Five Senses #5
A Taste of Magic
"The Green Ones favored me this day."
Thus begins A Taste of Magic, the latest magical world creation by Andre Norton.
Wisteria is magically attuned to the world around her. Her senses relish the tastes of magic that the wonders of nature offer. But the peacefulness of her backwoods existence is shattered when her village is attacked by the raiding force of the bellicose Lord Purvis, who leaves only this twenty-something magic wielder and an adolescent lass as the inadvertent survivors.
Wisteria has pledged herself to a mission. Now she and her young ward must brave the wilds beyond their home in pursuit of the ravager who destroyed everyone near and dear to their hearts.
The woman with the taste of magic now has a taste for vengeance, and the blood oath she has pledged must be satisfied with the life of Lord Purvis.

This barely squeaked past a 2. Not really a fan of either main character, and the ending was abrupt. Akin to the recent Mad Max without the saving grace of the subtle performances offset by crazed action.

This book... it is one of the driest most boring fantasies I've ever read. How can you begin with an entire village slaughtered and have the slowest plot conceivable? They must have used up all the action in the first and last ten pages.
Was it because it was Andre's last attempted novel before she passed away, and she completely lost interest? Was it a bad match between co-authors? As my first Andre Norton fantasy (Norton has been proclaimed Grande Dame of Science Fiction and Fantasy), I was very disappointed.
Regardless of the reasons, the book was terrible and took Many long hours to get through. From the flat female characters to the random rabbit-holes the plot would dive into, the story was a flop. Pairing slow, dry storytelling with a magic system that requires actually sticking one's tongue into the air pretty much guarantees that the book's going to be toast. Literally, yes, she would stick out her tongue to 'taste' emotions, smells, etc. "I edged my tongue out beyond my teeth." Weird...
Add in a few odd things like the below...
When the main character's upset with herself: "I ground my teeth together and squeezed my hands so tight I once more drew blood from my palms."
When she's interrogating someone: "My fingernails dug into the flesh of his throat... ...I'd cut him with my nails; thin trails of blood wet my fingers."
Ummmm.... WOW. I guess her nails are like TALONS.
Oh, and I despised the annoying habit of frequently starting sentences with the word "too."
"Too, there had been no rumors of invasion..."
"Too, I asked the Green Ones to let merchants or passing farmers find them..."
"Too, there was a scattering of pin oaks, which Bastien told me favored high, dry places."
I don't know if it's grammatically acceptable to begin a sentence with "too" or not, but it definitely sounds unprofessional. Once or twice I could forgive, but it was all throughout the book.
Terrible, I really couldn't recommend this book to anyone.

A good read. Especially if you like strong female characters. Wisteria is strong, trained as a fighter, not constrained by the typical female roles in her world. When the worst thing imaginable happens and she survives the death and destruction of her entire Village she decides to right the wrong. As strong as she is, she still has emotions and vulnerabilities but she does not let them stop her from avenging her village. Although she is determined to do it on her own she is helped along the way by several people, and learns to let new people I to her heart.

This was Andre Norton's last book. Unfinished at her death, it was completed by Rabe, a friend of Norton's, from her notes. I didn't get the impression that Norton was anywhere close to finishing the book, but that's okay.
Young Wisteria, called Eri, has natural magic, which she is trained in by the witch Nanoo Gafna. One day she is out hunting for the village, and when she returns, it is to a scene of devastation and bloodshed. The only person left alive in the village is the Nanoo's other apprentice, a young girl named Alysen, whom Nanoo put an invisibility spell on to protect. Alysen bitterly tells Eri that it is all Eri's fault that the village was slaughtered, that the armed band of men led by Lord Purvis, were looking for Eri, to kill her because of her magic. Regardless of Alysen's anger, Eri feels the responsibility to bring the younger girl safe to the witches' settlement before going out for revenge.
This setup is fine, if not terribly original, but then, an inordinate amount of the subsequent plot has to do with the girls' dealings with a random supernatural creature that they encounter in the wild, which has not much to do with anything, and doesn't really go anywhere.

I like the twisty plot which surprised me again and again.
The story telling quality was not very compelling and I had to force myself to trudge across a couple of patches. But once through it, the paced picked up again.
Although this is book 5 in the Five Senses series, this book can be read on its own. I haven't read the other 4 books in the series, yet, I understood it just fine. There is enough info between the pages that a reader don't get lost. However if you've read the previous books, it would probably give you a better understanding of events and characters.
I didn't like the gory scenes. Although the authors sort of glossed over it, it was still too gory for me. Because of that, this book is not for kids!
I would rate this book as:
Character development = 3.5
World building = 5
Plot = 4.5
Story itself = 3.5
Ending = 3.5
Story telling quality = 3
Overall Rating: 3.5 out of 5

Really more of a 3.5 read but it's Norton so I rounded up. I've had this one on my self for years and typical of a Science Fiction Book Club selection, I had no idea that this was one of a series (they love hiding that, or at least they did when I bought this). In fact this is the last in the series but they seem to be stand alones based on the five senses. It was the last thing Andre Norton ever wrote and she only wrote the beginning and her friend Jean Rabe wrote the rest.
It was a relief to read something set in the days before everything had to be a dystopia. Wisteria is a young woman who had been trained by a former Moonson (noble warriors) to fight and hunt. She also has the ability to taste the world, letting her know people's emotions, if evil is about etc. I thought that was very different and interesting. Her father serves the emperor as a 'taster' as he has the same magic.
She comes home from a hunting trip to find her entire village slaughtered except for a young girl Alysen who is more than she seems and Nanoo (a magical race of beings) Gafna is missing. Wisteria, Eri as she's called, swears a blood oath to destroy Lord Purvis for slaughtering the villagers and also for murdering her father and the emperor at the behest of the empress. All Eri knows is Purvis is hunting for her and she has to stop him.
First she has to take Alysen to the Nanoo to keep her safe. Honestly the getting Alysen to the Nanoo takes too long. I wonder how much of this was Norton rough draft and how much is Rabe (more the latter I'm sure). I think it was a case of we didn't want to have a fantasy novel too short (though they should reconsider the super long fantasies as being the only acceptable form). Getting Alysen there was a slow tangent that took away from the book. The rest was fast paced. truthfully Alysen was unpleasant for the most part.
I did enjoy the book. I might go look for more of the series. It does end on a strange note. It's rather open ended even though it's the fifth of the five senses and Norton had died. Rabe was hired to finish the series so that was weird.

It took me 7 months to read this book because I was rarely on the edge of my seat to pick it back up for more. I read it during small bursts when waiting around at the doctor or rare moments of quiet. It was always good enough while reading it, just never good enough to draw me back in quickly. Truly neutral. My biggest complaint is that we never truly get to know any of the characters. So much so that the big twists are not impactful.
Now, it's important to note that the main author herself disliked this book and did not finish it, putting it away for years. When she was dying she asked a friend to finish it for her. I'd like to read more from both of the authors someday and see what they're like at their best.
This book is the 5th in a 5 Senses book. My husband picked it up at a used book store and read it about a year before I did. He liked it even less than I did, despite being the bigger fantasy fan. Both of us would like to go back and read the first book eventually and compare.
As to the actual content of the book - it is medium to high fantasy set in a fictional world with fictional rules - there's a "secret" to magic that must be discovered, there are oft mentioned but not detailed whatsoever gods called the "Green Ones." The main character can "sense" certain things like emotions through "taste" - though far too often it really comes across a lot more like scent. The villan is very evil and violent, but nearly all of it takes place "off screen."

This book fell a bit flat for me. Hardly any character development, and a confusing magic setup.
I found it odd that for a taste based magic, that there was very little tasting of anything except the air. You would think she would use her magic by tasting food, or licking an object or something. A lot of the things she "tasted" in the air, were things that you could easily smell instead.
Most of the characters feel like they were only there to shove the plot along, and they were just dropped off at the curb when they were no longer needed. Some of the plot just didn't feel like it belonged. The bird thing was strange, and didn't feel like it fit into the plot in any meaningful way.
When I read this book as a teen, I really liked it. Reading it as an adult, I don't think I would ever pick it up, or any of the others in this series. I'm sad that Andre couldn't finish this one properly, because you can't feel her touch in this book at all.

Even though the beginning is heartbreaking it started the story with action and magic. The story moves right along from there. The story keeps moving along but it gets a bit dry. I felt that many of the actions going on didn't need to be dragged out to include so many details. Plus Wisteria's thoughts were often repeated.
I wasn't expecting the twist at the end.
The story starts off sad, adventures, magic, suspense and than ends on a sad note. Though, despite the sadness people are saved.
I tried to write that so it wouldn't be a spoiler.

A story filled with a magical world and populated by enchanting characters. Andre Norton created a place I'd like to visit and perhaps stay awhile. A ravenger destroys a village, killing everyone who lives there. A blood oath is spoken and vengeance is the impetus for Wisteria, a twenty-something woman with her own magic she has yet to fully discover. What she finds at the end of her quest nearly breaks her heart.

Intrigue and murder in a foreign world
Another story in the Senses theme. None of these are set in the same world. Each stands alone. All bound by the use of a specific sense to use the magic of their world. An engaging and compelling story.

Andre Norton's last novel, left unfinished at her death and completed by Jean Rabe.
I'm unsure if this was written with a younger audience in mind but it reads like a YA novel. It's standard fare, enjoyable as an easy read but without anything particularly gripping or unique to commend it.

I loved this book. The creatures, magic and twist at the end are fantastic. I was sad to find that this was Andre Norton's last but excited to find that I had never read it.

Not a bad read
While Andre Norton started the story before her death, and it was finished by Jean Rabe from the notes she was given. It was written in a good way. Good story and fairly true to the great artistry of Andre Norton. If you are a fan I would recommend it to you.

Decent story, I liked that the young warrior character is female, but the ending was unsatisfying.

This story deals with a character living in a world where magic is known but not common. Her magic is the ability to determine what is happening around her based on taste. She tastes the air and knows from the taste of blood that a violent death has occurred, or from certain flower scents what herbs are grown to be used in medicine or cooking.
The only issue I had with this particular premise is that is normal, although not really widely used, even in our world. It is more highly refined in this tale, but still not uncommon. For instance, if you smell blood you know something has happened. Depending on how strong it is you could estimate how recent or how much damage was done. Related to that is the fact that violent deaths such as this story opens with would not just fill the air with blood, but with other bodily odors. Perhaps the author was being sparing of our sensibilities, but it seemed a bit of an omission to me.
Overall though, I thought the story flowed really well, including character traits that were well done. I disliked the child Alysen from the beginning, although I understood her reaction to Ris. However, she is not a pleasant child, but is temperamental and extremely impulsive.
Ris was easy going, making decent decisions, and cares deeply for her animals, which is always a plus. She did have one flaw though, in that she let the child lead when she should have stopped to think.
Overall a decent story designed by a Grand Master whose work and wit is missed.

This book is Not up to Norton's normal standards. The plot is interesting but the execution lacks Norton's normal finesse.
Wisteria is a teenage girl who went out hunting to find her village needed meat only to return everyone slain except a small girl who had been placed under a no see spell by the visiting Nanoo. Wisteria decides to take the girl to live with the Nanoos while she follows through on her blood oath of vengeance. Unfortunately, the girl is impulsive and keeps placing their lives in danger. The girl alleges that the marauders were looking for Wisteria as she is the last person in her boodline who has any sense of the wyse magic.

Andre Norton fans will probably like this more than other readers. The story of how this story came to be published is very heartwarming. Andre wanted to finish the story before she died, but was not able to. She invited a friend to finish the story for her and that is the general feeling of the story, unfinished. After reading it, I think some scenes would have been cut out especially the weird side story with the bird thing (once you read it, this will make sense). The story itself does not really end and obviously sets up for a sequel.
It took me almost 100 pages before I figured out that the main charater was female! Oops.

I read this one twice with a gap of a few months. Really enjoyed it first time around and felt sentimental because it was Andre Norton's last story and she was one of the first female sci-fi/fantasy writers I ever discovered.
Good story but on second reading some of the meanderings seem a bit meaningless, a major first part of the story involves a diversion that is never explained, has no apparent bearing on the primary plot and seems to be there mostly to build a character which then virtually disapears from the rest of the story.
I still quite enjoyed it mind you...

The companion to Scent of Magic follows the fortunes of Wisteria, who returns home from hunting, only to find bodies and blood everywhere. With the exception of 10-year-old Alysen, who was warded by one of the fen witches, everyone in the village is dead. The two youngsters set out on a perilous journey in search of the noble who sanctioned the carnage.
August 11, 2016
I gather this is the last book Andre started so Jean Rabe finished it. I can see why Scifi readers like her - very much the epic trilogy or the stark - one person - strong and tragic experience.
A young lady returns home from hunting to find everyone she has loved and cared for has been cruelly tortured and killed - all is not as it seems.
I liked it. I'm also glad it wasn't long….

Nice concepts, with a good collection of dynamic female characters, but I felt like the story and themes could have been fleshed out better. I'm willing to try others of Andre Norton's books, since I can only assume she couldn't do this one full justice, passed along to someone else shortly before she died. I've heard lots of praise for her other work.
April 6, 2016
A good adventure with well-drawn characters caught up in story they want no part of. It features a mostly female cast. While many writers (particularly those who write for major motion pictures) struggle to come up with interesting and deep women for their stories, this book effortlessly gives us many memorable females who are all worthy of the reader's attention.

I liked the magic in this story: being able to taste the people, things, and emotions around you was one of the many kinds that I found fascinating. I felt like the pacing was a little fast, but it wasn't terrible. Overall, I thought it was a fun, easy read.

When I was a young girl of about sixteen I discovered Andre Norton in Cosmo Today I have rediscovered her and I will miss her. I never knew that she was a woman until I rediscovered her in these past few months. Please read her works so she can live on.

This was entertaining. I really cared about Wisteria. I wish there was more character development and that the storyline went longer into the girls' lives.

I enjoyed it but it was a little flat in character depth. Obviously written with a sequel in mind.

I tried this out because I thought the cover was cool, but I was a little disappointed. The setting and world were promising, but the story fell short on character development and emotion.
