Kurzbeschreibung

April 1998
In the grand epic tradition of Robin McKinley and Patricia McKillip, here's an enchanting and thrilling tale of a young boy whose destiny is to find a legendary magic stone and heal the rift between two worlds.

Long ago, when the worlds of Mindpower and Handpower existed as one, Bron's family was rich and mighty; they were the keepers of the Stone -- the most forceful, sacred, coveted object in the world. But the Stone was stolen by an evil warrior who used it to conquer the world of Mindpower. As young Bron grows to manhood, it is clear that he is the legendary One Who Comes whose fate it is to restore harmony between the worlds.

5.0 von 5 Sternen Don't miss this instant classic. 20. Mai 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
Victoria Strauss burst on the scene with this absolutely fantastic novel. The novel is based in a society that is terrified of "Hand Power," meaning that technological advances are heretical offenses. "Mind Power" is where the young are taught the ways of life. It's the story of one man who fights against the powerful religious zealots who rule his world, rising through their ranks and leaning their secrets.

An absolutely fabulous read. I could not put the book down and await any further work from Victoria Strauss. Don't miss it.

5.0 von 5 Sternen Orignal and Entertaining 14. Mai 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
I picked up this book during a lull in my reading, most of the authors I like had not brought their latest books to market, and I was looking for something new to read. It's always scary trying a new author, after 20-30 pages you can usually tell whether you've wasted your money, or whether you've discovered something great--many times you've wasted your money. This was not one of those times.

This book captures your attention and takes you on a thought-provoking ride. I agree with the other reviewers who noted characterization as a strength. Bron changes dramatically over the course of the book. I also felt that the pacing of the book was a strength--I lost the perception that I was reading and got caught up in the story.

This is so different from a standard "fantasy" book. Strauss has given us a fully-formed original world that is worth experiencing.

4.0 von 5 Sternen Couldn't put it down 17. April 2000
Von Colleen
Format:Taschenbuch
A very fine and well-written book, the kind you stick your nose into and don't come out until you've finished it. This was my first time with this author and I was not disappointed at all. Her characters are well-developed and she weaves a solid, steadily moving plot without any flat places. Four stars instead of five because as the story went on, she changes her mind about who the main character is striving against and skips over the explanation rather lightly.
