About the author
E.M. Prazeman
11 books34 followersEM Prazeman came to the United States as a refugee. Her family settled in the Pacific NW after moving frequently across the US, so EM got a lot of practice being the new kid at school. Super shy? Check. Reclusive? You bet.
In third grade, her father suggested she learn an instrument. She picked violin, because harps are expensive (she was frugal-minded, even as a kid) and the piano looked hard. Well, turns out the violin is super-hard, and kids think you're weird (or in her case, it only made her weirder). But, bonus, she learned to love all kinds of music, and her involvement in orchestra and theater led to a love of history. Those things eventually connected her to some incredible people. EM was no longer alone!
For love of history she wanted to learn archery and karate, and joined the SCA. For love of imagination she became part of a community of writers whose accomplishments continue to grow. A lust for knowledge drew her to physics and engineering in college. Then she married and through her husband befriended adventurers, law enforcement officers and soldiers, world travelers, genius intelligence specialists, scientists and many other remarkable people that defy description. Their remarkable lives and warm friendships inspire her.
EM writes fantasy novels, travels, gardens, works a small farm, paints, and loves wine. She's been paragliding and scuba diving, sailing, canoeing, fishing and all kinds of other fun stuff. She's hiked over a hundred miles from the city to the coast on logging roads. She's been to Europe, the tropics, and many places in the US and Canada. Best of all, she continues to live in the Pacific NW with her exceptional husband, author and lecturer Rory Miller, three dogs, eight goats, a flock of chickens, and her beloved children and extended family close by.

I wish a competent editor would fix the easy-to-catch mistakes, these books deserve a lot better than that. They really do.

Gracious, what a book. The FEELS that E.M Prazeman can inflict. I tell ya. A tidbit: I officially hate Feather. Also, there are some major surprises in this book, so be ready. As usual, Prazeman rocked my world with this book and I am dying because the last one in the series isn't out yet. I cannot wait!!!

What a journey. This book brings one through a roller coaster of emotions or hating it and absolutely can't leaving it down. The development of the story line is masterful but at times I wonder is it necccessary. Mark/lark journey is harsh and in relentless at times but his interactions with the main and secondary characters holds the reader let alone the main relationship - himself - laborious, enlightening , frustrating, annoying, repetitive, amazing, exciting . Th journeys into the ALL are well done but also confusing. ALL in ALL it is a great read and I can't wait to the next one. When will that be.

The first 45% of this book could be slashed in half content wise and you wouldn't miss a thing. I found this book dragging with the split narratives (unlike the previous book in the series where the split narrative pushed the book on).
It was just so long for no reason, and there's mistakes that could easily be fixed. The overly-done descriptions made a comeback in this book too (as per the first in the series).
