Once again Bertrice Small has woven a tale filled with mystery and magic. We read of Lara and her trials and tribulations. In the first book, we learned that Lara had a destiny and she was beautiful. In this book she is more beautiful, and her destiny is still yet unfulfilled.

I have been a big fan of Bertrice Small since the Kadin. I thought for sure Lara would have adventures that would rival those of SKY O'MALLEY, but nope, she is simply lusted after by every man that she meets. Yawn. ..

Lara's destiny takes her AWAY from her kids, to an unknown destination called Terah. Immediately upon setting eyes upon her, the ruler of the new land, falls in love with her, and despite her destiny wants her. He is a jealous man, and basically a boring man, he wants only Lara, and whatever she wants she gets, simply because he is bewitched by the beautiful-destiny-yet-unfulfilled- Lara.

In this new land of Terah, Lara has all kinds of magical powers. Need a dress, no problem wave your hand and boom. Need to move 12,000 people to a foreign land, give Lara 8 days and mission accomplished. I was expecting so much more from this story, and all we really got was a mildy interesting story about Lara, and this Ruler of this unknown land. Clearly this was just a big long preview of book three..

Come on Bertrice, bring back the descendants of Skye O'Malley, or take us back in time, and give us a preview of some of Skye's children. Something, better than Fairies living in an unknown time period.... I always enjoyed the rich history that accompanied your stories. Bring that back to the dedicated readers.
