I loved this read....
i read this book because i read the Misted Cliffs and The Dawn Star first and then found out that this was originally the first of the series.....*slaps forehead*
but weather you read this one first or the others first like i did it doesn't matter really
Catherine Asaro is an amazing writer and i have read and reread this series about 8 times per book, and i find something new every time,
if your into fantasy, with a little bit of romance, and a twist through magic you'll enjoy every part of The Charmed Sphere as well as the other two in the series

Enjoy every moment taken to read =)
