Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
Marla Wolfblade of Hythria is determined to restore her family's great name, but conspirators surround her: the Sorcerers' Collective, the Patriots -- even members of her own family. She must make sure her son Damin lives to be old enough to restore the Wolfblade name to its former glory.

Elezaar the Dwarf is a small man with big secrets -- but that doesn't matter to Marla Wolfblade. Her brother is the High Prince of Hythria, and, in this fiercely patriarchal society, her fate will be decided on his whim. She needs someone politically astute to guide her through the maze of court politics -- and Elezaar the Dwarf knows more than he lets on.

As Elezaar teaches Marla the Rules of Gaining and Wielding Power, Marla starts on the road to becoming a tactician and a wily diplomat -- but will that be enough to keep her son alive?

Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Entertaining
So I just discovered Jennifer Fallon with this being her very first book that I have ever read. Found it enjoyable---nice mix of fantasy and treachory with just a touch of the erotic thrown in here and there. I enjoyed it so much that I bought the second book in the triology the day after---which I found to be even better than the very first but you do need this one for background of the second. For an entertaining read, I would definitely reccomend.


Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Great book!
I'm disappointed with the reviewers who demonstrated little ability to appreciate good writing. This novel is just as good as all of Ms. Fallon's other titles. There is more political machinations than in her previous series, but it's just as absorbing. And frankly, comparing Lackey and Fallon is like apples and oranges. Both have their strong points. I think Fallon's work is deeper and the characters are more enmeshed in their worlds. Don't turn away from this book because of the rating. It is a fantastic book. All of Fallon's work shines above and beyond the typical fare of most fantasy out there. Fallon does an amazing job of surprising the reader.


Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - Very disappointing
I anticipated a book that would be on the same scale as Heir of Autumn or Briar King or a Mercedes Lackey book, but ended up with a read that was lackluster and boring. The characters were unimaginative and flat; the writing was colorless and weak. The concept was good, but the quality of the writing was so poor that I kept getting hung up on how it could have been written better, rather than what was happening to the characters.


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Wolfblade
Fallon is one of my favorite authors. She writes great dialogue, and is excellent at multiple conflicts between her many realistic and interesting characters. I also love the many cultures she has created.


Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Not up to expectations
Having read several other books by Jennifer Fallon, I can safely say that they are generally far more engaging than this one turned out to be. At first, the plot seemed promising; but the story has forced and irritating characters set in an anti-climatic theme. It is not a bad book if your expectations aren't high, and there are moments when it can be surprising or amusing, but if you have read the very first three Hythrun chronicles and hope that Wolfblade will satisfy your thirst for more, you will be dissapointed. I'm a fan of the series, but I don't plan on reading the subsequent one, Warrior.
