5.0 out of 5 stars Good book for Witch World fans, November 25, 2003

By A Customer

I almost didn't get this because of a bad review and rating on Amazon.com, but this is really a good book. It is in the spirit of the other Witch World books, and it had an interesting new viewpoint, focusing on a young baron from Alizon (who almost seems human, in spite of the strange culture he lives in). It is very readable, and kept me interested the whole way: I sat down to read it the day I got it in the mail, and couldn't quit until I finished it about 1 AM. This is probably not the first Witch World book to read (you might have trouble figuring out the context), but it explains some events referred to in Warding of the Witch World. If you are a Witch World fan, you shouldn't hesitate to get this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Below the standard, June 22, 2001

A Kid's Review

i have read many of Nortons books, and myself own about 20. I have loved almost all of them, and never before have i encountered one that i disliked this much. I found that i could barely finish it, which is odd for me with ANY book. I would just like to warn prospective buyers to stick to Nortons other books, most of which rate four stars or higher, but just borrow this book from the library.
