Product Description
Product Description
Tie-in to the international TV cult sensation starring Lucy Lawless.
Xena, once in love with conquest and destruction, now fights for the side of good. Though constantly haunted by her wicked past, Xena courageously battles mortals, gods, demigods and monsters, and heroically protects the downtrodden from evil.
In The Huntress and the Sphinx: no one is braver or faster than the legendary huntress Atalanta. Or so she says. And when Xena and Gabrielle are asked to rescue a group of kidnapped children, Atalanta is the first to volunteer. After all, she is the only one who could possibly be strong enough to succeed.
But when they find the kidnapper, Xena realizes that no one is strong enough to defeat it. For who can challenge the power and knowledge of the almighty Sphinx?

Things could be worse . . . .
2 Feb 2001
Format:Paperback
Personnally I found this book entertaining enough to read several times. I admit that characters are not completely true to form. However I suggest an experiment: Write a story about Xena. See how true-to-form perfect your characters are. The story is still a good read.
The plot is a little plain and the fights aren't wondurously developed. Use your imagination to fill in the blanks. It is more fun.

A pretty good book, but.....
9 July 2002
Format:Paperback
This was a pretty good book, but could have been better. The character of Atalanta was already established in Hercules: The Legendary Journies and I had that character in mind when I read it. The Atalanta in the book and the Atalanta in Hercules were two totally different people (the one in the book is a complete jerk!) and that is one of the reasons I didn't like it. Also, the way Gabrielle was acting, too many "Ooohs" and "Aaahhhss". I can actually say I have never seen Gabrielle bite her fist over anything.
I know how hard it is to write about established characters, it's not easy at all. All in all the author did a pretty good job.

when a group of children are kidnapped, xena and gabrielle join
in the search to find them. they are joined by attlanta, who is
a goddess who cannot be defeated. but the enemies that have the
children have other ideals for the 2 fierecest women known in
ancient greece. a decent read for all xena fans.
