Edge of Light Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I love Julie Czerneda's work, but in this case I just couldn't get past a near-instant dislike of the heroine. Jenn seemed much too childish, self-centered, and impulsive for her age, especially considering that none of the other characters near her age who had grown up under similar circumstances seemed so immature. Foolish decision after foolish decision (on her part) wore me down until reading the story became a chore. "

" A mixed bag. The first 150 pages were a muddled mess. Much was straightened out - interesting characters developed and a place very well drawn - but the full structure of the world's magic never really became unmuddled. I don't mind understanding coming slowly as it comes to the main characters, but I *do* want it to come eventually, and it just didn't here. My only other objection was that the main character made far too many of those silly, stupid, impulsive, teen-horror-movie moves to be believable. Still, I did read all 840 pages, so there was a lot done right. Just not as right as I might have wished. "

" One of the best fantasy books i've read in years. "

" Finished an advance reading copy - loved it! Will win the hearts of anyone who enjoys fantasy in the lyrical vein of Patricia McKillip. "

" I was fortunate to receive an ARC, and I absolutely loved it. Gripping, spellbinding, and fraught with tension. Julie Czerneda is a master storyteller. Her world and its characters will win your heart. "

" This is definitely one of the best fantasies I've ever read. It was very well written, and the characters were well drawn and were intriguing. The plot was entertaining and suspenseful and truly interesting. I loved it. "

" I won this book in a giveaway. It was exciting to find a thick book and easily sink into the story. The world Czerneda creates is beautiful. "

" A Turn of Light is like eating chocolate truffles. It's far too delicious to gulp down in a single sitting. It begs to be savored. It's amazing how much such loving people get themselves into such deep trouble. And it's so very beautiful to see them pull through. "

" This is the best fantasy I've read in a long time. So lush and with such a sense of wonder and joy. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the characters, the story, and the setting. This is a keeper. This is one that should be winning all sorts of awards. Just read it. "

" I don't like this book. I'm tired of the shoeless, impulsive heroine Jenn and the confusing way it's written. But- I want to know how it ends. So someday, I might pick it up again- maybe as an eBook- because this book is heavy! "

" A lovely colorful world. Interesting characters, but a bit slow moving. Good ending. "

" What a fantastic book! I loved the house toads especially. "

" I thought this book was beautiful, wondrous, engaging and constructive. The setting and characters are exquisitely rendered, the ending is satisfying. It was exciting to read and I look forward to more. "

" Storyline is well written and the book is very thick. I did enjoy it. "

" A lot of build-up ... not enough bang. "
