Zusatztext Magic pathways from world to world were a curse! making possible invasion and enslavement! and long ago those paths were closed leaving three worlds and the void between them a hopeless jumble of what had been and what is now. Ian Irvine's A Shadow on the Glass! first volume of his fantasy quartet "The View from the Mirror"! takes us to one of those worlds and to two adventurers! a scholar and a psychic! who find themselves dragged into the conflicts of the mighty and the ambitious. Karan is blackmailed into helping steal a magic mirror! and finds herself on the run from warlords and warlocks; all that Llian wanted to do was find a great story to tell! and clarify some minor ambiguities in the archives of the college of storytellers--but he finds himself expelled and ostracised! and accompanying Karan on her breakneck journeys on high barrens and treacherous rivers. What Irvine brings to the mix is a sense of irony and some intelligent observation of character: Llian and Karan are not your average squeaky clean hero and heroine! and their opponents are hardly villainous! just people acting out the planned treacheries that seemed like a good idea.
