Product Description
Ingram
Peopled by humans, Shee, forest-dwelling, Wyrdsd, and watery Neira, Lyra is a place of beauty and peace--or would be, if it were not for the immensely powerful and evil Shadow-born, straining against the bonds that have held them for millenia.

Wait a Minute!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Shadows Over Lyra (Paperback)
I have to say say that I wasn't very happy with the review titled "Is This Really Wrede?". First, she/he was acting as though there was only one book in Shadows over Lyra. There are, in fact, two others. How did she/he like those?Second, she/he writes that the main charater is a princess. She is not. There is no royal family. She comes from a noble but not very important family. I have doubts as to whether anyone who doesn't read a book well enough to tell whether the main character is or is not a princess should be writing a review of of it.

The best young adult fantasy ever,
By
This review is from: Shadows Over Lyra (Paperback)
The world of Lyra is one of the greatest fantasy worlds ever created. Patricia C Wrede has brought about the most relistic and loveable characters ever in this book series. All three books in Shadows over Lyra are action packed, with humor and even romance around every bend. Daughter of Witches, the second book in the collection, is the most amaizing take on magic that I have ever read. I could not put it down. I also loved Shadow Magic and the Harp of Imach Thyssel. I higly recomend this book for anyone who love fantasy, regardless of how old they may be. Wrede is truely a master at her craft.

Worth the time to read,
By aelfheld (Weatherford, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shadows Over Lyra (Paperback)
While I haven't read "Shadows Over Lyra", I have read the books that constitute the collection. While not "high" fantasy on the order of Tolkien, Rawn, or Martin, the books are well written entertainment and a pleasant way to spend a rainy afternoon. Written in a different style from Wrede's "Enchanted Forest" series, the stories are free of the pretentious nonsense that a lot of current fantasy wallows in.
