The Witch Queen and Witch's Honor are the same book!, July 24, 2005
Buyer beware; The Witch Queen and Witch's Honor are the same book with different titles. In all the ending was such a let down for a trilogy with such potential that you most assuredly woouldn't want to read it twice, much less buy it twice!

The Culmination of a Fantastic Trilogy, October 2, 2006
Don't let the previous reviewer dissuade you from reading this wonderful trilogy. That reviewer did offer a good tip: if you're trying to locate the final book in the series, The Witch Queen, this is it - but I urge you to read the series in order, beginning with Prospero's Children, and then the second book, The Dragon Charmer, before reading this one. I disagree that the ending was a "let down"; this series is unconventional and if you appreciate unique plotting and suspense, you'll enjoy it.
This series has reminded me of all that I've always loved about fantasy: timeless themes, life-and death struggles between good and evil, and heroic characters with unique Gifts. The author has a wonderful talent for description and for transporting you to other worlds. The characters are likeable and interesting without being sentimental. And the high-stakes suspense is as good or better than the mysteries I've read.
This is the first time I've bothered to write one of these reviews, but I I thought that this little-known trilogy deserved a boost and should be defended after the misleading review it's received. Give the series a try!

Fascinating end to a wonderful trilogy, June 16, 2008
I read Prospero's children and got bound by the magic woven by the author. When I read the reviews that said that the third book was a let down, I felt compelled to add my two cents. In short, there was no other way the book could have ended and also kept the magic intact. It is different and is definitely not a comfortable-mass-paper-back-ending. It leaves a taste - as a wine connoisseur might attempt to describe - of intrigue, the fullness of a life time, of light from the setting sun casting a cloak of warmth on the vines, giving it a taste to remember. I would highly recommend it!
