Woven in Life's Tapestry (The Adepts of Calluna) 1 review Lesley Davis, 2006
A nice book
This is the third book of the series of Calluna. There are only very slight references to the two previos books. None of the characters are from the other books either. It works, this book did have suspense in it as you never know who the bad guy is til late in the book. But also it ends a ...

Spires of Spirit 3 reviews Gael Baudino
Roc, 1997
A wonderful companion piece
+ A very good book. I recomend it.
I was thrilled when I learned Gael Baudino had published a new book in her series on elves and magic! This book gives wonderful new insights into our favorite characters, provides intimate details, and fills the gaps between her previous novels. I would strongly recommend reading the first four ...

Dragonsword 1 review Gael Baudino
Roc, 1991
Fantasy at it's best
I got into the fantasy genre fairly late, and this was the first book that I read. The characters are finely drawn, and as the mystical and mistical world of Gryylth and it's inhabitants become solid, you really do want to find out what's going to happen to Alouzon, Dythragor, Marrget, Wykla, and ...

The Traitor And the Chalice (Lyremouth Chronicles) 2 reviews Jane Fletcher
Bold Strokes Books, 2006
A story of mystery and adventure that keeps you reading
+ An excellent sequel, worthy of the series
"The Traitor And the Chalice" is the 2nd installment of the Lyremouth series. In Book One "The Exile And the Sorcerer (Lyremouth Chronicles)" introduces two main characters Tevi & Jemeryl and how they encounter. The main mystery is that chalice and finding it is Tevi's "quest". Who brought it to ...

Return to Isis 7 reviews Jean Stewart
Rising Tide Press (AZ), 1992
She caught me by surprise
+ Enjoyable Read... + Amazon Sci-Fi
For a long time, I avoided reading Jean Stewart's Isis series. I was under the misconception that they were the stories of Amazon women in some past or alien society. Only recently did I learn that they are post-apocalyptic stories...and I LOVE post-apocalyptic stories. So, I started the series a ...

The Red Line of Yarmald (The Hadra Series) 1 review Diana Rivers
Bella Books, 2003
New Fan
I am not a particular fan of lesbian science fiction fantasy but there is one author I will read again and again, her name is Diana Rivers. Her Hadra characters are more than your average "smultzi" lesbian sci-fi fantasy heroines. They have developed powers that go beyond "gaydar" into the realm of ...

Duel of Dragons (Dragonsword) 2 reviews Gael Baudino
Roc, 1991
Alouzon Dragonmaster searches for the Grail
+ Gryylth faces new threat
The best book in the trio, DoD brings in Sol's exwife, and gives Marrget, and Wykla something to live for. We also get to go deeper into Alouzon's psyche. Not for the faint at heart, I highly recommend this book and the rest of the trio.

Clouds of War 2 reviews Diana Rivers
Bella Books, 2002
Unfortunate letdown
It is unfortunate that this book is not at all like the others. I was very disappointed in the way the story was told, as well as the shallowness of its characters in comparison to the other Hadra books. One thing I believe made the other books better was that they where written in the first person ...

Roc, 1992
Dragon Death - Dragonsword Vol. III
Dragon Death is the third in the series by Gael Baudino, known as Dragonsword. The series in itself is on of the most powerfull, most moving series of books I've ever read. Layer upon layer of magic, love, hate, treachery, light, and dark fill the books page after page ending in the stunning ...

The Empress And the Acolyte: Lyremouth Chronicles 3 reviews Jane Fletcher
Bold Strokes Books, 2006
An Engrossing Story
+ An excellent installment for this imaginative series + The empress and the acolyte
"The Empress and the Acolyte" is the 3rd installment of the Lyremoth Chronicles, though the book itself can be considered as a stand-alone. And it is as fascinating as before.
After completing the previous assignment, Jemeryl and Tevi stayed in Tirakhalod for more than two and half years so that ...

The Dove Looked In (Book II of Water!) 3 reviews Gael Baudino
Roc Fantasy, 1996
...An' ne'er the twain shall meet.
That's how I usually end up describing how I believe people will feel about Baudino's "Water!" trilogy. Either you love it, or you hate it...an' ne'er...well, you get it. So why did I love it? Mostly it was the challenge. There's *so* much going on in these books that sometimes I just had to sit ...

Shroud of Shadow 6 reviews Gael Baudino
Roc, 1993
A story in the best tradition of Science Fiction/Fantasy
+ Last Elf trys to find hope!
The best of science fiction/fantasy doesn't just tell old worn familiar stories with new props (dragons instead of horses); it helps us live another vision, another time in history, another point of view. It challenges our thinking, makes us walk in the other persons shoes, and kicks our butts out ...
