Summary: A style/subject mismatch.
Review: This was the first of Lisle's books that I've read, and I was fairly pleased with it. Character development was good, both for the main and supporting characters. Descriptions were vivid, allowing the reader to readily imagine the scenes depicted. One of the more interesting aspects of this book is the illustration of the point that different groups will write different histories of the same events, a fact sometimes forgotten by writers in this genre. This becomes a major issue as the story progresses, and once what actually happens is determined, action can be taken. Overall, not the best book I've read, but worth checking out.

Summary: Wild!
Review: With all twists and turns, Holly Lisle, writes another trilogy which i found most exciting. The whole book keeps you asking questions until it builds up upon the real villian. Faia (main charcter) is a simple shepherd girl with wild magic coursing through her veins, but when plague strikes her home town and she returns to find everything and everyone she ever loved dead...
Well lets just say its not pretty. Struck down with despair Faia finds only one other survivor of her home town and together they go off to find a better life. But that doesn't happen for the mages and sajes of Ariss have tracked her down. Faia is forced to return with the mages to Ariss where the magic that runs through her blood can be controlled. However Faia doesn't find it easy in her new home, espeacially when murders have been taking place and it could result in war between the two cities of Ariss: Mage Ariss and Saje Ariss. Its all very exciting and very suspense full and definetly full of suprises. I defintely recomend this book to any fans of "The Secret Texts" trilogy and other readers who enjoy female heroines for a change!

Summary: WOW! WHAT A BOOK!
Review: Wow! One of my favorite books ever! Holly Lisle really had me hanging on her every word. Unfortunetly I'm a very fast reader and so I finished much to soon. Fire in the Mist is the first book in a trilogy, and I think that this was the best one, although the others were good too, this one was GREAT!
