More About This Book

Overview

A masterwork of fantasy from the author of Feast of Souls...

Kamala, a peasant woman, has claimed the powerful sorcery of the Magisters as her own-the ability to draw on the power of the human soul without dying for it. But in her rise to power she finds herself hunted by the brotherhood, and flees to a land where spells are warped by a fatal curse. A land that even Magisters fear...

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

Friedman delivers a rushed second installment of the Magister Trilogy (after 2008's Feast of Souls), set in a casually grim world where cloak-and-dagger political intrigue is necessary for survival. Kamala, witch turned immortal Magister, flees north to the barrier called the Wrath of the Gods in a desperate attempt to uncover the truth about how the mysterious Souleaters were once defeated. What she learns soon leads her to a dire prophecy that paves the way to war. Heroes and villains (if such terms make sense in this morally gray world) struggle with difficult and often sinister decisions, and while strong female characters dominate, male characters remain underdeveloped. Beautifully written but too short, this volume falls victim to overly simplistic plotting, and many unresolved questions await book three. (Feb.)

Library Journal

The ancient creatures known as Souleaters have returned to threaten the tenuous civilizations that have grown up since the last great war that nearly destroyed the witches who powered magic with their own life energy and enabled the rise of the Magisters. The author of the "Coldfire" trilogy (e.g., Black Sun Rising) offers moments of both beauty and horror and characters who find themselves questioning their deepest beliefs. A strong addition to most fantasy collections.

    Good story line - try it out!

    Pretty good .... I wanted to give it a 3.5 but ... no half stars can be used. Nicely written story. Good characters. Different take on magic.

    Not what you would expect from the first book

    The shift of the perspective is amazing. The first book concentrated on the adventures of Kamala with some background information on world around her. This book has increased the scope to the goings on in a much wider range, and Kamala is just a minor character. I would say that it almost a book that prepares reader to the adventures of the next book, but because so many new (and old but seen in a new light) characters needed to be introduced the whole book is not what you would call an adventure book. My rating might have been a little high but that's because there is some spill from the first book, and because there is an expectation of the next book which could be great.

    I found the second book in the Magister Series to be even better than the first one.

    Some of the plot twists introduced with the first novel are finally beginning to unravel. But not enough that you know what is going to happen. The writing is strong and so are the characters. The story draws you in from the very first page, and leaves you wanting more all the way through to the end. I am glad I decided to pick up this series and look forward to the conclusion.

    enjoyable quest fantasy

    Kamala the witch understood the use of spells by females drained them with each deployment of their life essence until they died. However, instead of death, she changes into an immortal Magister in spite of no record of a female ever being such. She worries that the Souleaters with their wasting disease have returned in full force.

    Kamala knows they were defeated once before, but has no idea how. She desperately rushes off to the only place where the needed information may exist, the northern barrier, the Wrath of the Gods, to learn the truth though she has little hope of finding anything useful. However, she learns much more than she wanted to know; returning with a dreadful prophecy that can only mean war with little chance of victory for her side.
    ---
    Book Two of the Magister Trilogy (see FEAST OF SOULS) is an enjoyable quest fantasy, but also suffers from the middle book syndrome as no major thread is closed out, but instead left dangling for the final tale. Still, C.S. Freidman¿s paints a grim world with a differing morality as most magic practitioners, especially females, pay the price for using enchantments with their lives. This over time suicidal tendency that life is expendable sets the tone in which what appears malevolent to readers is the norm in this society in which there are no heroes or villains (except perhaps the anomaly Kamala) only opponents as survival of the fittest actually is survival of the amoral shrewdest.
