Resumen del Editor

Laying hands upon the injured and dying, Avry of Kazan absorbs their wounds and diseases into herself. But rather than being honored for her skills, she is hunted. Healers like Avry are accused of spreading the plague that has decimated the Fifteen Realms, leaving the survivors in a state of chaos.

Stressed and tired from hiding, Avry is abducted by a band of rogues who, shockingly, value her gift above the golden bounty offered for her capture. Their leader, an enigmatic captor-protector with powers of his own, is unequivocal in his demands: Avry must heal a plague-stricken prince—leader of a campaign against her people. As they traverse the daunting Nine Mountains, beset by mercenaries and magical dangers, Avry must decide who is worth healing and what is worth dying for. Because the price of peace may well be her life….

Worth the read

While I liked Maria V. Snyder's Study and Glass series more, I still would read this one again. The characters are just as well written and the story line follows a similar pattern but is different enough to be its own. I was thinking this was a follow-up of the Study and Glass series, but there is not any crossover of characters which was my only disappointment. Plus this book has the same great narrator Gabra Zackman as the first Study series. She really does a good job. Can’t wait for the next book!

Great Read

I loved the world that was created with this book. Good sexual tension but not much sex. Kind of nice to have a slow build in the book. Overall good book.

Judgment without reason but based on GREED. Desperation leads to what?

I love this new ,to me, series.. Another strong woman telling herstory.! Great characters and Gabra Zackman's reading made this a new favorite for me. Nature is dual / duel.

Love this new fantasy world!

What other book might you compare Touch of Power to and why?

Poisen Study also by Maria V. Snyder. There are many similarities and differences. It's been a while since I read PS though and this book reminded me why I loved it. The powerful female heros, the love interests that sneak up behind me, and force me to love them, the loyal friends, it's a combination made of gold. But this brand new world of healers has so many surprises. Since I first began reading I've not been able the shut up about it to all my friends.

Fantastic Audiobook & Great Story!

"Touch of Power" is a wildly Enthralling Fantasy with a wickedly dark sense of humor & heart stoppingly suspenseful plot twists! B-)

If you like Maria Snyder

Touch of Power is similar to Maria's other books.

I find them entertaining, but the "heroine"s are a little too insecure and one dimensional in my opinion. I keep reading her books though because I love Maria's take on magic and the world's she creates.

I think she should just spend a little more time developing her characters a little more and make them less predictable, otherwise I feel like I'm reading a teen novel.

A fan of Maria V Snyders work.

Enjoyed this series. If you have as well, then don't miss Yelena in Poison Study!
I also enjoyed INSIDE OUT, and OUTSIDE IN.

As always Gabra Zackman was awesome an the story l

Could not put the story down kept !e wanting more. Reached the end and stop
wanted more. Waiting for the next one.

Another Winner
