Editorial Review:

Raised in the wild by intelligent, language-using wolves, in her teens Firekeeper was abducted back into the lands of men, where her upbringing as a wolf helped her survive the deadly intrigues of human beings.

One of the first things she learned in Hawk Haven was that magic was a thing to be feared and despised. Long ago, all the human kingdoms were ruled by powerful sorcerers. Then a plague came and the sorcerers died. Nobody misses them. Much was lost—but still, nobody misses them.

Yet as Firekeeper has traveled and grown wiser in the ways of human beings, she’s learned that the true story was more complex. In coming to the country of the Liglim, she, Derian Carter, and Blind Seer discovered that magic is still working in the world, and that it isn’t always the evil they’d been warned against. But it also turned out that the old plague specifically targeted magic users. And when Firekeeper and her friends learned to open the gates between worlds, the plague came back with them.

Firekeeper, Blind Seer, and Derian Carter survived the plague: not unchanged, but still themselves. Now Firekeeper is determined to learn the nature of the plague--and if she can, to end it forever. What happens next will be the culmination of the remarkable fantasy epic that began with Through Wolf’s Eyes.

A good series, but treading water in this one 3 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.

Firekeeper is back in her third adventure. The strengths of the earlier volumes, strong characters in an interesting setting, are back, but the 'been there, done that' feeling in this book is too strong to recommend it for me.

In this book, Firekeeper returns to the same place (the capital of the neighboring kingdom of New Kelvin) with pretty much the same companions, to fight the same villain as in the previous installment. Why Firekeeper and her companions are able to return safely to New Kelvin when the authorities there know that they are responsible for the death of a Kelvinese and have guessed that they stole priceless artifacts is never adequately explained, but exactly what they plan to do when they get there isn't very well explained either.

A subplot involving a new human settlement at the site of the old Bardenville settlement that Firekeeper came from has potential, but doesn't really emerge. It seems to be intended mainly to set up a villain for a future sequel.

There is some interesting exploration of the culture and politics of New Kelvin. But the characters don't advance very much at all. Overall, I found this book mostly a disappointment after enjoying Lindskold's earlier work.

Editorial Review:

Raised by smart, language-using wolves, far from humans, then brought back to the court of Hawk Haven, young Firekeeper had to learn to cope with human society. Fortunately, for one raised amidst intelligent pack animals, the intrigues of humans are neither complex nor wholly unfamiliar.

Now Melina Shield, the beautiful, unscrupulous, and thoroughly discredited sorceress whose power-hungry intrigues have already made so much trouble for Firekeeper, has once more used her power to cloud men's minds, and has induced the ruler of New Kelvin to marry her. This is bad news on a lot of fronts.

It's particularly bad news for Firekeeper. Melina hasn't abandoned her schemes to gain power through the use of forbidden ancient sorcery. And the leaders of the royal beasts who watch over this world have given Firekeeper--and her intelligent wolf companion Blind Seer--the responsibility for stopping her.

Editorial Review:

A tale of humane wolves, beastly men, and a brilliant heroine who must find her way in a dangerous world

Raised by intelligent, language-using wolves, brought back to the human society at the court of Hawk Haven, young Firekeeper had to learn to cope with human society and its complexities . . . and discovered that, for someone raised in a wolf pack, the politics of a royal court were neither complex nor wholly unfamiliar.

But the happy ending of Through Wolf's Eyes has proved to have consequences. Hawk Haven and Bright Bay are unifying, but the power balance of the neighboring lands is threatened by this prospect. New intrigues abound. The rulers of Bright Bay, it transpires, have been hoarding a collection of forbidden magical artifacts . . . which Queen Gustin took with her when she abdicated, intending to use them to restore her power. Melina Shield is still scheming to obtain them, and she's older, smarter, and more devious than the Queen. And the even-more-devious civil service of neighboring New Kelvin would like to get their hands on that magic as well . . . .

Which will make life very hard for Firekeeper. Because the powers of the world have decided who'll be required to obtain those much-contended-for magical articles. It'll be her.

A Broadening of Horizons 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

Wolf Captured (2004) is the fourth fantasy novel in the Wolf series, following The Dragon of Despair. In the previous volume, Firekeeper was called by the Dragon and arrived midway through Melinda's incantation. While the others fought those enchanted by Melinda, Firekeeper, Citrine and Grateful Peace spoke to the Dragon.

After explaining the costs of commanding the Dragon to Citrine, Grateful Peace used the Dragon's correct name and ensorcelled the beast to himself. Melinda tried to attack him and Firekeeper permanently removed her from the scene. Even Citrine didn't object to the killing. Later Grateful Peace sent the Dragon back to its original environment and adopted Citrine as his daughter.

In this novel, strangers lure Firekeeper, Blind Seer and Derian from a public dance, capture them, and take them down the river to the sea. Firekeeper frees herself from her cage and breaks the chains and cage holding Derian and Blind Seer. Then they overcome their kidnappers, but the nearest ship holds more intruders and swiftly overtakes the riverboat. The three of them have little choice other than surrender.

One of those aboard the ship is Waln Endbrook, who has no love for the threesome, and a few other Islander sailors. The ship, however, is commanded and manned by members of an unknown colony far south of Bright Haven. As the ship sails south, Firekeeper and Derian are allowed to give their parole and taught some of the language of the foreign colony by Harjeedian, an interpreter of snakes, and Barnet, a former minstrel in the Islander Navy.

When the ship reaches Liglim, Firekeeper learns about the yarimaimalom, the Wise Beasts, who are the equivalent of the Royal Beasts such as Blind Seer. Yet these intelligent animals are much more integrated into Liglimom society. They had been hunted by the Old Country masters to use as sacrifices to the Deities. But the Divine Retribution of fever and death drove out the masters and forever changed the relationships between Liglimom and yarimaimalom.

The yarimaimalom are now seen as speakers for the Deities, but the disdum who interpret for the yarimaimalom don't always understand their meanings. Since the Liglimom first learned of Firekeeper, they have sought her out to teach them to speak with the yarimaimalom. Still, Firekeeper doesn't think that she can teach them to talk to the Wise Beasts in the way that she does.

In this story, Firekeeper and Blind Seer meet Truth, a jaguar who divines the futures by swimming through the possibilities. Truth tells her of Misheemnekuru, the Sanctuary Islands, where many of the yarimaimalom live and keep watch against the return of the masters from the Old Country. Soon Firekeeper and Blind Seer are on their way to Misheemnekuru to meet the Wise wolves.

Meanwhile, Derian meets Varjuna, the chief keeper of the Horses, and exchanges tales of horses and their care. Soon he is visiting u-Bishinti, the main stables of Liglim. There he is introduced to Varjuna's family. He is also offered a ride by Eshinarvash, a Wise Horse. Derian is thorough enchanted by the experience.

Derian receives another ride by Eshinarvash to meet a jaguar and a puma who have something for him to see. Outside the main city, hidden in jungle, is a short ziggurat being used to sacrifice animals to the Deities. After witnessing these sacrifices, Derian starts a conspiracy to destroy this cult.

This story broadens Firekeeper's experiences with humans and Beasts. She also learns something about herself and about her family. She even meets someone who knew her father and mother.

Highly recommended for Lindskold fans and for anyone else who enjoys tales of intelligent animals, feral children, and magic.

Editorial Review:

Raised by sentient, language-using wolves, then later plunged back into human society, young Firekeeper has found that her training as a pack animal stands her in good stead amidst deadly political intrigues.

When Firekeeper and her Royal Wolf companion Blind Seer are kidnapped and dragged overseas, they must maneuver for their lives in an unfamiliar new society. Unlike other humans, their captors are quite aware that Royal animals like Blind Seer exist, are intelligent, and can speak to each other. They've kidnapped Firekeeper and Blind Seer because they want to learn to speak to their own Royal animals.

Increasingly, though, it appears that those Royal animals are being held in polite and unobtrusive bondage. Firekeeper wants to find out the truth -- and, if necessary, free them...

Editorial Review:

In Through Wolf’s Eyes, Jane Lindskold introduced Firekeeper, the young girl raised by intelligent, language-using wolves. Abducted back into human society, Firekeeper found that, in the world of deadly human political intrigues, her training as a pack animal served her well.

Later, in Wolf Captured, Firekeeper and her lupine companion Blind Seer found themselves kidnapped and dragged overseas, to the unfamiliar land of Liglimon, where humans have a different relationship to intelligent animals. Now, still in Liglimon, Firekeeper and Blind Seer respond to a request for assistance from Truth, the soothsayer-jaguar.

Then, while helping Truth, Firekeeper and her companion come across evidence of elaborate investigations into kinds of ancient magics taboo in Liglimoshti culture. It appears more people in Liglimon are willing to flout this taboo than anyone cares to admit, and Firekeeper and Blind Seer decide their duty is to find out more.

But Truth knows more than she's telling. She can see and trace future timelines for particular individuals, which in the past has led her into madness. Since then, the Voice that guided her out of that madness has continued to speak to her, and it's not her friend.

Eventually Truth realizes that her Voice may well be a person the Liglimoshti call "The Meddler" -- a dangerous trickster figure. But Truth doesn’t own up to this until far too late…

Compellingly told, rich with real people and real animals, WOLF HUNTING is the latest and strongest in an increasingly and rewarding sequence of fantasy epics.

Fish Out of Water To The Max!
Reviewer- Renee S. NYC July 29, 2008 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I love fish-out-of-water stories, and since this one was FREE (thank you Tor Books and Kindle), I jumped on it. If you have read
the previous reviews, you know the basic
elements of the plot, so I won't summarize
it again.
This was a very political story,sometimes too much so since I was more interested in
reading about Firekeeper's reaction to human society than in some of the machinations of that society. I think the book would have been better if the author had cut down on the number of characters - everyone doesn't have to have a voice -and fleshed out the major characters a bit more. Maybe she wanted to keep the reader confused so the outcome would be more of a surprise, but I would have liked to know more about Lord Kestral, for example, or Lady Melina for another. From what I learned, she was purely malevolent - not enough complexity for one whom I gather will be a continuing major character in future books of this series. As for Lord Kestral, his character was ambivalent, to say the least.
At one moment he was totally and selfishly
motivated by his own ambitions, and ay the next he does something he needn't for Derian, or shows an unexpected soft side to Firekeeper.Need more!
I did read this book with great pleasure, however, and am looking forward to continuing the series. (Why isn't Book 2 on Kindle?)
There were a number of unanswered questions at the end of the book, which I hope will be covered in the future.
Who told Firekeeper she HAD to live and who gave her the ability to talk to animals?
Is Blind Seer something more than a Royal Wolf? I'm thinking the Beast in Beauty and....
Firekeeper doesn't seem to be attracted to any of the human males, and I can't imagine her actually becoming a wolf any time soon.

Editorial Review:

Firekeeper only vaguely remembers a time when she didn't live with her "family," a pack of "royal wolves"-bigger, stronger, and smarter than normal wolves. Now her pack leaders are sending her back to live among the humans, as they promised her mother years ago.

Some of the humans think she may be the lost heir to their throne. This could be good-and it could be very, very dangerous. In the months to come, learning to behave like a human will turn out to be more complicated than she'd ever imagined.

But though human ways might be stranger than anything found in the forest, the infighting in the human's pack is nothing Firekeeper hasn't seen before. That, she understands just fine. She's not your standard-issue princess-and this is not your standard-issue fairy tale.

Disappointed 2 out of 5 stars.
5 of 8 people found this review helpful.

Apparently I am in the minority of disliking this book, but here my honest review of it regardless.

This book was such a disappointment to me. At first glance - the premise of the plot seems really intriguing. A 30 year old woman named Sarah lives in a Home for mentally handicapped people. (she is autistic) However, she can communicate by repeating quotes from literature. She carries with her a two-headed toy dragon that is named Betwixt and Between. Sarah has an unusual gift - she can talk with her dragon, and is able to communicate with other inanimate objects. When budgets are cut, Sarah is more or less kicked out of the Home to wonder the streets alone. This is where the story becomes disappointing for me. Sarah is found by Abalone, a shirtless young girl with a wolfhead tattoo between her breasts - and takes her to "the jungle" to meet the "head wolf" and learn the "jungle laws." Sarah becomes a part of this underground society where Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book" is the basis of how they rule.

As a reader I was not interested in the story of the "the jungle" and the people in it. I am interested in Sarah, in her gift, in her unique ability to communicate. Unfortunately, the author does not explore that very much. The book had an amazing idea but it just fell flat. I kept reading because it was compelling - however, I ended up exchanging the book for something else, cause quite frankly, I was so disappointed in it.

Perhaps you may enjoy the story of the "headwolf" and `the jungle' - I however could care less. This book didn't seem to have depth or heart to it. Just an interesting little premise that wasn't nurtured into a proper story.

Editorial Review:

The Magic That Doesn’t Go Away

Cutbacks have forced Sarah out of the asylum in which she was raised—and into a strange new place where the Head Wolf rules the beautiful and the doomed.

But Sarah can never truly assimilate, for she possesses wild talents. Walls tell her their secrets. Safes tell her their combinations. And a favorite toy dragon whispers dire warnings about those who would exploit her for their own malevolent purposes. There’s no place Sarah can hide, from her pursuers or from her past…

Editorial Review:

Art teacher Mira Fenn’s life was curiously lacking in color until the day she learned of a mysterious inheritance from her birthmother--a long-abandoned house in New Mexico. Dim childhood memories begin to brighten in Mira’s mind--her colorfully exotic mother, the curiously silent women who were her mother’s servants.

Returning to New Mexico, Mira discovers that the house is a faded thing, looked after by the charismatic Domingo Navidad. But when Mira dreams of her childhood home, it is a riot of color--and she and Domingo soon set to work to bring her dreams to life.

Color brings more than just an old house back to life. The bright paint Mira applies to wood and plaster seems to reach into her soul, to awaken powers trapped in a decades-long slumber. The silent women reappear, carrying with them a great secret. Convinced her mother is still alive, Mira searches for her, journeying through a sea of light and color to a time and place far from her own.

Who and what she finds there will alter her world forever.

Leaps to the Stars....Falls in the Mud 2 out of 5 stars.
8 of 9 people found this review helpful.

Lindskold has written a very good airplane book: easy to read, moderately entertaining, and quickly forgotten. What could have been a very deep and engrossing book turns out to be a puff of cotton candy, a sweetish treacle that satisfies for the immediate moment and yet leaves no lasting warmth in the literary tummy.

The story, as told above, is centered around two main characters: Sir Neville and Jenny Benet. Sir Neville had been to Egypt before as a soldier and fancies himself an archaeologist first and foremost and Jenny Benet is his cousin who was raised in America. The most important things to remember from these two characters is that Sir Neville has connections through an old acquaintance, Eddie, whenever he needs them and Jenny 's upbringing in America was SO well-rounded that she can basically produce any skill on demand to fill gaps in the storyline. Add an Egyptologist that knows every facet of history and you have a team that cannot fail.

And herein lies the problem with this story.

Since Sir Neville and Eddie can basically do whatever they want in Egypt thanks to connections or Eddie's conversion to Islam and since any challenge is conquered by the genius skills of Jenny (who not only is a frontier doctor, but also a tough fighter, an excellent shot and a well-mannered, boarding school-trained solver of complex puzzles) there is no real challenge in any of the situations they face. A cursory 60's Batman-style association string figures out the puzzles ("Hmmm...sausage...television....soda pop.....THE JOKER!") and Stephen the Egyptologist can read any heiroglyphic and knows any fact about ancient history; where is the thrill of danger and clever action/quick wit that saves the day? There is none. You can easily skip pages whenever the intrepid group encounters a tiny difficulty, since it will definitely be solved in record time. Each character is a static, video game character that has a special skill or five and can be called on and develops in much the same manner. There is no real development of closeness or maturity in Jenny: she is a tough-as-nails fighter genius doctor when she arrives and is one when the story is over. Even when a character dies, he is forgotten about by everyone (and even the subcharacter that spends the previous 2/3rds of the book FAWNING over him) within a few pages as if he had never existed. All the plots look contrived to be as easy to solve as possible or at least a diversion from the team's goal. It's like going on the Safari boat at Disney World and seeing the "dangerous" animatronic hippo come out of the fake river so the tour guide can shoot it with the toy gun to save the day.

And then we get to the last third of the book and its deus ex machina ending. 1. heroes are trapped in an INESCAPABLE room by the bad guys. 2. Heroes find a way out of the INESCAPABLE room. 3. Heroes find RA THE SUN GOD AND GUIDE HIS BOAT FOR HIM BECAUSE HIS FRIENDS THOTH AND ISIS ARE SOMEHOW MYSTERIOUSLY NOT THERE. 4. Shenanigans ensue! 5. Judgement by Osiris and a useless interlude that is easily won. 6. VICTORY!!!


The book itself is an easy and quick read because there is no substance to it. It's calorie-free and the characters never develop beyond their introductory profiles. The first parts of the book paint such a mysterious picture and promise so much possible intrigue and interpersonal development in the relationships between Neville and Jenny and also Neville and Eddie, who could be struggling with his total conversion to Islam and reconcile his native Englishness with his chosen path. But this never happens. Neville is enchanted with the "villain" when he needs to be and is helpless whenever she needs to manipulate him. Huzzah.


Read this book if you're trapped on a 7-hour flight, but skip it if you're looking for something with bite and substance.

They're part of a team investigating the legendary Buried Pyramid, the tomb of the pharaoh Neferankhotep -- who may also have been Moses the Lawgiver.But they're not the only ones interested in the site. Another party, led by the opulent and treacherous Lady Audrey Cheshire, is shadowing theirs. Someone who signs himself "The Sphinx" has been sending threatening letters -- written entirely in hieroglyphics. In Egypt, an ancient and shadowy organization seems determined to keep the tomb from being discovered.But mortals may not be all that stands in their way.

Editorial Review:

From New York Times bestselling author Andrew M. Greeley, a collection of all new Irish tales to treasure and enjoy hough the Emerald Isle is no stranger to tales of the fantastic (everything from the Hound Cuchlain to Darby O'Gill and his leprechaun friends), most of the fantasy works dealing with Ireland have limited themselves to either ancient history/Celtic legends and lore, sentimental tales of wee folk, or ghostly tales of hauntings in old desterted castles. Needless to say, there is more to the history and culture of Ireland than the sort of entertainment fare popularized each year around March 17th. Emerald Magic presents the entire cavalcade of Eire from its earliest beginnings right up to the current climate that has begotten such popular phenomenons as the rock band U2 and the novels of Roddy Doyle as the backdrop for a collection of all new stories of the fantastic. Ideal for any fan of Irish books and perfectly timed for the Saint Patrick's Day season, Emerald Magic will be a collection to be treasured and enjoyed. Featuring works by such bestselling authors as: Ray BradburyJacqueline Carey Tanith LeeCecilia Dart-Thorton Peter TremayneMorgan Llywelyn Fred SaberhagenL.E. Modesitt Charles de LintJudith Tarr Jane LindskoldElizabeth Haydon Andrew M. GreeleyJane Yolen Adam StempleDiane Duane
