Totally Enthralling, July 25 2000

I found this at the library and I loved it. It's fun, exciting, and original. I wish I could be more specific but I haven't read it in a while (the library's copy went missing and it's hard to find out-of-print books). Trust me though, it's worth the search.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Enjoyable but slight, Aug 28 2005
By Peter D. Tillman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lost in Translation (Mass Market Paperback)
____________________________________________
Allie, a drifty California college student, is fighting with her dad over her faltering education, and a boyfriend that Dad doesn't like. He's planning to send her to a college in France -- but she somehow ends up in the Coindra College of Magical Arts, which is considerably further away. Hijinks ensue.
"B-", enjoyable but slight. I picked it up because an aquaintance recommended it. Regular fantasy readers are likely to enjoy it more than I did.
Note that the author is Margaret Ball. For a stronger Ball novel, I recommend trying FLAMEWEAVER, an alt-hist with magic in Central Asia & China, atmospheric and quite good. "A-/B+"
Happy reading--

This was a really good fantasy!, Jan 18 1998

I had never read any of Margaret Ball's books when I found this at our local bookstore. I thought the cover looked neat and that the synopsis sounded interesting. I read this book in 2 hours! It was fast-paced and had great charcters!
