“Fantasy is not my genre; read this as a book-club selection. I can't say that this novel of a magician's challenge won me over, but I did find the descriptive language engaging. ”

“First off - I really wish that I had starting paying attention to the dates much earlier in the book. I was lost for a while before I figured out that the story was jumping around in time.

That, however, didn't keep me from absolutely loving this story. What an amazing love story!! Nuanced and complicated, doled out bit by bit - perfect!!”

“Could not finish this book. So many books ... so little time.”

• Rated 3 stars

“The love story sounded REALLY intriguing in the summary and I couldn't wait to read it. However, the love story didn't really begin until halfway through the book. I enjoyed reading it; the chapters were short and to the point. There was mystery and lost of flashbacks. However, there is a lot of descriptive words about pretty much everything and after awhile it got tedious to read. And the ending was kind of a let down, but overall, not a bad read. ”
