When Ki first encountered Vandien she very nearly slit his throat. Yet later it was Vandien who suffered a terrible wound to protect her when terror fell from the skies and who gave her a reason to lay to rest the bitter memories of a once idyllic past.
Vandien's unrepentant recklessness led Ki into situations her sensible nature would have avoided. Yet it was Ki who, despite wizard-troubles of her own, risked the wrath of the Windsingers and saved Vandien from his treasure hunt in the submerged temple of the storm-sung sea.
And it was Vandien's stubborn daring which allowed him to attempt to reclaim Ki from beyond the Limbreth Gate - in another world entirely!
An enthralling fantasy saga, THE WINDSINGERS combines first-rate storytelling with two unforgettable characters.
I read this as a teen twice and then again as an adult. I remember really liking it as a teen but not so much as an adult. I might read it again just to check though.
