5.0 out of 5 stars Quintessence of dark fantasy, 12 May 1998
By A Customer
Bailey weaves a plot unbelievably believable. He has a thousand twists, most of which are unforseen yet set up. Looking back in the book, you'll find yourself wondering how you missed it, until the next twist comes at the turning of the page. The characters are alive with real human motivations, and the magic is a subtle thread woven throughout the story, something that dominates from the background. Don't expect any knights fighting dragons with enchanted swords -- the magic is rare and powerful, with a price that makes one understand its scarcity. Although there is some bisexuality (gasp), it's done masterfully well. There are no gay parades, no coming-out chapters. It simply is, something portrayed neither as good nor evil, right or wrong, but simply as there. All of this combines with a storyline that puts most soap operas to shame, yet still is ruled by cause and effect rather than "coincidence". The only weakness is that it may be more than most are ready for, as it is very much both dark and fantasy, neither of which the mainstream is particularly fond. If you enjoy either, though, this book will take your breath -- and sleep -- away.

5.0 out of 5 stars thoroughly recommended, 31 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I bought this book mainly because I liked the title and I like being surprised by fantasy that is not in the mainstream. The book is very dark but not without hope, I enjoyed the book, liked the way the story was told and have reread it a few times. It is still a book I find a little disturbing, though enjoy the way the 'mature themes' are dealt with.
