    Magic isn't always great
  

*by K***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 28, 2007*

Sadima lives in a world where magic has been banned, leaving the country people victims to fakes and charlatans.  One such magician caused the death of her mother. Sadima's father forbides her to have anything to do with anything magical.  Later, a strange man comes to her home and nothing will be the same.Centuries later, magic has been restored but only to the wealthy and is controlled by wizards within a hidden academy of magic.  Hahp, the expendable son  of a wealthy merchant, is forced into the academy.  Only one student will survive to graduate.Both Sadima's and Hahp's stories are separated by generations but they are connected.At first I found the different points of view jarring.  I was more interested in Sadima's story and how she had to hid her gift of communicating with animals.  Only later, once Hahp is inside the academy did I start to see how the stories connected.This is an original storyline that shows maybe magic isn't all that great.  The magicians are shown as uncaring and cruel. I cared for Sadima and Franklin and hope in the next book something good comes from them but I doubt it.

    Skin Hunger: a Resurrection fo Magic
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 16, 2009*

This book was interesting in that it is told from the point of view of two different characters.  Sadima is a young girl whose mother died in childbirth while being attended by a magician.  Her father forbids any magic.  Franklin, a young wizard, finds  her tending her sheep  and recognizes a gift she has, and invites her to come to his town.  Her life takes a turn when her father dies and she sets out to find Franklin and starts taking care of the place he shares with Somiss, another wizard.  This takes place during a time that magic is outlawed  The other part of the story is told from the point of view of Haph, during a time when everyone is using magic.  His father hates him and takes him to a wizards academy knowing he will probably never see his son again.  Haph must learn the magic if he is to survive.  The academy's founder and one of the wizards who instructs them are the same ones from Sadima's story, Franklin and Somiss.  There is so much that keeps you turning the pages.  I will definately buy the sequel, Sacred Scars.  I can't wait until school starts so that I can put this book on my shelf for my students.  There is some minor cursing and the F-bomb is used once.  However, I don't believe it would deter most people from reading the book.

    Excellent
  

*by A***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 17, 2010*

This is one of the best books I have ever read. The writing is detailed and suspenseful. I felt the characters were well-rounded and I sympathized with them. I got angry at the antagonists, which is a sign of a good book. I read this book in a short amount of time-probably two hours-because it was so good. I like how the book goes back and forth between the present and the past. I thought this book might be pretty dark for young readers, but it was great for me. The writer didn't hold back on the characters and nothing in the book turned out like I thought it would. I thought since the children were being taught magic, and that they were from rich families, that nothing bad would happen to them. Some of them actually died, which surprised me. I honestly thought this would be something like Harry Potter in the latter books because in the end, those books were pretty dark. This seems darker at times. There aren't as many characters to keep track of like the Harry Potter books, which I actually appreciate. It helps because you can get more involved with a shorter set of characters. I would recommend this book if you like magic, interwoven stories of past and present, and dark books.
