DESCRIPTION:
A great read! WHAT IT'S ABOUTVatar risked his life to try to save his friend--and failed.Now he has an implacable enemy in the vengeful shaman, who blames Vatar for the death of his only son. In his isolation, Vatar finds some comfort in daydreams. He knows the strange girl he sometimes imagines is just that--a dream. She’d better be.Because, if she’s real things could get even worse for Vatar. The accepted magic of Vatar&rsq. WJR said Very surprised. I downloaded this book with Amazon unlimited thinking I would read it one of many flights. For some reason I didn't open it for a few weeks until yesterday. I spent Sunday reading and enjoying the book and was surprised by how much I enjoyed the book. The book follows the often seen (young hero, unique history, unique power, denial, acceptance, success) formula but is unique. The young hero is smarter than most, makes human. Great read I really enjoyed this book. After I finished it naturally I went to the author's blog to find out if the next one was coming out sooner than indicated at the back of the book. I think I'm a little too early to hope. But I did appreciate the extra at the end.I liked the main character. The book was a decently long read for me (I read fast!), well paced and it actually felt fleshed out. Vatar is just becoming a man in the eye
Because if she's real, things could get even worse for Vatar. She'd better be. In his isolation, Vatar finds some comfort in daydreams. Now he has an implacable enemy in the vengeful shaman, who blames Vatar for the death of his only son. The accepted magic of Vatar's plains tribe wouldn't enable him to see or communicate with a girl he doesn't even know - or know where to find. Very bad. The two kinds of magic have always been totally separate. If the shaman ever found out, it could be the weapon he needs to destroy Vatar. And yet, finding a way to accept the other side of his heritage may be the only way Vatar can ultimately defeat his enemy. He knows the strange girl he sometimes imagines is just that - a dream. Unlike their own, Vatar's people think the city magic is evil. And that's bad. Vatar risked his life to try to save his friend - and failed. Until now.. That would be more like the magic passed down in certain, closely-guarded bloodlines among the ruling class of the coastal cities
