Book Description:
Award-winning author Catherine Asaro, creator of The Skolian Empire, creates her first full-length fantasy novel in a world rich with magic and power. Fans who caught a glimpse of the kingdom of Aronsdale in "Moonglow" from the Charmed Destinies collection are delighted with the result!
What was the use of being a powerful mage if you couldn't learn the spells?
Once Chime had been the most promising mage in the land, feted and celebrated for her potential and future role in the kingdom. The Iris, he young competitor, made a stunning leap in skill and turned Chime's world upside down.
Now no longer the most powerful, no longer promised to a prince -- and still unable to harness her magic properly -- Chime was set adrift. As was the new king's cousin -- and former heir -- Lord Muller. Yet when the neighboring kingdom threatened war, Muller and Chime were tasked with uncovering the plot. Both were flawed, yet unwilling to accept a lesser destiny than they had once known. Could this quest be the opportunity for redemption -- or would it lead them to their deaths?

I really enjoyed this! It's a light and easy read, the characters are fun, and the action moves along nicely without any lags. It was also just what I was in the mood for! I've heard Asaro's sci-fi novels referred to as "space operas" and she certainly was able to juggle the four main characters here.
This is a very entertaining story which could be enjoyed by both adult and young adult readers. I will definitely be looking for the next book in the series!

This is a good book for anyone who likes fantasy with a dose of romance. There is an earlier short story in the anthology Charmed Destinies that I think help explains a lot about some characters.

I enjoyed this. It is a continuation of a short story that she wrote in a book called Charmed Destinies. A cute love story and an easy read.

The story was interesting but really too long. I kept skipping over a lot of pages since I just seemed to be the same thing over and over. I was OK but not great. Of course others may like it better.

The physics behind this book's magic is supposed to be brilliant. A very clever and charming tale even if you could care less abou science.

THIS BOOK IS A GREAT FANTASY BOOK. READ IT IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING LESS REAL.

It was a fun read. Magic comes from shapes, and the lower your color on the rainbow, the stronger the magician. I liked how it ended.
