Product Description

Under the rule of a usurper king, the realm of Skala has suffered famine, plague, and invasion. But now the time for the rightful heir has come, a return to the tradition of warrior queens. And the Lightbearer’s prophecy is to be upheld at last: so long as a daughter of the royal line defends and rules, Skala will never be subjugated.

Now a mystical fire has burned away the male body known as Prince Tobin, revealing Princess Tamír, a girl on the verge of womanhood–and a queen ready to claim her birthright after a life in disguise under the protection of wizards and witches. But will her people, her army–and the friends she was forced to deceive–accept her? Worse, will the crown’s rival heir, friend to Tobin, turn foe to Tamír, igniting civil war in a fierce
battle for Skala?


About the Author

Lynn Flewelling was born in Presque Isle, Maine, which—contrary to common assumption—is not an island. She received her undergraduate from the University of Maine at Presque Isle, where she majored in English, minored in History, and received a teaching certificate she had no intention of ever using. Since then, she has studied literature, veterinary medicine, ancient Greek among other things, and worked as a necropsy technician, a house painter, an office worker, a freelance editor, a freelance journalist (www.sff.net/people/Lynn.Flewelling/OtherWritings.html), and yes, even as a teacher now and then, an instructor of workshops—on creativity and fiction writing.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Less fulfilling than I would have liked, Juil 3 2007
Par M. Serratore "anaxerete" (Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I love Lynn Flewelling, especially her first trilogy, and I enjoyed the first two novels in this trilogy, but there was something about this book that left me wanting more...but since this seems to be the end of Tamir's story, I fear those loose ends will never be tied up. I was rooting for Tamir and Ki from the second book, hoping they'd finally unite. Their awkward encounters were sometimes a little too repetitive and got old really quickly. Of course the author needed some way to stretch out this aspect of the story, but when there was that final resolution, it all seemed so anticlimactic, especially the ending where there's only a brief epilogue to tie everything up. Was she working under a tight deadline and had to hastily conclude the novel? That was the impression I got. We go from a gripping battle to a curt ending. I wanted something more and know it won't happen since we jump from Tamir's era to Seregil and Alec's. Her story is over and it saddens me that it wasn't more satisfying.

3.0étoiles sur 5 More of the same, which isn't a good thing., Oct. 2 2006
Par Whitemouse (Vancouver, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I got this book because I wanted to find out how the trilogy ended, but I already knew by the end of book two that I wasn't much of a fan of Flewelling anymore.

I thought The Bone Doll's Twin (the first book in the trilogy) was really good, and I was excited to have discovered a new author that I liked. On the strength of that one book, I picked up Hidden Warrior (the second book in the trilogy) and the first two books of Flewelling's Nightrunner series (Luck In the Shadows and Stalking Darkness). My opinion of those three books ranged from "mostly good" to "kind of disappointing".

I bought The Oracle's Queen expecting that it would be more like the second book of the trilogy, rather than the first, and that, unfortunately, was what I found to be true. The book was okay, but not wonderful. The yummy darkness of the first book had disappeared and the story had become pretty pedestrian in content.

Flewelling is an odd sort of author, to me. On one hand, I absolutely love her characters and I think she's built an interesting world. On the other, I find her writing to be very bloated. She uses too many adverbs and adjectives, and she spends too much time on backstory, detailing the intricacies of the world she's built, rather than telling the story. I found Hidden Warrior and The Oracle's Queen to both drag on far more than they needed to. Even The Bone Doll's Twin could have been shorter.

If you loved both of the first two books of this trilogy, then you'll probably love this one also. If you found the second book slightly disappointing, however, The Oracle's Queen isn't going to win you back to liking the series. Wait until you can borrow it from the library, if you absolutely must satisfy your curiosity.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Amazing, Jui 27 2006
Par Michael Thiessen (Manitoba, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Lynn Flewelling is a brilliant writer, and her fans have been waiting eagerly for the third and final Tamir book. It was entirely worth the wait; it is engrossing and satisfying and surprising and makes you need to know what will happen next. And in this one the relationships and the loyalties are all being pushed past their limits. Tamir and Ki, Korin and the Companions, Iya and Arkoniel - I'll miss them now that I've finished reading. Read the Tamir books, you won't regret it.
