The Wolfchild Saga #1
The Sapphire Flute
Rasann is a world in dire need.
The net of magic that has held her together for eons is eroding and the magi can’t patch it fast enough to prevent disaster. Volcanoes spew, waters rise, famine and flood and desolation threaten the world as they desperately await the coming of the Wolfchild to heal their home.
Three women begin quests for identity and freedom from the ties that have held Ember, from her overbearing and prejudice mother; Kayla, from the rigidity of the caste that has oppressed her family; C’Tan, from her dark and evil master, the Guardian S’Kotos.
One will discover she is the first white mage born in three millennia, another will become guardian to a keystone, the sapphire flute, and throughout it all the third will try to destroy them both.

I was all set to read The Sapphire Flute one evening when my 14 year old daughter picked it up and said, "Can I look at it?" I said, "Sure." I didn't see it again until the next day. She had read it in one sitting. She gave me permission to share her thoughts on The Sapphire Flute:
Very good. Creative. Lots of the same elements as other fantasies (ex. Tamora Pierce), but is fresh and "clean" (no inappropriate stuff). I really like Ember. I liked the different colors and the white magic stuff. That was cool. The constant shift of view is a little confusing, but creative. I really don't like the cover too much though...otherwise, I really enjoyed it and stayed up till 12:30 to finish reading it!
***
I do not normally read fantasy, but I was drawn into The Sapphire Flute's unique world.
My favorites: the running thread of musical metaphors, Ember's shape-shifting abilities and her wolfpack adventures, and the explosive confrontation between Kayla and C'Tan, involving dragons (Yes, dragons!). The alternating points of view between Ember, Kayla and the villain, kept the plot interesting. The romance between Kayla and Brant didn't ring true at times, but this romance junkie welcomed that sub-plot.
Bottom line: I kept turning the pages to see what happens next. Karen builds the suspense with plenty of twists and brings it to a satisfying conclusion. If you read this book, be prepared to stay up...unless of course your 14-year-old gets hold of it first.

If you've not been a fan of fantasy before, you will be after reading "The Sapphire Flute." Uniquely, 3 women are the main characters. Two, Kayla and Ember, are pitted against C'Tan, and it is a battle to not be missed. As the Kayla and Ember learn who and what they are, including their missions in life, C'Tan does all she can to kill them in order to free her own soul from the evil guardian she sold it to...yeah, that's twisted thinking and it comes back to bite her on the butt in every way.
This is a must-read and a must-have for every home library. Perfect for young girls and those of us who remain young-at-heart though our bodies may be older. I've read it four times now and anxiously await the sequel, Armor of Light to be released in the spring of 2011. It is clean, but exciting, intriguing and a definite page-turner. I recommend it to anyone who loves a good read.

The Sapphire Flute is more than a magical tale—it is two tales skillfully interwoven around one world, Rasann, held together with fraying bands of magic long overdue for mending. If the white mage doesn’t appear soon, Rasann will fall apart at the seams and S’Kotos, the destroyer, will triumph. One story thread forms the warp and the other the weft of this tapestry, one dipping where the other raises, the mark of a sure hand at storytelling. Be warned, The Sapphire Flute is part of a series and will leave you anxious to see the complete tapestry. Color is key, so here are a few samples of the tones.
Ember, at sixteen, feels stifled by her mother’s restrictions against magic and chafes to free herself for better reasons than teenage rebellion. Dreaming she will die at the hands of S’Kotos’ evil servant, Ember knows she must flee her home and learn magic to protect herself. Terrible dangers await if she dares step out her door, yet magic can only be learned at the Academy, and then only if Ember possesses enough magic to survive the journey and escape her enemies long enough to pass the entrance exams.
Kayla, a talented young woman scorned by the aristocracy for her half-evahn heritage, is about to achieve her dreams through hard work and long practice. So beautifully does she play the flute, one might think it magic enough to win the king’s heart. Little does she know one small mistake will bring her world crashing down, endangering her life, her loved ones’ lives, and a city. Even Rasann may fall.
Without revealing the details of why I hated to stop reading long enough to change planes, I can only say Karen’s tale interweaves novel creatures and characters fully fleshed out with strong motives for preservation or destruction and draws them all taught. The wolfchild is like no werewolf you’ve ever seen, and I say see because you will see all Karen’s creatures and scenes as if you were there. She dyed her story threads in all the hues of a rainbow, and I hope you don’t wait until a rainy day to enjoy its beauty.

I wasn't quite sure about this book when I first received it to review. After the first few pages though, I quickly changed my mind. I believe Karen Hoover will be one to watch in the coming years. The fantasy she has created was believable and amazingly detailed. I loved her two main characters. They were so different, and both were very likable. I liked the history she wrote about throughout the book, and wonder how the heck can someone come up with stuff like that! LOL The writing was great, the story held my attention the entire time, and the characters were real and so interesting that I had to find out what happened to them. This is the start of a series, and I can't wait to pick up the next one. I would recommend this to lovers of a good, unique fantasy. It was also a very clean read.

I believe that The Sapphire Flute, Book 1 of The Wolfchild Saga by Karen E. Hoover is a story which will capture the imagination of Young Adult readers, male and female, although it may appeal to girls a little more. I am not sure where I read this, but somebody compared this story to the works of Terry Brooks. Having been a huge fan of the Shannara series as a youth, I immediately seized on that idea. And I agree!
There are a few parallels with the Shannara series, but they are not readily noticeable, and The Sapphire Flute remains quite unique. I personally thought it was a very enjoyable read, and a great fit for the mainstream Fantasy genre.
My strongest praise for the book, however, comes not just because the book is well written, with likable characters who you can root for, and a creative magic system on Rasann, but because the book is CLEAN. I have read a fair amount of modern fantasy yarns, and many of them resort to graphic descriptions of sex or lust to interest their readers. Not so with The Sapphire Flute. This is a book I would allow my youngest daughter and my youngest son to read.
In fact, I did have one of my older daughters read it, and she said, "Dad! It was amazing!"
That is high praise from a girl who reads a lot!
My only gripes with the book: I thought the story moved a bit fast in some scenes. That doesn't bother me much, however, because I can see that it is really two, almost separate stories following two main characters, their stories woven together. It just makes the reader have to pay close attention in order to keep things straight. The second disappointment is also minor, and is related to the first. From the beginning of the story, the reader knows that these two young ladies are going to cross paths. But they never quite do. Or at least not in this first book of the series. I will just have to wait for the sequel!

In fact, my book and Karen's book are being released on the same day. But, I am under no obligation to write a positive review, even though I do like Karen, and will probably have to sit next to her at some future book signing. If I would have hated the book, I would have withdrawn from the Virtual Book Tour, and not done a review!

I reserve five stars for great books that inspire me and fill me with a desire to write. The Sapphire Flute did that for me.
Imagery was Hoover's strong point as she depicted scene after scene vividly. Her story's pace moved along briskly and captured my interest. When I read her prologue in a writing class two years ago, I knew nothing of teenage Ember or Kayla. What a treat she hid from us. Hoover helped me care about her characters and filled them with a warm light. They lived on the page.
The prologue suffered from info dumping as much of Fantasy suffers. It is a necessary evil as the unfamiliar setting is established. This tripped up my 11yo who couldn't follow the prologue until I read it out loud to her. What tripped me up were the occasional modern colloquial expressions that popped up from time to time. They felt incongruous to the setting and pulled me out of the story. I would hope that Hoover can create variations of these sayings in book two that feel more authentic to her world.
Still, there was more going for this book than I have touched upon. Entertaining characters, wonderful settings, risk, danger, adventure… As Hoover's protagonists came into their powers, there was a satisfying thrill. Kayla's handling of her flute in chapter 23 was a particular favorite. Overall, I can recommend this book to fantasy lovers from 12 up. A solid four star book.
The extra star is for showing me that it can be done. From the scruffy beginnings on napkins & scraps of paper to the polished hardbound end. Hoover believed in her dream and made it a reality. I am honored to have been even a small part of that process.

I loved the descriptions in the book. I remember a certain description that caused my mouth to start salivating. Kayla was at a dinner feast and they were eating spicy steak. My mouth started to water. Karen's ability to have her readers experience what the characters are feeling is incredible. I enjoyed the intensity of the book. The main character, Kayla has a choice--should she play the sapphire flute and risk having C'Tan find her OR should she just keep it in her possession? This book is an incredible adventure and if you have the slightest interest in fantasy OR romance even, you must read this novel.
I'm not even a fantasy book lover. But I really enjoyed this book.
The other character in the book that we follow is Ember. She wants and desires to be in the mage trials but her mother does not want her to participate at first. She sneaks out in the quiet of the morning to attend. She does not get very far when she is captured.
Karen just keeps me guessing from the minute I picked the book up. Her ability to make me see each of her character's strengths and weaknesses--Beautiful. I can see why Valor Publishing is publishing this particular series of books. Wow. I hope I get to meet her at the writer's conference next month. She needs to sign the copy of the book I reviewed.
This book is a very compelling read indeed! You just have to read it.

the book follows two different girls from two unique worlds.
They both have magic, families, a destiny.
Karen wove this tale well from the description of the world to the people who inhabit it. I could picture each person through their unique personality and voice (well, not one character since he didn't talk but he had personality).
I became invested in story right away and found myself rooting for the good guys (or girls) and hoping the bad ones are defeated. Or at the very least, frustrated.
The girls, Ember and Kayla, are not aware of each other except maybe in dreams. But when they both decide to take fate into their own hands, they are set on the same path, and hopefully, will meet soon.
The writing is clean and flows well. The characters are well developed and keep growing. Obstacles and trials are constantly standing in the way of the goals, which change when faced with the possibility of the bad guys winning. The descriptions are bright and thorough. I had no problem entering the world Karen created.
There are many characters and a few times I had to remember which ones belonged to which girl but the problem resolved as I read more.
I await the second book, Karen, and would love to review it for you! hinthintwinkwink

I think this is one of those “you can’t judge a book by it’s cover” kind of situations. Animated covers usually push me away from a book, so I will admit that at first glance, I expected an extremely childish adventure with no real substance to it. I was very, very wrong. The Sapphire Flute proves with beautiful writing, an engaging adventure and strong-willed heroines that this is NOT a children's book.
The book alternates between the lives of Kayla, a girl who has been trusted to keep the sacred Sapphire Flute safe and Ember, a girl who is learning to manage her newfound magic. While I absolutely loved their characters and their fast-paced journeys, I think sometimes the action needed to pause and take a breather. From the very beginning all the way to the end, to me, the whole story was quick and eventful; I would’ve liked to see a bit more tranquility at times.
Overall, I really enjoyed The Sapphire Flute. Though it can be a bit confusing at times, it really captured my attention and kept me hanging on chapter after chapter. With shape-shifters, magic, evil villains and kick-ass heroes combined, I definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves YA fantasy!

I really liked this 1st book in what will be a 7 book series. I gave it 4 stars so I have somewhere to go when the next book comes out. The Sapphire Flute has a magic system that is innovative and something I wished I had thought off. The book has 3 very strong female characters that is not often found in a fantasy book/series. I love Karen's writing style. The words just flow smoothly across the pages; something rare for a first time published author. My favorite character in the book is Ember because I could relate to her fiery spirit.

Loved this book! Very engaging author. I got into this book within the first five pages and had to keep going from there. I LOVE the tension/pacing and how concerned I was for the characters.
The characters have flaws to overcome there is a level of realness to them. The relationship aspect is my favorite part of the book. Family seems to be a theme.
Though "The Chosen One" idea is cliche in fantasy, I had no problem with it in this book. In some areas of the book there is an overusage of modifiers (I believe I only noticed it toward the end). That's minor stuff though, and hey even one of the greatest authors of alltime is guilty of that!
I can't wait for the next book in this series.

I loved The Sapphire Flute. It reminded me of the wonderful fantasies I enjoyed as a child, like The Prydain Chronicles and the Dragon Singer books by Anne McCaffrey.I'm so pleased there's another wonderful book like The Sapphire Flute for my children to enjoy.
I loved the beautiful story telling. The larger-than-life story that captivated me for the duration and promises me more wonderful stories to come (there are six more books to come int The Wolfchild Saga.)
I loved the stories told by Kayla, Ember and C'Tam--I love books written for various points of view IF it is done well, which this one most certainly is.
If you enjoy epic fantasies you will LOVE The Sapphire Flute.

I am SOOO excited to be posting about this book! Honestly, my delight in the publication of this book is second only to that of my own book. Karen is a friend I meet when she reviewed my book, We have been instant friends ever since.
I was privileged to read this book as a manuscript. I loved it right away! I had no doubt the story of the wolfchild would be printed for the world to read one day.
I've never been a huge fantasy fan but wow I was in love with The Sapphire Flute's characters and pulled into their adventure immediately. I enjoyed getting lost in Karen's words of cleaver imagination and recommend The Sapphire Flute to young and old.

A complex new fantasy from first-time author Karen Hoover, The Sapphire Flute tells the story of two young girls who are destined to save their world through magic. One, the Wolfchild, is a mage of untold power, the other is the guardian of the Sapphire Flute, a magical instrument being sought by an evil sorceress.
Hoover has created an engaging new world, where magic is widely practiced, gods walk the land, and wolves take human shape. The big frustration? Tense ending, and the next book isn't out for another year!

This story is about three girls. One is evil, the others are good. The two good go against the evil, trying to defeat her.
Ember is the Wolfchild. She is a wolf and a human! She can shape shift. Kayla is the most talented flute player. She is granted the Sapphire Flute.
My favorite part of the book was when Ember learned how to shapeshift.
I'd recommend this book for people who like adventure and wolves.

Even though I am more into Sci-Fi than Fantasy, I really liked this book. I will admit I was skeptical because I had a real problem with the cover. It was one I would have never picked up on my own. I am so glad I read it though because it was an awesome book and I can't wait for the next one to come out. Look for a full review on my blog March 16th. www.writinginberlin.blogspot.com

I love this book. It breaks away from the mold of the typical fantasy books that I've read lately. Karen has created a completely new world for us to explore and be sucked into. It was exciting and intriguing, and I couldn't put it down without itching to pick it back up again. I can't wait for "The Armor of Light" to see what will happen next!
February 13, 2010
This fresh, unique fantasy is skillfully written and will appeal to all lovers of high fantasy. Karen Hoover will definitely be an author to watch in coming years as she produces the other books in this series ... I have no doubt she will soon be a household name.

Hey, I wrote the darn thing, of course I love it! I'd be an idiot not to give myself five stars, don't you think? ;)

Once this book got warmed up it was really good. I especially liked the part of the story about Ember.
There were a few things I didn't like about this book, but overall, it was good.

She's my friend and in my book group, but, aside from that, Karen Hoover writes a brilliant book. The Sapphire Flute is amazing. I can't wait for the next installment.

I just finished this wonderful new story! I loved it! What a great new voice in the Fantasy World.I can't wait for the next book in the Wolfchild series!! Please hurry and write it!

Fast moving and never disappointing.
This book grabs you from the start and downs let go. I’m usually one that has to be in the mood for a book that isn’t full of 1800’s English romance, but I will continue reading books by Karen if they’re all like this! There’s never a lull, and it always leaves me wanting to keep reading. I can’t wait to read book two!
