DESTINY’S STAR brings the CHRONICLES OF THE WARLANDS and the STARS series together in such a way that I never thought possible. Ezren and Bethral are two characters who are skittish around each other because they met in such horrific circumstances. Although they are friends, neither could imagine the other would want to be their lover much less a mate. When they arrive in the Plains, it gives them a chance to be in a “wilder” society where truth is held above all else. The people of the Plains treat sex, love and feelings very openly and find Ezren and Bethral rather prudish. I loved how Ms. Vaughan cleverly addressed Ezren’s wild magic. It was like she knew exactly what she going to do right from the beginning. It makes perfect sense and it brings all the stories full circle. Ms. Vaughan continues to write some of the best stories and I am anxious to return to the Plains in WARCRY. -
