Gayle Friesen's previous novels Janey's Girl and Men of Stone have both garnered critical praise. She lives in Delta, British Columbia. Margaret Buffie is an award-winning author of young adult books. Her books include The Watcher and Angels Turn Their Backs. She lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
This book is in the following series:
The characters have depth and complex motivations, keeping the protagonist and readers guessing about who her true friends may be, ? this is a good choice for sophisticated fantasy readers, with a strong appeal for gaming fans looking for a darker, more complex story?
Buffie invents beautifully imagined worlds, exquisite villains, and a cast of delightfully improbable quest companions. The ending, which is tied up without being strangled, intriguingly raises as many questions as it answers.
In this sequel to The Watcher, Emma has been transported to Argadnel, an island kingdom where her changeling sister, Summer, is now the queen. An appended glossary of characters and place names will help readers keep track of the enormous cast, and early chapters explain the events from the first novel in the Watcher s Quest trilogy. Buffie s ability to keep the story moving without a lag in the action also helps this book to stand on its own. A welcome choice for fantasy buffs."
