xena and gaby are as usual setting out to help someone in need, in this case former queen, Helen of troy. all the regulars play a part in this story, but sadly it does not live upto the tv series and that is why it only deserves 2 stars. the story line just did not keep me interested and that is a first for me!

At least it ends...

This is a sad end of a very painful series. All three books just don't seem to fit in the 'Xena' Universe. And the ending, while being right out of a Greek style play, is not really fulfilling. Don't get me wrong, I want books to be made about Xena, BUT by somebody else! I don't need to know every little detail of a dusty trail or a copper cup or the deep blue sea.

Very Cool!

I think that this book has a very satisfying ending, and that any die-hard Xena fan should have it, in addition to all the other Xena books that this fantastic author has written.
Tastes great, less filling

While I absolutely love everything to do with the Xenaverse, I was a little disappointed with this conclusion to Ru Emmerson's series. The story was good, but it was kinda out of a Greek drama (hmmm... guess I shouldn't complain since it's about a couple of ancient Greeks) but after all the buildup in the first two about how difficult it was going to be to find Helen, I was dimayed how how absurdly easy it ended up being and the whole segment in the maze was not very believable. I also had some difficulty with her portrayal of Gabrielle and her relationship with Xena... finding it difficult to place exactly when during the series this might have taken place.
On the flip side. Will I keep this book in my collection? Yup. Will I read this book again? You betcha.
