Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Schaub is credited as author of the two long tales (comprising more than 370 of the 384 pages) that, framed by a short introduction and afterword, make up this sequel to Storms of Victory, co-written by Nebula Grandmaster Norton and Griffin. In "Exile," the inhabitants of Witch World continue to cope with the aftermath of the catastrophic Turning of the first book. Nolar, a young woman disfigured by a facial birthmark and cast out of her family, is tutored by a brilliant scholar and comes late to her psychic powers. She and Duratan, one of the Witches nearly destroyed during the earlier Turning, search for a healing power and uncover traces of an ancient evil about to be set loose again. The second offering, "Falcon Hope," takes up the tale of Holdlady Una of Seakeep and the mercenary leader, Tarlach the Falconer, who seeks a new start for his people and their avian bond-mates, wandering homeless for many years and threatened with extinction. This addition to the new Witch World series surpasses its acclaimed predecessor; engaging protagonists, vivid writing and thoughtful development offer excellent entertainment.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Turning: a sub-series of Witch World, November 23, 2000

By	Nancy L. Mowers "Aariel Aston" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is the second in the mini-saga of Andre Norton's Witch World, called The Turning. It is interesting and enjoyable, with the usual evil dangers and magic. The second story in the book would be hard to really understand, though, without reading the first book before it, Storms of Victory. Fantasy readers and non-fantasy readers will enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Read for all fans of the genre!, March 9, 1998

By	KitchenSharkMama "MicahBina" (NC,, USA) - See all my reviews

These stories are well rounded and interesting. They bring new ideas and flavor to the Witch World saga. Each book set here, whether by Ms. Norton personally, or a collaboration with another, "fleshes out" the place and the times. They don't have to appeal to everyone. That is one of the refreshing strongpoints to the series. She is not afraid to see new ideas or changes to the world she has created here. Just one more reason she is who she is.
