Star of the Morning by Lynn Kurland



This is the first of the Nine Kingdom books. We meet Morgan and Miach and they meet each other. Morgan (like Sarah in books 3, 4, and 5) intensely dislikes magic. Of course, Miach (whom she finds herself liking a lot in this book) is a powerful mage (and is hiding it from Morgan). And the story goes on from there...

The two couples that the 9 Kingdom series are all about are actually very similar to each other. And they both fight the same evil, but different aspects of it. They visit the same places, they kill the same creatures, they face very similar dangers. All this similarity! It doesn't make the books less enjoyable.

I really liked Morgan in this book, and I liked Miach too. I found Morgan to be a unique character--very different from Sarah. I liked her toughness and lack of emotion. However...... books 2 and 3 didn't uphold these qualities...but I'll write more about that in the next reviews.

A good book!
