From Booklist
O'Donohoe's sequel to his
Magic and the Healing (1994) brings back Dr. B. J. Vaughn, veterinary to the faerie beasts of Crossroads, and all her friends and foes. In the course of this story, she and the faun Stefan become lovers as he acquires an education, she learns the secret of the relations between griffins and chimeras, and she and her friends teach the centaurs about preventive medicine and first aid. More serious crises impend, however, when Morgan le Fay returns to again menace Crossroads and, this time, to meet final defeat at the hands of B. J., who, as a reward, becomes the patron demigoddess of Crossroads. O'Donohoe has taken a concept that could have led to terminal cuteness and instead has produced two powerful, intelligent, and eminently readable books, making one hope for a third and more.

In the sequel to
The Magic and the Healing, veterinarian BJ Vaughan once again brings the benefits of modern medicine to the fantasy creatures and copes with the destructive forces that have entered Crossroads.
