    What a wonderful book. I loved how the author looks at how it might be for a horse to become human and how she has to deal with all the strangeness. You really could feel how the horse/person was struggling with new sensations that a horse would not know about and how as a human, many of the horse characteristics were still there like swishing a non-existent tail. So very wonderfully written. All the other characters were developed with great care as well so that I really became attached to them and cared what happened to them. The story really held my interest, page after page and I was sorry to see it end. Looking forward to the next book in the series. A great read. Recommended for any horse lover and fantasy readers.

    This story takes us inside the mind of a horse and shows us how that horse might respond to becoming human. Feels very real. Kept me interested all the way to the end.

    Wonderfully written with a bit of romance on the side. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Even if your not fond of magic books you could still like this one as it has just the right mixture of suspense, action, thinking, and direction! Loved it!

    I enjoyed the author playing with the idea of a horse becoming human. The romance was nice and not overbearing. There were enough questions raised to keep a person interested in the series. The writing flowed well. I somehow lost a little interest during the climax, but then action is not my favorite genre.

    This was fun to read. I loved the way the horse became human in shape, but had to learn to behave human, and still had horse thoughts and feelings, and learning how to recognize and handle the human side. Done very well, and lots of fun.

    This books magic weaves itself around you until you refuse to put it down. A touch of adventure along with the magic grips the imagination.

    I think it is fair for me to say that with my very busy life, I am still reading it. I am finding it to be original, imaginative, surprising, an enjoyable read. A very refreshing change from the run of the mill obsession with murder that seems to plague most authors nowadays. I might submit a more complete review later on.

    This was very interesting read. The book starts on a world of magic. 4 beings from that world are pulled threw time and space to our world. 2 of them are changed from horses to the form of people, yet they still have the mentality of the horse. One is not so lucky and is struck and killed in traffic when he runs out in a panic. The other is luckier, the people who find her are sympathetic, and think she suffered a trauma, and take her home and dress her. She stays quite until she can start talking back and she quickly learns how to help and makes her self useful at a riding academy. She makes friends But needs to find her friend and rider. she makes her needs known to her friends and the drama takes off. Read it to find out more.

    This was a gorgeous book. So good. The characters were really great, especially Jess and Jamie. Dun Lady’s Jess is a horse who works for Carey, a courier for a wizard in a world where magic is real. The wizard has just discovered a spell that allows for travel between worlds and sends Carey and Lady with the spell to another wizard to get a checkspell created for it. Unfortunately, they are attacked by agents of yet another wizard who wants to steal the spell for herself. In the attack, they all fall off a cliff and wind up in the modern world we know. And in the process, Lady turns into a human and is separated from Carey. She has a difficult time understanding what has happened to her. Learning to move like a human is difficult, never mind trying to figure out how to talk. Fortunately, they apparently speak English, or some language as near to it as makes no difference, in the world she is from. But still, trying to understand the people who find her, and to make them understand that she is really a horse and that she wants to find Carey, who is nowhere to be found in this new world, is next to impossible. Dayna, the woman who first finds her, has issues of her own, is convinced that Jess (as they call her when she has finally made them understand her name) is mental and needs to be in an institution. But Eric, Dayna’s boyfriend, convinces her that they should at least take Jess to see Jamie, a woman who trains and understands horses before they take such a drastic step. Jamie is more sympathetic and offers Jess at least temporary shelter and a job doing something she can understand. They eventually become friends. And then the man who wounded Carey shows up, looking for his equipment, and they start to get a clue where Carey might be. And things begin to get really strange. And dangerous. Eventually, the spell returns them – all of them – to Jess and Carey’s world. Jess is once more a horse. And they must still get the spell to Sherra for the checkspell.
