Chronicle In Pursuance Of Books Moon of Three Rings (Moon Magic #1)

This tale set on an alien planet could almost be a fantasy given the setting of a feudal society in which warlords scheme against each other and an outsider race who were once dominant but have become roamers, preferring to live in symbiosis with animals. It starts with the male protagonist, Krip Vorlund, who goes to a 'beast show' while ashore: from a Free Trader ship, he and his comrades are meant to look out for trade goods that might sell well offworld. They have come at a time when a fair is held, and the rules of the fair mean that the various warlords are not meant to cause trouble, the fair being neutral ground - but a hothead son of one of the warlords is encouraged to do so in an attempt to win over the others, egged on by offworlders from a rival ship.

The book then switches between his viewpoint and that of Maelen, the alien woman from the outsider race, who runs the beast show. The intelligent animals that accompany her are friends with whom she shares a mental bond. Maelen is approached by a representative of the troublemaking ship who wants her to lure Krip - she doesn't co-operate but inadvertantly is drawn into a sequence of events which involve kidnapping, murder, body swaps into animals, raids on peaceful settlements and her having to answer to her own superiors for what she has been compelled to do.

After finishing the book, I found out it was the start of a series and this didn't surprise me as the ending is a set up for such - (view spoiler)[ as Maelen has to go offplanet with Krip, in beast form to atone for what she has done (hide spoiler)]. I didn't find the story compelling sadly; I really enjoy the author's Witch World series, but somehow couldn't get into the characters and didn't find the motivation of the various villains believable. So can only rate it as 2 stars.

Commentary About Books Moon of Three Rings (Moon Magic #1)

This is my third time reading this book (January 2014). I first read it, probably way back in high school, and I remembered that I loved the story. But I couldn't remember the details, except that someone was turned from a man to a beast, so I have typed the details here to help me remember the story in the future. The writing is almost lyrical, and the action is fast-paced. Still as wonderful as I remembered it."I spin from world to world because it is a way of life to which I have been born

I first read this in High School. I can't remember how many times I checked it out from the library. I thought it a most magical and wondrous story. A great blend of sci-fi and fantasy. I went on a quest of my own and found the exact library copy from the great evil Amazon. I read the book again a few years ago. I still love it and think its a most magical and wondrous story. You will never change my mind. And through the joys of the interwebs I discovered 3 more books to follow!Read Again for

I found the first person prose style of Nortons to be without urgency and a little lifeless. The female protagonist was interesting, but the story told from the male protagonists point of view was totally boresville. Dropped it after about 90 pages. It sounds like the story improves after that, but I couldnt connect to the writing style.

This book was alright. Good idea but I felt like most of the battle scenes or anytime the main character saw something new to him, the author could have discussed it a bit more or been a bit more descriptive.

This was one of the first science fiction novels I can ever remember reading. I checked it out from the Amory Public Library in 8th or 9th grade, and it rocked my world. So alien. So exciting. So... mind-blowing.It's still a good book, and hasn't aged badly at all. And I found I could read it with fond memories of that young girl who fell in love with Andre Norton on the spot and voraciously read everything she could find by that author. I also still remember how astonished I was when I finally

One of my favorites since I discovered Norton as a kid. The seamless blend of SF and Magic, the emphasis on personhood and knowing who you are, strong protagonists (male and female alike), all make this a really fine and enjoyable book.

Where would SF and Fantasy writing have been without Andre Norton? She made many readers enjoy SF/Fantasy. She wrote about strong female characters way back before the 'Female Eunuch' and gave female readers a taste for SF/Fantasy. For years she was the only serious writer of this type of story and was she ever a story teller.The novels about Krip and Maleen are among my favourites.
