The Prism Moon

A very slender sequel. Marwen continues her adventures and must journey to seek her staff as the wizards heir, a position that is contested... by her old foe from Marmawell, a haunt from the past who may be more than he seems ... (bring on the music).. She has not yet witnessed Maug's tapestry (by folklore this means he is less than a person, lower than a slave, and extremly untrustworthy) although since the first book, Marwen has her own tapestry rewoven. However in her journey to seek out a staff, a new horror falls over the land, as Maug has stolen the Prism moon and seeks to control the world, and Marwen also. Not a whole lot of suspense, (thus I don't hesitate to disclose half the plot) but enjoyable and absorbingly written. This tiny tome is only 165pgs in full, and took a little under 3 hours to read - but a well spent few hours. Not frivolous, the telling leans to slow and misty imaginings, with occasions of blunt events and descriptions breaking up the pace a little. Every chapter is introduced with a bardic snippet. More often than not, they reveal exactly what is going to occur in the next pages, for those who look with a keen and knowing eye. Once again this book ends so conclusively it is difficult to believe that more awaits. A good follow up, and the romance between Marwen and her prince continues, to satisfy all the romantics amongst us. We are given a satisfactory conclusion and I await with interest where the third and final volume will lead.

I knew there would be a sequel to The Dragons Tapestry!! I also loved this book. It is up there with the other great books. When it ended I was upset. I wanted this book to go on forever.

Why of course...This book is a truly great sequel. I can't wait til the last in this trilogy is out. To think of a place so grand, characters so developed and a language so descriptive, what an imagination. Reading it inspires thought. Her "Songs of the One Mother" should be a book in itself.
