A wonderful companion piece, Nov 26 2000

I was thrilled when I learned Gael Baudino had published a new book in her series on elves and magic! This book gives wonderful new insights into our favorite characters, provides intimate details, and fills the gaps between her previous novels. I would strongly recommend reading the first four (Strands of Starlight, Maze of Moonlight, Shroud of Shadow, Strands of Sunlight) before reading this book, as some plotlines are given away.

This is a good book about elves and humans in the present and past. There are 6 short stories each approx. 50 pages long. Being very well written, this book introduces you to the characterd world of acient and present earth.

The stories taking place in the past are wonderful and well written. They're what I loved about Strands of Starlight. The stories taking place in the present seem rushed and undeveloped. It does give some background on the characters in Strands of Sunlight, but its not enough. I really wish Gael would go back to the world she created in Starlight. Varden, Terril, Mirya, Talla...I want to know more about them, not these new elves. I thought Spires of Spirit, with short stories, would give her the perfect opportunity to do this, but she doesn't. She just puts in old stuff about characters most people probably don't care about.
