Our view

“Tris’s Book” gives Tris the grand magic without neglecting the three other young mages of the “Circle of Magic” quartet. Some readers feel close to her, a quiet girl whose gift is weather; others enjoy the warmth with which all four are treated and rate this second volume above “Sandry’s Book”. At 231 pages it is brief.
