Customer Reviews

witches, sisters and prophecies

I loved this story, The heroin is strong & magical. The story is original, engaging & light.This is a story of a young witch, fighting for the freedom of her sister & her state. I was intrigued by the way she used her magic & by the religion they followed. I agree with one of the reviewers that I wanted to know more about Mervion, Gaultry's sister. I would have liked it if Ms. Reimann had included a few more scenes describing what was happening to Mervion, she is obviously strong & willful, but I would have liked to know her better! Also I needed to know a bit more about the handsome & mysterious Martin. After all he is the hero!!All in all a very good story. Thank you Ms. Reimann. Can't wait to read the 2nd book.Read it!! You'll enjoy it!!

Quality

I generally don't read books in this category, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that I couldn't put this book down. I actually read it in one sitting, I was so engrossed. Thinking that perhaps I'd like other books in this genre, I tried a few (on people's recommendations) and was terribly disappointed. This book is an excellent read. I highly recommend it to anyone.

Epic fantasy well-done

Katya Reimann's debut novel is surprising in its thorough world-building and exciting (and even) pace. The well developed religion and geography are fascinatingly different; equally interesting is the system of magic used consistently throughout. Aside from an excellent background, there's also a fast-paced plot with plenty of suspense and surprises and some truly likeable characters. Gaultry's relationship with the male protagonist is one of the more intriguing I've run across-- NOT your usual sappy and predictable romance. And unlike most epic fantasies, Wind has a satisfactory conclusion, though a few strands are left dangling. What else is there to say? If you like fantasy, try it! While I found the sequel to be a disappointment, Wind from a Foreign Sky is an excellent fantasy.

Can't wait for the sequel!

I really liked this book. I found the characters interesting and realistic. I want to know what happens to them next. I like fantasy books like this and I thought that this one was particularly good. I would recommend it to anybody who enjoys this kind of fiction

Very vivid and engaging; I liked it.

I found this book thouroughly enjoyable and hard to put down; very good for a first novel. I am eager to read the sequel
