A Beautiful Book, 29 Mar 2000
By Jennifer P. Hough - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Maze of Moonlight (Paperback)
This is the kind of book that (along with Gael Baudino's other elvish novels) creates it's own universe, it's own logic and it's own magic. It's one of the books I read over and over, just to go back there. The characters have believable passion and purpose, and everything really is touched with an otherworldly kind of light. I'd love to say more, but I'd hate to give anything away. It's better to just read for yourself a few times...

Second time's the charm..., 2 July 2003
By "bhenrudha" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Maze of Moonlight (Paperback)
When I first read this book, when it was published, I was *so* excited that I would get to see more of Gael's Elves. Strands of Starlight was so haunting, so beautiful...I couldn't stand it.So I immediately started Mazes of Moonlight and found that I wasn't going to be reading about those characters that I had fallen in love with in the first book. My disappointment tainted the reading and I came away feeling that this was the least of the Children of Elthia books.
Years later I decided to reread the series, this time really paying attention to the way they were written and to the individual stories told. Mazes of Moonlight ending up being just as powerful, just as moving and easily on par with the rest.
So for those who read Strands of Starlight and who felt some disappointment in Mazes of Moonlight...give it another chance...it's so worth it. For those of you trying to decide of the series is worth it...I cannot tell you enough that you need to read these books, all of them. They are some of my all time favorites.

A captivating blend of history and myth, 20 Jan 2000
By Carl Martin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Maze of Moonlight (Paperback)
I found this book,the second in a trilogy, almost impossible to put down.It is a beautifully written blend of Historical fact and (is it really) fiction. Gael Baudino exposes the hipocracy of the Church and the damage caused by the Papal schism on one hand; and the beauty and power,of unconditioal love and positive thought on the other. I found myself recalling the words of Martin Armstrongs poem "The Gage" (Man afraid to be alive shuts his soul in senses five). I believe that the thoughts and ideas evoked by this book will continue to influence my thoughts and actions for the rest of my life. Can't wait to get my hands on the third book of this trilogy.
