Our view
“The Sorceress” keeps this series moving at full speed, with action that rarely pauses and backstories worth the detour. Michael Scott braids myth into history so neatly that some readers stop to look things up. As the third volume it continues the story of “The Magician” and is no place to start; anyone who likes fast plots and old legends is its natural audience.
