Sea Glass

By: Maria V. Snyder

Narrated by: Jennifer Van Dyck

New York Times best selling author Maria V. Snyder brings readers into a world of molten magic, where storms can be captured within a glass orb, and a magician's powers can remain hidden...until challenged by enemy forces.

"I can drain a magician of his powers. All I nee d is a glass orb in my hands...."

Student glass magician Opal Cowan's newfound ability to steal a magician's powers makes her too powerful. Ordered to house arrest by the Council, Opal dares defy them, traveling to the Moon Clan's lands in search of Ulrick, the man she thinks she loves. Thinks because another man - now her prisoner - claims Ulrick's desire for blood magic has eclipsed his passion for her.

In hostile territory, without proof or allies, Opal isn't sure whom to trust . She can't forget Kade, the handsome Stormdancer who doesn't want to let her get close. And now everyone is after Opal's special powers for their own deadly gain.

Average book

Any additional comments?

The attraction to this book is the strong female character.

Fantasy genre books for young girls is very important. Ones which shows the "heroine" having independent thought and self direction.

No explicit sex scenes, but main character is fine with casual sex with various men.
So, I classify this book for adults 18+, but the gook is targeted at 11 and 12 yr old girl readers..

Regardless, the plot progresses pretty slowly and the reader does not help.

In light of so many other better books choices, this one is a waste of time.

Awsome story. Love it

Enjoyed listing to the story as each character grew. Love the series. Written beautifully. Beautiful written

Love Love Love

When I first readed the summary of the book it interested me. When I started it I could not stop listening. You love the story the narrator and the characters. Its full of adventure.

WONDERFUL FANTASY

This book was so good, and shone just like the rest in the series. Some series, the other books don't match or measure up to the first, but these did! Read them, you WILL like them.

Opal's grown on me

So much happened in here... and that ending... wow.
One reviewer wasn't happy with Opal's state at the end of the book, but I think it's a really interesting turn. And I can imagine that everything will be resolved in the next one.
And Devlin... he's an interesting one.
If you liked the first book, I recommend this one. I think Opal, and the reader grow on you.I really don't like the council. I get them... sort of. But don't like them.
