The Last Princess and The Cup of Immortality (The Goddess Prophecies) ReviewI am a "Twilight" fanatic and just finished reading "The Last Princess." I loved this story. It was a real page turner, completely engaging and I couldn't put it down. The relationship between Vivienne, the sixteen year old heroine and Lailoken, her "immortal" boyfriend is tantalizing, romantic. Lailoken is so sweet and powerful, like Edward, and I couldn't wait `til they actually meet in the other world.
I loved the zany characters like Eleanor, wicked Aoibell, Sema, the psychic and the Master of the Souls. I couldn't read fast enough during Vivienne's adventures with Chris on her mad dash to England. Also I loved the magic and spell crafting in the Misty Isle and their way of life. It was so vivid like the forest in the "Avatar" movie. I can't wait for the next book to come out. I think it would make a great movie. After I finished, I went to the web site and listened to the audio book samples where the characters sprang to life with full audio effects. I am not generally an audio book person but this sounded so great, I 'm planning on downloading it too. I definitely would highly recommend this book to anyone who loved the "Twilight Saga", "The Lord of the Rings," or "Harry Potter." It's a bewitching read!

The Ninth Avatar ReviewThe terrifying Carrion Army stalks the foreboding world of the Ninth Avatar. There are escapes and battles at every turn as a desperate group of heroes tries to reverse the fate of the world. It's a gripping read, and I was sad when it ended. I recommend it.The Ninth Avatar OverviewWhen the slain march, prophecy will be fulfilled.The Ninth Avatar iscoming.Wizards have wondered for generations when a human would ascend tobecome the Ninth Avatar, and what would happen when they did.

War of the Gods ReviewThe text begins interestingly enough, albeit somewhat ponderously, as Poul Anderson, one of the greats of Science Fiction & Fantasy, essays once more to travel the mist-shrouded roads of Faery. Writing at least since the fifties (I enjoyed his stuff going back to the sixties), Anderson's "voice" seems to have mellowed and subtly altered with the passing of the years. Never one of the most moving or most profound of tale spinners, he was always, nevertheless, the consummate storyteller. Still this present tale lacks the energy and vitality of his earlier saga-like excursions. While The Broken Sword leaped with life and blood and darkness and Hrolf Kraki's Saga (basically a translation of a legendary Danish-Norse tale, with some additions by the author to make it more contemporary) charged onward from episode to episode until crashing mightily on the rocks of it's own climactic shore, this new tale seems oddly stilted and self-conscious. The language does not pour forth, carrying the reader over the unsure ground of fantasy, as Anderson was wont to do in former days, and the characters he has given us here seem paler than in the past -- and not nearly as interesting as their predecessors were. The protagonist, Hadding the Dane-King, for instance, moves sluggishly from one odd episode to another, always winning his battles and defeating his foes, never seeming to be in any serious danger at all, a circumstance which ultimately seems to tell on him as much as it does on us. And the people around him, as well as his enemies, never seem to be quite worthy of the attention he lavishes on them. Fostered by giants of old Norse legend and lover to his own foster mother (or sister) who adopts human form to be with him, guided by a mysterious one-eyed "wanderer", Hadding ought to be more multi-faceted than the invincible, noble hero we are given. Through much of this tale only the relatively easy-read prose (despite the incorporation of archaic words and forms to set the mood) and the intrinsically promising subject-matter (for those of us who like the Norse thing) keeps you reading. Written stolidly and with far more description than one is likely to find in the real Icelandic and Norse stuff, the tale yet retains the sleepy, dream-like presentation of events and images which is so characteristic of this material in its original form -- a form in which giants are never quite giants as we understand them (for they seem larger or smaller depending on their surroundings) and gods walk about like magicians. Nevertheless, Anderson has here created a tale which, surprisingly and for all its apparent faults, does stand up -- and admirably so, in the end. It is a story of sadness and, finally, understanding -- sketched against a backdrop of adventure and fighting and killing. The last part of the book redeems the slowness and awkward-seeming "forced" prose that went before as the truth of the tale is relentlessly brought home -- how a single life may be more than its appearance alone and how the worlds of fantasy and reality may intersect afterall. It's just a story, Anderson says in his afterword and, indeed, it is that -- but a story which reached me in a largely unexpected way. It takes an historical legend from much earlier times and revives it in a manner which does honor to the source material from which it is drawn while yet placing it in a perspective we moderns can grasp. As The Broken Sword was, no doubt, a young man's breathless and headlong tale (Anderson himself once suggested this in a foreword he'd written somewhat later to that book), so this one is the work of another writer entirely -- one who has lived his life and seen the fullness of it and its inevitable denouement. This one goes deeper than it seemed at the first. And redeems itself, and all of us, for that.
