"It will definitely get a favorable review in my column ... I am enjoying the book."

-Jacqueline Lichtenberg

"Looking back, were I to read the book twenty times, there would be enough richness to sustain my interest and always something more for me to explore. This is a wonderful work of fantasy that readers of the Dune series might enjoy as the action jumps from place to place and characters dance on and off the stage for solos and different pairings.... At the last sentence of the book, when I saw there were no more words on the page, I felt bereft."

-Asta Sinusas at SFRevu.com

"Home to nine races of humans and near-humans, the world of Tamar lies on the brink of total war unless the living crystals known as the Karionin find young wizards capable of attuning themselves to the magic of the stones. First novelist Cullum begins her epic fantasy series with the tale of three young people destined to become bearers of the crystals. A unique approach to magic along with memorable characters makes this series opener a good choice for most fantasy collections."

-Library Journal review

"One of the big battles facing fantasy authors, is the need to create a vivid, finely detailed realm for their players to rummage around in, but at the same time not to become so enthralled with said creation, as to over indulge in it and ignore the storyline. Here author Cullum excels. Her creation of Tamar life with its complex political and social life is well rendered, working as a solid framework for her real story: the trials and tribulations of her characters."

-R.F. Briggs, Yet Another Book Review

"...a richly textured novel full of marvelous invention, peopled with fabulous creatures and wonderfully likable heroes, caught forever between the dreams and desires of an ordinary life, and the demands of a service which will bring them dazzling powers and exceptional rewards, but which will cost them much."

-Marie Jakober, author
