Kirjaudu LibraryThingiin nähdäksesi, pidätkö tästä kirjasta vai et. Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. Just entering this as a "tried to read." Fantasy of this style is not my thing and I did not feel engaged as a reader. Also saw it as a coming of age teens book which is out of my reading needs. Did skim the plot however and found the writing style beguiling. But slow... I was into holiday reads and who dunnits at the time. näyttää 2/2
Justly described as the queen of children's fiction, Margaret Mahy – now 73 – is still the most arresting guide to the upside-down world awaiting any child starting their journey towards becoming a teenager.

A young farm boy who possesses mysterious powers is chosen by the king to be the court's royal magician. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

But the boy, realizes quickly that he does not want his destiny to be determined by his new title. He wants to be the man he decides he wants to be. He realizes that his powers can be a dangerous thing and that some people would stop at nothing to control them, and if they can't, they would destroy them.
Ultimately this seems to be a coming of age story. Heriot spends his life trying to find out who he really is and what he is really supposed to do. He realizes that neither of these have answers that anyone can give him but himself.
