    A Magical Sea Shanty

    'There were some days that deserved to be drowned at birth and everyone sent back to bed with a brandy' what a great first line of an intriguing story. I was hooked! The Cipher is somewhere between a victorian romance and a Mercedes Lackey fantasy. It's a seaside adventure in a magical world. The characters in this books are great. Lucy Trenton,an officious customs officer has a hidden talent, is brave idealistic and has a 'smart' mouth, Captain Marten Thorpe is a rather dubious 'human' hero with a weakness for gambling. Keros, an unlicensed majicar with a mysterious past.And of course, the bad guys! Marten's older brother and the mysterious stranger who has haunted Lucy from childhood are truly evil. The plot follows Lucy from personal danger to the imprisonment of her family to devastation of a whole kingdom! very exciting a great literary escape. I am hoping for a sequel .. Lucy must save her family from the cruelties of the slavery in the Jutras empire 'more bad guys' I want to learn more about this world!

    intriguing fantasy

    As a member of the royal family Lucy Trenton hides her skill from her relatives in order to remain safe. Besides the scandal that would devastate the Rampling even if she is so distant from the throne that she should not matter and the connection seems nebulous she fears she would be a pawn if anyone learned she can detect magical artifacts and mages.----------- Occasionally she errs by using her talent to locate missing magical items, but normally recovers fast enough to conceal what she did. When she finds the missing Cipher, however this time she cannot cover up her activity that may lead to a magical disaster for the royals, the kingdom, and at a minimum her. She must hide the Cipher and herself with her only hope being the assistance of her current suitor, Marten Thorpe, but Lucy does not trust this ship captain as she assumes he has an agenda and if he learns what she harbors he will betray her yet she desperately turns to him.----------------- Lucy as a woman in peril turns this intriguing fantasy into a delightful read. She mentally beats herself up for her error in judgment as she has spent her life hiding her skills to avoid being the center of a scandal. She knows she might become the Butterfly of Chaos Theory. The romance between her and the grumpy Trenton is atypical as his wooing techniques fail, but his seafaring skills make him her only hope to weather the storm and prevent it from turning into a tsunami. Genre fans will enjoy Diana Pharaoh Francis¿ fine character driven saga as Lucy learns any ¿Path¿ she chooses is at best personally disastrous.------------ Harriet Klausner

    Not that great

    I was really dissapointed in this book. When I first started reading it I was quickly interested by the story. However, I felt like the male character (the love interest) was way too flawed and weak. I like my characters to be human with real issues but this guy needed some serious counselling for his gambling problems alone. And the main character (the female) came acrossed as overly dramatic and weak to me also. The ending I really enjoyed but thru most of the book I was annoyed with both the main characters for their weaknesses. I keep most of my books but this is one I won't mind giving away. If you want an EXCELLENT fantasy book read the ones I've recommended. FANTASTIC!

    Interesting twists...

    Starts slow but builds and is not predictable for a path that weaves and comes back around to grab you.
