Tales of Haroon #4
River Flowing
When the god of healing gave River the Gift, she didn't realize that the direction of her life would be at his whim for all the rest of her days.
Living and learning in the temple of Bhanur was all that River had known for most of her young life. She dreamed of becoming a Hand, healing everyone who came to the temple, but soon discovered it wasn't going to be that simple. A great upheaval scattered Hands and pupils all over the face of Haroon. River had to contend with lethal accidents, powerful mages and truculent tutors in her journey to understanding the hidden dangers in the magic. When a major catastrophe tests them brutally, she struggles to stay within her own limits as crowds of victims descend upon the temple. Her Gift can heal those who need it, but her own life lies in the hands of the god.

A refreshing fantasy full of believable characters, action and intrigues.
This series I've been reading is wonderful (about to start Book 5). Author emphasises characters and well developed plots with just enough battle scenes to move the plot along. I often grow weary of long drawn out gore filled battle scenes that take away from the story line. Great writing!

Enjoyed the characters in this book a great deal. River might be just a little too perfect, but its mostly explained by her family background. She was taught to take care of herself and others. and is fulfilled by doing so. I love how the way she feels about some of the characters shifts as she learns more about them.
The story is about the building of a new temple—how it’s put together and staffed—and the first people to come for healing. As more patients are helped, the healers’ particular talents and how they can work together are revealed.
My only concern with this book was the end. It seemed to kind of just fade away instead of having a conclusion. I like a definite conclusion even when I can tell from the plot that the book is part of a series.
Looking forward to the next book in this particular thread of the Tales of Haroon.

A great little read
A story that rolls along and gathers you in like moss. It has interesting characters and a good plot. A very enjoyable read.
