Anna Marshal is regent of the kingdom of Defalk only a few months after a sorcerer pulled her from her boring life as a music teacher in Ames, Iowa, to the world of Erde.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"[T]his is an agreeable and worthwhile addition." ( Kirkus

Only just this side of Genocide

The story kicks along as Sorceress Anna goes on a Road trip. While she doesn’t like doing it she fries scores of opposing armsmen to ash & burns a few towns. The utter finality of the destruction is immense. Usually in war, some people live. I might try one more installment to see if the scale of devastation slacks off or not. I like the rebuilding & hope to see more bridges & fewer charred corpses. I could also stand to have mucous be less of a feature.

Narration: Again, a quality narration.

Great story

I love the story and world. The main character is a bit whinny and swears sometimes but the plot more than makes up for it.

Storyline pretty much as expected.

No real surprises here, then again, it would be pretty severe plot manipulation for it to have gone any other way. Obviously awaiting the next book, The young, evil sorcerer in brown still needs killin'.

Another Fantastic Modesitt Novel

I have come to expect great stories from this amazing author. He has never let me down. His ability to draw you into his worlds is extraordinary. Thank the Lord for authors like this.

loved every minute

I've loved every minute of the "Spell Song War"
I am going right on to the next book in this series!

Best Books Ever!!!

I Love these books, they are My Favorite Ever! I've listened to them several times and have Read them Multiple times as well.

I've loved this series ever since high school.

This was amazing! Fantasy with realistic feminist values!! I loved every minute of it!! I'm glad I actually have had a chance to finish this book!! Cause I started it I middle school and now 20 years later I love it for far deeper reasons.

Just too long to get to the finish line

Storyline was good, alot of repetition of the sorcerer’s complaints…it got old and made the story drag.

Devastate to be kind

This book shows how hard it is to make good decisions, and the sacrifice required for a great leader, and how you have to sometimes devastate in order to be kind. Great book, and things to be learned.

Great character development. Different system of magic.

Enjoyable listen but a different system of magic with a strong female presence. Overall a very good story with great and consistent character development.
