Beautiful and disturbing,
By
This review is from: The Golden Web (Paperback)
This is a profoundly thought-provoking book, deeply moving and often disturbing. Beautifully written, it is a story of love, sex, magic (both white and black)and madness set against the materialism and mediocrity of modern society. A woderful tonic for the mundane. I look forward to the sequel.

Sensuous & exciting read,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Golden Web (Paperback)
This is a marvellous novel. The prose reads like a blending of the best of Joanne Harris and Anita Diamant, with a magic twist of its own. The main character, named Ellie (though her real name is only uncovered later in the book) is a deep and complex creation who quickly draws the reader into her world and takes us with her on her exciting and revelatory journey. The powerful ending is both shocking and perfectly right.A seductive and scintillating read and one which deserves a wide audience. I look forward very much to the sequel.

Authentic and fascinating,
By Archy (ALTRINCHAM, Cheshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Golden Web (Paperback)
As an authentic insight into Wicca and its workings, this was a fascinating read, and I wonder if other reviewers share the same belief system as the author? As a novel, though, it's not without its weaknesses.
Although the descriptions and the flow of the prose is sustained remarkably well throughout, the characterisation is poor. Only the narrator's voice and character really comes through. There are reams of strange sounding names to grapple with (a commune of 20+ people) and most of them are rather sketchily drawn. For this reason, it's hard to get too involved in the plot, or care overmuch at what happens to the characters. The only real excitement comes near the very end, and the novel is wrapped up so abruptly I found it rather an unsatisfying conclusion. I see there's a sequel, and so the story will continue there. I hope the characters are better drawn. This was an interesting insight into Wicca, but probably not a story I'd want to follow in a sequel.
