I love this series. I didn’t find the generation gaps troubling at all, and was very excited about the different take on the way the series works. It’s a shame they weren’t successful enough for your publisher. I bet if you got the chance to finish the series, and people could see it through to the end, everything would make sense and the true genius of the series would result in far more success than just these three on their own. I truly hope you can finish it somehow. I look forward to reading it when that day comes.
I found the first in a book shop for only 7 euros. I didn’t know why I excatly bought it, but I must say that what ever spiked me to do it deserves the thanks.
Having read half-way trough this book, I must say I haven’t been interested in a fantasy book like this before.
A true jewel in the works of fantasy, yet somehow forgotten. Thanks for writing this fantastic piece of literature!
I just finished Mystic Warrior, and got on to see how far the series goes, because I loved it so much. Will it end at Mystic Empire? This would be truly sad. I read fantasy series exclusively, because once I find a story that I like, I just don’t want it to end, and this one is no exception. Please continue your masterpieces, Tracy. Your fans need you to.
Just finished the books and loved them. Thank you so much for all the wonderful books you have written over the years. You are a truly gifted author.
How could these books not have done well? This was one of the best series I’ve ever read! Mystic Empire was definitly the best and Theona was my favorite charachter. I agree with Kevin it would be nice to find out how the story ends.
It’s a damn shame that these books didn’t perform well. They’re so -good-, and I love how you covered so much time in three books. Quite frankly, it was very refreshing when I could read one book start to finish and get a full story.
I loved this series so much that I bought it twice (once for myself, once for my friend for her birthday)!
I will forever hold onto the hope that more stories are written in this series. I love it!
Let me throw my vote in for continuation of this series. Yes, the gaps in the story threw me, but didn’t stop me. I came here to see if there was anything more in the series after not seeing the next book in the bookstores for a looong time. I HATE not being able to learn the completion of a story. I really, REALLY want to see where this goes! Is there a petition I could sign for support of continuing this series?
I didn’t mind the generational gap that was in this series. It reminded me of L.E. Modesitt Jr.’s Recluse series in that regard. The best thing I can say about your series is that it left me wanting more, so I hope you do get a chance to complete the series.
I just finished Mystic Empire and enjoyed the books thoroughly. I came to this site actually to see what the next book in the series is. The gaps in years between the books threw me at first, but shortly into the second book I came to appreciate the necessity for the time span. New magic needs time to be explored and mastered, and those whose life spans are long ARE continuous characters. Only in the cheesiest novels do the characters master their crafts overnight. I would happily buy the rest of the series if you get to write them.
I’m so sorry to hear that these books didn’t do well. I just finished Mystic Empire this evening and loved every page. It was actually my favorite of the trilogy, with mystic quest following close behind. I hope there is a chance, someday, to see how the story ends.
We do, too, Kevin! Thank you!
I don’t know why I am feeling compelled to write about this series since I have never felt like doing it before with any other. I just discovered the Bronze Canticles series in my local library. I wish I had found it much sooner. I am an avid audio book listener, to the tune of around 400 books a year, and was looking for something new when I found this first book in a series. I admit that the first third of the book made me wonder if it was ever going to get anywhere but when things started to pick up I was hooked. I came to the library today to get the next in the series and found to my dissapointment that it was not in. That led me to this website where I found to my further dissapointment that the series suffered a premature death.
I am truly hoping that a ressurection is coming. I would like to explore with you the other realities and enjoy the metaphors of your character’s lives.
