Dies ist der 3. Band in der Triologie "Nine Kingdoms". Kriegerin und (widerwillige) Magierin Morgan und Erzmagier Miach, jetzt mit einander verlobt, müssen herausfinden, warum die schützenden Sprüche an den Grenzen von Neroche versagen. Dafür müssen sie nicht nur magische Texte durchsuchen (nicht immer mit Billigung der Eigentümer), sondern auch Morgans Vergangenheit aufarbeiten - und dies noch bevor der böse Magier Lothar mit seiner Armee das Königreich Neroche überrennt. Das Buch ist, wie die beiden Bände davor, eine Kombination aus Fantasy und Romance, allerdings tritt hier die Abenteuerhandlung mehr in den Vordergrund. Die Hauptpersonen sind gut geschildert, die Liebesgeschichte ist glaubhaft und das Abenteuer ist spannend und mit viel Humor geschrieben. Ein paar kleinere logische und charaktertechnische Probleme (würde dieser Charakter wirklich so handeln?) stören den Lesespass nur wenig. Für mich war es alles in allem eine toller Sommerlektüre.
Möchte mich meiner Vorschreiberin anschließen. Zu der Geschichte passt auch die sehr süße und unschuldige Liebesgeschichte. Zwei zutiefst sympathische Charaktere, auch mit teils etwas dunklerer Vergangenheit, finden zu einander und müssen gefährliche Abenteuer bestehen, ich konne die 3 Bücher kaum aus der Hand legen! Super-schöne Sommerlektüre.
Morgan and her fiancee Miach, the Archmage of Neroche set out to find a way to cap a well of evil.
In tow they've got their loving, but sometimes annoying, relatives and friends.
Miach is notorious as a thief of other wizard's spells and the mages are generally stingy in sharing knowledge and spells, so Morgan and Miach have to steal the knowledge they need. But how will they be able to breach the defence of a keep filled with mages?
Plus: a very sweet romance, a magical world filled with amazing spells and creatures.
Minus: the heroes seem very unprofessional and ineffectual. Miach and Morgan are hunted and haunted by a number of enemies - some of whom they actually defeated in battle before and then simply set free. It seems exceedingly foolish simply to set your enemies and known criminals loose to stab you in the back again. That's what prisons are for - it would not be neccessary for the heroes to kill them and stain their souls. Or alternatively in a world with so much magic dangerous criminals could instead be magically contained or drained of magic to negate their threat as Droch demonstrated.
Morgan was described as a professional and dedicated soldier and swordwoman in the first book. Yet though she is frequently waving about her sword and knives, when push comes to shove she mostly ends up as the damsel in distress who needs to be protected and rescued by her menfolk.
I do not object to women incapable of taking care of themselves and with no interest in learning being protected by their men. But I dislike the message this book sends - even if a woman has spent her life learning to fight she is still less capable than the men.
