Strands Review, 15 Jun 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Spires of Spirit (Paperback)
Gael Baudino created a magical and intriguing world with the first novel, "Strands of Starlight," a book which ranks among my favorites of all time. Eagerly, I awaited each succeeding novel, but with time I didn't bother and was soon disappointed. Baudino left the world she created and left behind well-loved characters. Readers are left wondering and wallowing in stories which are well written, but ill-conceived.

A wonderful companion piece, 27 Nov 2000
By Aixla - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Spires of Spirit (Paperback)
I was thrilled when I learned Gael Baudino had published a new book in her series on elves and magic! This book gives wonderful new insights into our favorite characters, provides intimate details, and fills the gaps between her previous novels. I would strongly recommend reading the first four (Strands of Starlight, Maze of Moonlight, Shroud of Shadow, Strands of Sunlight) before reading this book, as some plotlines are given away.

By T. Cain - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Spires of Spirit (Paperback)
The stories taking place in the past are wonderful and well written. They're what I loved about Strands of Starlight. The stories taking place in the present seem rushed and undeveloped. It does give some background on the characters in Strands of Sunlight, but its not enough. I really wish Gael would go back to the world she created in Starlight. Varden, Terril, Mirya, Talla...I want to know more about them, not these new elves. I thought Spires of Spirit, with short stories, would give her the perfect opportunity to do this, but she doesn't. She just puts in old stuff about characters most people probably don't care about.
