Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

The monasteries take in orphans. Kalinda is one of the sisters in a monastery in the mountains. She has been an orphan and taken in when she was young. Kalinda has always been prone to fevers and is rather slim, not the physically strongest. But she is very head-strong and determined.
What she does not know is about her special powers, about the Rajahs's plans for her, about how despicable humans can be and about love. All things she will learn before long.
The story is quite predictable and reading it without knowing who is the author, I could tell, from the love story, it was written by a woman. The ending is not a real ending, making it more desirable to get the next book in the series. All in all I think of this book more in terms of a love story with a little fantasy sprinkled in than the other way round.
