Question: Has anyone read Book One of this >set? How is it? Anyone else seen this stuff? The first book is called "The Door into Fire" and came out at least four years ago. I thought that it was quite good, particularly for a first novel. The world that she describes has one of the more interesting moral/social structures that I've heard of. I think the "Tales of the Five" doesn't mean that there are five books, but that there are five major characters (although I can only think of four at the moment).
