Touchstone
was the first book in this thought
provoking trilogy. It was a behind the
scenes look at theatrical production powered not by animation but magic. Touchstone is a theatre group struggling for
success and identity. In this volume,
Touchstone has had some success but made some enemies and allies in the
process.
Political intrigue is
introduced in this book. It is not
apparent who is behind it until the final pages and then it is dealt with
circumspectly. This book shows more
depth on the characters and explains Cayden Silversun's elsewhens.
His elsewhens might be described as precognition of a limited
nature. Cayden is particularly concerned
with the elsewhens referring to his glisker, Mieka.
Cayden feels that what
Touchstone can do through theater is nothing less than change his society. Again societal ills are shown such as
discrimination, prejudice, poverty and more.
This is the second book in the
trilogy, I look forward to reading the rest of the series.
I recommend the book.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
