Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Fantasy author MacAvoy's remarkable sequel to Lens of the World has the wandering optician Nazhuret trying to avert a war.
Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.


From Library Journal

Where most fantasy adventures deal out magic in bold strokes, MacAvoy's novels exhibit a more elusive quality. In this sequel to Lens of the World ( LJ 5/15/90), Nazhuret the lensmaker travels to the hostile kingdom of Rezhmia to prevent a war. Although magic (of a sort) figures in the plottings of both sides, this story's real strength lies in subtle characterization and attention to cultural detail. Nazhuret and his sword-wielding mistress Arlin are provocative, complex people--like the world in which they live. Libraries that own the previous volume will definitely want this.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Special, Nov 24 2001
By Steven Taylor (Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: King of the Dead (Paperback)
This is the second book in the series of Nazhuret's life written by MacAvoy. This book takes the form of a letter from Nazhuret to his friend and mentor Powl (who ironically is part of the story) about his travels in a foreign land.
This book did absolutely nothing for more. In fact, I found the whole episode quite boring. Nazhuret rambles on about seemingly pointless things and the action is few and far between. The characters Nazhuret meets on his travels don't add any excitement, nor does the weird new land he visits. Some people may enjoy it, but I really did not get any great pleasure from reading this at all.
