This is a most enjoyable book. Tria, the heroine of A School for Sorcery, is faced with an outsized tussle -- her elegant, spiteful roommate has a habit of turning into a black panther at times of stress, a hostile male student summons fearsome entities known as Dire Women, and the whole sorcery course looks as if it will come to a cataclysmic end, until Tria manages to call on unexpected reserves of power. This is an elegant, complicated story, at times running into parallel action to perplex the pursuing reader. E. Rose Sabin is a writer to look out for." --Joan Aiken "J. K. Rowling introduced us to the charms and secrets of Hogwarts; now E. Rose Sabin opens up a school for teens who possess equal talents. A School for Sorcery is an excellent study of teens and magic in a very unusual school.” – Andre Norton

"In A School for Sorcery by E. Rose Sabin, Tria has resigned herself to working on a farm and marrying a farmer but thanks to the machinations of her mother she is going to the Simonton School for the Magically Gifted. When she first arrives she is very disappointed because it is a run down place with few students. Her roommate is a selfish, conniving and untrustworthy minx who gets out of work duty and sets one boy against another. Over time, Tria adjusts and even has a date for the mid-winder festival. That happy occasion turns to tragedy when her enemy Oryon uses his considerable powers to send Tria date and his friend into the realm of the Dire Women, dark spirits who dwell in another dimension. Tria has a lot of power but she fears she won't be able to learn how to use it in time to save her friends. E. Rose Sabin is a gifted storyteller whose debut novel will appeal to the J.K. Rowling crowd, as this novel is a teenage Potter-like tale. The protagonist is a thoroughly likable young woman who makes mistakes and learns from them. Her adventures in the school and her interactions with other students make for fascinating reading. It is hoped that this is only the first novel in what could be a great series."

E. Rose Sabin's books are a joy to read
and I'm very happy to know the fantastic worlds that she brings us in.
A School for Sorcery is a book that you can't put aside, it
drives you from one amazing adventure to another. And the following
books are as addicting as the first one. I hope she will keep writing
and I'm really looking forward to read her new stories. Curious were it
will lead us this time...
I found your first book in a newspaper along with a review which caught my attention and the next minute I was calling my mom to buy it. I realized as soon as I read it that I haven't made a mistake and that I bought a masterpiece...I think that your books had a major influence on this love of mine of reading books. |
