to her made it seem as if they were merely friends, like the rest of the gang. If the author was going to take a step that way, I don't see why she couldn't have made it more heartwarming. However, I did enjoy the previous two books, Aurian and Harp of Winds, and this one for its detailed descriptions (though it did get long-winded at times) although it doesn't leave me as curious to know how everything fares out, for I'm sure the One can make everything right anyway. Nevertheless, I, like many others who can't stand not to finish a story (no matter how disappointing), have hope for the last sequel, Dhiammara. Overall, the writing is definitely not bad, aside from those items I've noted, and I hope to read some more improved books from Ms. Furey.
