Harp of Winds is brilliant. It is the second book in the Artefacts of Power quartet (the first was Aurian). I highly recommend this series of books, Maggie Furey's writing is such that you never get bored.

There is only one thing which I can say against this book. There are so many times when you begin to feel that nothing will ever go right for the main characters but then again it just makes it better when something good happens! ... Read the complete review
