Praise for The Fire Opal:
“Nebula winner Asaro offers a tasty mix of love, action and intrigue in this romantic fantasy set in the same world as The Misted Cliffs...Once again, Asaro skillfully blends romance with a solid fantasy scenario.”
— Publishers Weekly
“Fans of the Aronsdale books and new readers alike will not be disappointed with Asaro’s latest. Even with no prior knowledge of the series, this is one heck of a page-turner!...The writing is crisp, the plot and action are compelling and the sweet ending will completely satisfy everyone. This is an excellent read!”
— Rhomylly Forbes, Romantic Times Book Reviews, 4 1/2 stars
“... part of Asaro’s Luna fantasy series, The Lost Continent. These books are all strongly romantic, and TFO is my favorite yet...Lots of action and a strong romance...The book stands alone on its own even if one hasn’t read earlier books.”
— New York Times best-selling author Mary Jo Putney
“Returning to the realm where The Misted Cliffs and The Charmed Sphere takes place, Catherine Asaro provides the audience with a character driven beguiling and enchanting romantic fantasy starring a courageous Priestess who knows the cost of using forbidden magic, but does so to save a stranger’s life. The gripping story line is fast-paced as Ginger-Sun saves Darz, which makes his assassins her enemy and hopefully prevents the darkening of Taka Mal. Sub-genre fans already know that Ms. Asaro is one of the top RF wizards, but the Fire Opal is her best work to date.”
— Harriet Klausner
