Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory very first teamed up to write The Obsidian Trilogy, set in a wondrous world filled with magical beings, competing magic systems, and a titanic struggle between good and evil. That world proved so popular with the creators and readers alike that Lackey and Mallory have returned to it with The Phoenix Unchained, Book One of The Enduring Flame, the opening volume of a new epic fantasy trilogy.
After a thousand years of peace, much Magick has faded from the world. The Elves live far from humankind. There are no High Mages, and Wild Mages are seen only rarely. Bisochim, a powerful Wild Mage, is determined to reintroduce Darkness to the world, believing that it is out of Balance.
Tiercel, a young Armethalian nobleman, is convinced that High Magic is not just philosophy. He attempts a spell—and draws the unwelcome attention of Bisochim. Tiercel survives Bisochim’s attack and begins trying to turn himself into a High Mage.
Next in line to be Harbormaster of Armethalieh, Harrier instead finds himself regularly saving Tyr’s life and meeting magickal people and creatures. To Harrier’s dismay, it seems that he must become a hero.
In The Phoenix Unchained, Harrier and Tiercel begin a marvelous journey to uncover their destinies. Along the way, they meet a charming female centaur, several snooty Elves, and the most powerful dragon their world has ever known.

I loved the very first series (The Obsidian Trilogy) and this looks to carry on it's legacy of high fantasy, readability and excitement. I highly recommend it if you liked the Obsidian Trilogy, it carries on it's tradition but is definitely a new series with new adventures and excitement.

Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory have produced another winning book with The Phoenix Unchained. This new trilogy picks up in the same world as the Obsidian Trilogy that was written by the same pair, only now it's 1008 years later in that world. A lot has changed, myths have grown old, and the Endarkened (demons) are coming back into the world. This is the very first book in this second trilogy set in this pair of writers fantasy world and what a great job they've done!

The original obsidian series was pretty good. This one was weak and derivative of the first. If you read the very first series and *really* liked it, you'll probably like this one too.
I hope the third Phoenix book is a bit better when it comes out. I must admit, the last third of the second Phoenix book was starting to get my attention. The very first book and very first 2/3 of the second book were pretty much relegated to developing the characters and setting up the story. That, too me, is an awful lot of time spent getting up to speed.

I have just had my seventh knee surgery and I am always looking for a good book to take my mind off myself and this book gave me a couple of days of entertainment. I am looking foward to the subsequent books.

I think it's appeal may be more for teenagers but I enjoyed it also. I admit to hesitating before buying the 2nd book. This story plodded along at times, kind of dozing at the wheel. When the action sequences came along they were good.
