    Synopsis

    Orb had a rare gift--the magic which manifested whenever she sang or played her harp. No one could resist her music. But she knew that greater magic lay in the Llano, the mystic music that controlled all things. The quest for the Llano occupied Orb's life. Until she met Natasha, handsome and charming, and an even finer musician. But her mother Niobe came as an Aspect of Fire, with the news that Orb had been chosen for the role of Incarnation of Nature--The Green Mother. But she also warned of a prophecy that Orb was to marry Evil. Could she be sure that Natasha was not really Satan, the Master of Illusion, laying a trap for her...?

    Annotation

    Orb, daughter of Niobe, could not resist a man named Natasha, and all was lovely between them until Orb was chosen to be the Incarnation of Nature, the Green Mother. For prophecy said Orb would marry Evil. From the bestselling author of With a Tangled Skein. Advertising in science fiction magazines.

    Library Journal

    A young girl's lifelong pursuit of the ``Llano''the elusive Song of Natureleads her to her destiny as the Incarnation of Nature and tricks her into a bargain with the Incarnation of Evil to halt the world's destruction. This conclusion to one of Anthony's most popular series abounds with the author's love for logical conundrums and coy humor. Recommended. JC

    October 10, 2009: Of the series, I disliked this book the most. Perhaps it was me, but I found the book to be slow and Orb to not be a very engaging character. For me the book doesn't really pick up until about the middle. Though I do find the interaction with Satan and Orb to be interesting enough to keep me reading.

    Ie recommend reading ONLY if you are a fan of the series and have read the previous four books...otherwise, move on.

    I Also Recommend: Bearing an Hourglass (Incarnations of Immortality #2), With a Tangled Skein (Incarnations of Immortality #3), Wielding a Red Sword (Incarnations of Immortality #4), On a Pale Horse (Incarnations of Immortality #1).

    October 25, 2008: Incarnations of Immortality book number 5 was a good read. Being a Green Mother has Orb, the Incarnation of Nature, set against Satan. The twist is that Orb doesn't know if the man she's come to love, Natasha, is actually Satan or not. This book is filled with magical music, magic fish, magical stones....it's a pretty magical book! I found it more enjoyable than much of the series. It was an entertaining read. Now....on to book number 6.
