Wild Magic

The heroine of this book is Faan who was stolen from her family when she was three by a goddess. The goddess leaves her to be found by a hermaphodite prostitute. Basically the story follows Faan as she grows up in a outcast family made up of unwanted people. She eventually grows into her destiny as a pawn in the war of the gods. I really enjoyed how the author brought to life all the major characters and the dillemas that they face. It is a fast paced story with enough mystery left that I'm looking forward to the next book in this trilogy.

This is book is a wonderful book. I greatly enjow Jo Clayton's fantasy worlds and her great heroines. A yound girl with a mysterious past finds herself with a man who has had a bad past. Together they try to find out who she really is and soon she discovers many magical powers including the power to burn anything and everything around her. Set on a fantasy world with characters that will make you laugh and cry I strongly recomend it. Too bad its out of print but find it and read it, then read the other ones in the series (Wildfire...) I read it when I was in middle school, which didn't bither me but it might bother other parents because there is some graphic content, (like the man is a prostitute who dresses like a woman) but that doesn't make him bad, he's really nice. This is a whole other world and time so..ok, it might make you cry, it is kinda sad, but good.
