As the newly appointed Chalice, Mirasol is the most important member of the Master’s Circle. It is her duty to bind the Circle, the land and its people together with their new Master. But the new Master of Willowlands is a Priest of Fire, only drawn back into the human world by the sudden death of his brother. No one knows if it is even possible for him to live amongst his people. Mirasol wants the Master to have his chance, but her only training is as a beekeeper. How can she help settle their demesne during these troubled times and bind it to a Priest of Fire, the touch of whose hand can burn human flesh to the bone? A captivating tale that reveals the healing power of duty and honour, love and honey.

Assess Based On Books Chalice
I dont know why I keep coming back to this book one I originally gave just three stars but I think this is probably the fourth time Ive read it. This time, because I saw a copy for three euros in Dublin and just had to, had to, had to; up to now, I didnt actually have my own copy, which you can imagine was annoying and of course I had to rectify it.I think the thing is, its such a warm story. Mirasol and the Masters relationship is so tentative, so careful; their attempts to reach out to the

Yeah! Robin McKinley is back in fine form after the disappointing Dragonhaven. I loved this story. Sort of a Beauty & the Beast but with a lot more fire and honey.

Upping my rating from 2 stars to 3 on reread. Chalice is a YA fantasy that has distant echoes of "Beauty and the Beast," a favorite theme of Robin McKinley, but only in the most general sense: a young woman has to figure out how to save a worthy man who is caught in a magical bind.Mirasol, a beekeeper, is the "Chalice" for the Willowlands demesne. The Chalice is one of the most important roles of the Circle, the group of people endowed with magical powers to protect their land. She binds the

Enjoyable - but so confusing and so slow (see: confusing) that I only really had a grasp on the world & its politics after a hundred-some pages. And now that I understand, I feel like I ought to read it again.McKinley does an admirable job of creating a totally distinct world & immersing us in it, as usual, but I swear at one point I was going to give it up, just to get away from 'but she was Chalice', or 'the Chalice must' or 'this, too, was Chalice'. And then she started on with honey.

I always rather suspected I'd reread this book, and now seemed like a good time, when I'm doing a lot of revisiting of other books. It stuck in my mind for a long time, in a way not many books do. I found myself still wondering how Mirasol would deal with certain situations, how she and the Master would get on.I found the worldbuilding fascinating. The idea of a Chalice, the idea of the earthlines, all the roles of the Circle... I still think it would be fascinating to see the Circle functioning

So, don't get me wrong, I am all about the girl-power-plus-magic genre, and this had added beekeeping, so extra points, but I've discovered that I have a problem with Robin McKinley. She builds these fantastic worlds... populates them with interesting and well rounded characters... there is a dramatic build up... and then the book is over. It feels like once she sets everything in motion, she feels it can all be concluded in, you know, four pages. While this is technically true, it feels like a

A beautiful book. The simple, yet lyrical style of the writing reminded me of McKinley's "Door in the Hedge" stories, or her phenomenal "Beauty." I loved every minute of this book, which was romantic and suspenseful, with her trademark humor as well. Charming.
