Commentary Supposing Books The Curse of the Mistwraith (The Wars of Light and Shadow #1)
The world of Athera lives in eternal fog, its skies obscured by the malevolent Mistwraith. Only the combined powers of two half-brothers can challenge the Mistwraith’s stranglehold: Arithon, Master of Shadow and Lysaer, Lord of Light.Arithon and Lysaer will find that they are inescapably bound inside a pattern of events dictated by their own deepest convictions. Yet there is more at stake than one battle with the Mistwraith – as the sorcerers of the Fellowship of Seven know well. For between them the half-brothers hold the balance of the world, its harmony and its future, in their hands.

The Curse of the Mistwraith is a book that had been sitting on a shelf in our bathroom for many years before I picked it up and blew off a thick layer of dust. Id never heard of the book but I knew the authors name well because she co-authored (with Raymond E Feist) one of my favourite fantasy trilogies, The Empire Trilogy. Ive enjoyed a good number of other books penned by Raymondy all by himself, but Ive always wondered how much of the magic in The Empire Trilogy came from Janny Wurts.TCOTMBuddy read with the amazing folks at Fantasy Buddy Reads. Special thanks go to Laura the WoLaS-Mom for helping me through this book :)This is one of those books where I'm really not sure how to rate it. There were some elements I thought were great and some I didn't like that much.First of all, I think that Janny Wurts is a very talented author who deserves a lot more attention.The Curse of the Mistwraith is one of the best books I have ever read when it comes to worldbuilding and it features
I know, but I remember it when the Fellowship dudes start trying to protect the planet... Still, it is very hard to remember... I think even for the
Well, either Goodreads has changed the way you can review books, or I didn't see how to post more than one review before. I've read this one at least 3 times, I enjoyed it that much. There are two authors whose writing is dense and difficult but in the end reveals a story both exciting and addictive - Janny Wurts and Dorothy Dunnett. I've read and reread their works and never get tired of them.This first book of what is to be an eleven book series is the introduction to a world of wonder, and
I give up. It's not often I quit a book, especially after having waded through 400+ pages (and it so highly recommended by readers I trust), but I'm going to be the odd man out on this one.The farther I got, the less I liked it. I don't care if either prince dies or kills the other. Two-thirds of the way through they (maybe/kinda/sorta) conquered the Mistwraith, and took up trying to be kings. Paradoxically, the initiate enchantress Elaira seemed the best drawn character.If it had been written
*SIGH* This book is one of those that grips you tightly and takes you you on a journey... The writing is lyrical but comples, with layers of nuance. But the imagery... *speechless* It's not an easy read...it takes concentration to gleam understanding and the characters (and you) are more than put through the wringer. (And yes, there are still certain characters that I want to rip apart with my bare hands.) But...this book is so worth it. It has been over a decade since I first read it and yet
