Wonderful!

_Harp_ is lovely, enchanting, sad, and very well-written. While surely not at humorous as Wrede's Enchanted Forest Chronicles, it has very good dialog and characterization. I liked it largely because I am a harpist myself (the hero is a minstrel), so if you like music I'm sure you'll like this book. I read it twice without pause between :)
very interesting and well written, but lacking humor

This book was very interesting and well-written, but it lacked any humor whatsoever, which is usually Wrede's forte. However, the plot was very creative, suspenseful, etc. I liked this book and recomend it to all fantasy lovers, that is if you can read anything without a lot of good jokes.
A wonderful (sad) story!

I love the Lyra novels and especially this one. The Harp of Imach Thyssel is really great, but sometimes I got confused keeping track of all the people who trying to get the harp. I also wish they had told more about the history of the harp, and not just the its current situation. I got really attached to the three main characters by the end of the book. If only all the rest of the Lyra books weren't out of print! I'm dying to read Caught in Crystal but I can't find it anywhere!
A Great Book

In this series I find them all to be dark and shadowed, but that makes them all the better. I really liked this book and would have given it a five except that I belive some of her other books are better. This is still a very good book and I sugest you read it. Its a little sad though.
