Review
"Douglass holds her own as her characters deepen inventively." Kirkus Reviews
Review
"With three races, licit and illicit loves, prophecy, fraternal hatred, and enough battles for several campaigns, Douglass has whipped up enough raw material to avoid shortchanging readers throughout her vast undertaking. Moreover, she has plenty of talent, despite some new-author awkwardness; though her characterization is usually superb, the occasional persona suffers from inconsistent or inadequate motivation. Suffice it to say that no one who liked its predecessor is likely to complain about Enchanter." Booklist
Review
"Sara Douglass has the breadth of vision necessary to create sweeping epics and the storyteller's gift that makes readers love her." Locus
