Product Details

Product Description

From Booklist

Prophecies of old say that Skala will prosper as long as a queen of the true lineage holds the throne. But for many years, a usurper king has ruled, with tragic and devastating consequences for the people. Moreover, keeping the rightful future queen safe directly beneath the eyes of her deadliest enemies is the sacred mission of Skala's renegade wizards. To fulfill that intent, they magically changed the infant girl's body to that of a boy. Eventually shown her true, female face, Tobin is shocked and confused but struggles successfully to navigate "his" complex world, rife with secrets, assassins, and political agendas, and to come to terms with her destiny, which he isn't at all sure he wants. Ultimately, orphaned Tobin must betray his only remaining family and reveal them for the conniving traitors they are. That is a difficult enough task, but Tobin's most bizarre secret must yet come to light before she can claim the throne. A beautiful, compelling, dark tale. Paula Luedtke

5.0 out of 5 stars Thankyou Robin Hobb, April 17 2004
By Gwen Le "smurfles" (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hidden Warrior (Mass Market Paperback)
I was looking for a book to read, and picked this one up, with a Robin Hobb recommendation on the front cover. Being a fan of Robin Hobb, I thought, "Why not", and bought the book. (Yes I know it's silly to read the second book of a series but I couldn't find "The Bone Doll's Twin" in the bookstore.)
Anyway, I started reading and didn't stop till I finished it a day later. Extremely engaging, giving new vitality into the 'girl disguised as a boy' routine. King Erius and Korin are not shown as evil, 2D characters, but are as equally charismatic as the book's protagonists.
An excellent book, with an original, well-thought out world, reminiscent of Grecian culture...Thoroughly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, Mar 7 2004
By "vihn" (the marvelous country of Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hidden Warrior (Mass Market Paperback)
Though this book, I feel, did not outshine the Bone Doll's Twin, it was still a very worth while read.
There were moments of extreme darkness and apprehension, and then there were hilarious scenes of almost painful irony, in which Tobin, the girl turned boy, is mocked for having no beard, and is even dragged into a brothel. They made me fall over laughing. It takes a very skillful writer to insert these very different scenes into one book.
Also, I was very pleased at how she handled Tobin's dilemna of being a girl in a boy's body, and discovering her true sexuality. She has to deal with teasing, embarrassing accusations, and very awkward situations that can be heart wrenching or chuckle-inducing.

P.S. I am shocked and appalled by some of the people reviewing this book. One person who hasn't even read the first installment is reviewing this volume, and he/she hasn't even read the entire thing. This book is meant to be read after the first one, and though it does not say so anywhere, that is the fault of the publisher, and should not be blamed on the author. Therefore, it can't possibly be given a fair review if only this installment had been read. Many renowned literary works would make absolutely no sense if you just started in the middle. It's stupid.

5.0 out of 5 stars Moving and beautiful, feast for fans of fantasy, Feb 26 2004
By Brenopa "bsmith376" (Southern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hidden Warrior (Mass Market Paperback)
Many think that fantasy can't be literature, but this fascinating sequel to the excellent 'The Bone Doll's Twin' proves that it can. I was actually moved to tears several times in this book, as when Tamir examines the belongings of her dead parents. Or when the stunning revelation is made to her dearest friend, and he cannot bear the sight. Dark, moody, and just gorgeous in every way, I am desperate for the final volume. Lynn Flewelling is a standout author in a field crowded with mediocrity.

5.0 out of 5 stars When Is The Next Volume?
The only complaint that I have is that the next volume is not already written, published, and in my hands! The characters reach out to you, and you cannot put the book down! Read more
