Synopsis

In the Enduring Flame Trilogy, Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory have given audiences a new view of the complex and fascinating world they originally created for the Obsidian Trilogy. Jumping ahead one thousand years in time, Lackey and Mallory have told the compelling story of Harrier Gillain, the first Knight-Mage in a thousand years; Tiercel Rolfort, the first High Mage in hundreds of years; and Shaiara, the young leader of a desert tribe who takes both boys under her wing but has a special affection for Harrier.

These three young people are their world's main defense against the evil called up by the rogue Wild Mage Bisochim. Bisochim's conviction that he was restoring the balance was shattered the moment Ahairan took her first breath. Now, in The Phoenix Transformed, Bisochim joins forces with Harrier and Tiercel, and the three mages search desperately for a way to destroy Ahairan as she sends her magical forces against them and the desert nomads under their protection.

I didn't even bother reviewing the first two installments of the Phoenix trilogy. If it wasn't for this trilogy being in the same universe as Obsidian trilogy, I would've stopped reading it after first book. But now, I'm kind of glad - the third book is quite good. Harrier and Tiercel are trying to l......more

Goodreads review by Brittany on August 02, 2010

This was actually a fairly decent story. The problem is that it was diluted over three books, so it came off as three weak books. This one seemed to be the worst of the three with everyone spending an interminable time wandering around in the desert, for no discernible reason. About 400 pages of the......more

The following is as much rant as review, and contains SPOILERS, so continue at your own risk! While the proceeding two novels were far from the greatest books I've ever read, they were pretty good. The plot moved along briskly (and interestingly) enough to keep me intrigued, and the rules of magic th......more

Goodreads review by Jennifer on June 17, 2010

The story makes for a very fun and exciting book. Unfortunately, it was spread out over a trilogy. They insert whining in the blank spots. Seriously, they need to hire some thug to go to writers' conferences and rough up all the would-be trilogy writers. Beat them until they wimper in defeated fear,......more
