Publisher's Weekly Review

Mystifying forces of light and dark continue to rend Ephemera, a shattered world of extraordinary, interconnected landscapes that can be altered by strong emotions, in Bishop's challenging sequel to Sebastian (2006). The Eater of the World spreads its corrupting darkness, and Glorianna Belladonna, disdained and declared rogue for her powers that blend both the Light and the Dark, is the only one who can halt its evil influence. Caitlin Marie, a friendless young sorceress with dark blood, also faces great danger, while her brother, Michael the Magician, is drawn through many perils to Glorianna's side by dreams of a dark-haired lover. Even as their love is kindled, the key Michael brings to cage the Eater of the World may doom Glorianna and take her away from him. Readers encountering Ephemera for the first time may be confused by the complicated, fantastical world, but fans of the preceding installment will revel in Bishop's imaginative powers. (Mar.)

Library Journal Review

In the world of Ephemera, the Eater of the World is slowly destroying its many landscapes. The only person who has the power to stop the Eater, Glorianna Belladonna is called a rogue and is feared by those who do not understand her power over the land. A mystical call goes out, however, and reaches a man called Michael, who arrives driven to find the mysterious woman at the heart of his dreams. Set against a unique fantasy background and filled with intriguing characters, this sequel to Sebastian is another tale of enchanted worlds that belongs in most libraries. (c) Copyright 2010.
