A pleasing mix of fantasy and mystery,

This review is from: The Witches of Wenshar (Sun Wolf and Starhawk, No. 2) (Mass Market Paperback)
The sequel to Ladies of Mandrigyn, this book follows Sunwolf and Starhawk on their quest to find a mage to teach Sun Wolf the ways of power. They arrive in Wenshar, where they find a self-taught mage named Kaletha. But Kaletha's methods do not agree with Sun Wolf. They also quickly find that wizards are not welcome in pious Wenshar, where memories of the long-dead and wicked Witches of Wenshar are still fresh. And soon after they arrive, grusome murders begin, murders that Sun Wolf is sure were done by magical means most foul. But who is responsible? And how does Kaletha derive her power when she has had no formal training? Can Sun Wolf and Starhawk figure out the cuplrit(s) before they are the next target for murder while staying out of Wenshar politics?This is the premise of this book, which is a worthy "next chapter" in the Sun Wolf trilogy. I found this book to be slightly below the Ladies of Mandrigyn in its ability to grip and hold the reader's attention, but still a great read. Hambley is an accomplished writer of both fantasy and mystery, and she combines both those skills well in producing this book. Although the some of the characters are a little too wooden (the King couldn't possibly be falling-down drunk all the time and still run his country) and some of the plot details a little hard to believe, I did enjoy this book, and fans of both fantasy and mystery ought to find this a good read. You won't be disappointed.

Witches of Wenshar,
By A Customer
This review is from: Witches of Wenshar (Paperback)
Mandrigyn had been left far behind. Sun Wolf had tangled with magic, and now he had to live with the consequences of that folly. With only Starhawk at his side, he began searching for, of all things, a wizard of his own... one to help solve his present problems. When the search brought them to Wenshar, he and the Hawk hoped to remain aloof from its stormy politics -- especially since the Lady Kaletha, a self proclaimed wizard with a strong following, stood at the eye of the storm. But then someone was brutally murdered by magic, and the two found themselves forced to step in and find the killer...If you liked Ladies of Mandrigyn, then you'll love The Witches of Wenshar and the continuing adventures of Sun Wolf and Star Hawk.

Wizard vs. Witch vs. Evil Spirits in the Night,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Witches of Wenshar: The Sun Wolf and Starhawk Series (Book Two) (Kindle Edition)
amazon.com/gp/product/B004TC154A/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_imgAgainst all odds, Sun Wolf won his previous fight--but only by becoming a wizard himself, though he has always been taught to hate and fear wizards. Now he is staggering around the known world, a place similar to the Mediterranean coast in the Bronze Age, trying to find somebody who will teach him to be a good wizard. He knows he can never go back to being the leader of a troop of mercenaries, nor would Star Hawk follow him into that life again. Into a word similar to the pre-Muslim Arabic world he stumbles, only to find himself faced with a culture in which many of the women are witches of a very special, and very unsavory, kind. What is he going to do now? What is Star Hawk going to do? Read and find out.
