Title: A spectacular entry
Review: Constable has made a fully realized fantasy world. Tremaris spans a globe, and is home to many types of people, all wonderfully diverse and vividly described. She does the same for her settings: lush descriptions and clever figurative language spare no color on this world. It's a beautiful place.Calwyn is a wonderful heroine: idealistic, strong-willed, yet she knows of her own weaknesses at times. I had a brilliant time imagining her voice as she sang (Personally, I am a Japanese-pop music fan, and the opening theme of Record of Lodoss War became a sort of anthem in my head for Calwyn's voice). I really do recommend busting out your foreign language tracks (OH what a candidate for a book with a soundtrack!)The supporting cast is well fleshed out with physically and emotionally differing characters, as well. From Darrow to Mica, everyone is their own.Anyone who is a fan of fantasy should read this book. It will leave you impatient for the next in the trilogy.
