I really thought I would like Caitlin Brennan’s White Magic Trilogy, I really did! The Mountain’s Call started off so well, very Harry Potter-like with the herioine headed off to this mystical school where she was to learn about the White Horse Gods… but as it went on and on and on… it lost its thrill.

The plot, though intending to become more intense, only became more and more dull. The whole plot is culminating in this “Dance” and though it is obviously important to the story, Caitlin Brennan fails to explain why this “dance” is so important. I guess it can change the course of stuff… but who really cares?

Mostly,The Mountain’s Call is made up of lots of sex and torture, two things that in my opinion are not really related, so all and all this book was a stinker.
