I have been reading Witch World since the series began these many years ago. It is always a tragedy when such a heart place dies with its dreamer and Andre Norton was so generous and careful when she shared her vision.
Lyn McConchie is the best of those who continued Witch Worlds stories. Ciaara's Song is one both of Home and future. Well worth the read. Not rip roaring sword and Sorcery, but that wasn't Norton anyway. This is bravery and people and decency.
I'll read anything with Lyns name on it knowing she is true to Andre's vision.

Great story
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2021
Great plot, great Characters, but that is what I've come to expect from Andre Norton. Good to read about a country in the Witch World Series that isn't written about much.

More good reading for Andre Norton fans
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2015
As always, Andre Norton's books are enjoyable even when set in a dark time in the history of her "world". Lyn McConchie helps keep up the tradition of strong female characters and this book fills in some gaps in the events leading up to the "turning".

More on the Witch World
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2016
Story is told mostly by the main character. This story also fills in some of the gaps in what happened to whom after their stories were told. There is some history then as the tales progress.

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2013
Nicely done, but I wish the author had not rushed during the middle and end, the story begins to feel more like an outline at times.

Due to excess of books to read I have not read this one yet but did skim it quickly and it looks to be up to the joint authors usual standard.
