Impulse buy turned out well!
19 Dec 2005
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I bought this on impulse from the grocery store, despite the ugliest cover art for the year 2005 gracing the cover. I have read Judith French before & basically enjoyed her writing, so I thought I couldn't go far wrong. And this is a good historical novel, and less a romance novel than one would initially think from reading the back cover blurb. The subplots enrich & enhance the main story of Kiara, the kidnapped Irish slave girl, and Alexander (son of Alexander the Great). I had a few problems with Alexander; he's not such a great "hero", being rather self-absorbed and shallow at times, but he did improve by the end of the story. However, Kiara was a well-drawn heroine, and I enjoyed all the subplots, though I regretted the seemingly abrupt ending of Shashi's romance (don't want to write a spoiler, but the loss of a certain character was regretable).
A solid three stars, because as much as I unexpectedly enjoyed this novel, I don't think I want to read it again & again, the way I want to read my keepers. Well written, well plotted, with more depth than the usual historical romance, but just not a keeper for me.

The Warrior
3 Dec 2005
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The son of Alexander the Great and his beloved Roxanne has come of age, and now goes to Egypt to claim his former step-brother's half sister for his bride, making a powerful alliance for the Twin Crowns. However, Roxanne's worst fears come to pass and Alexander IV finds betrayal in Egypt. He also finds an Irish priestess who becomes his source of hope and help in his hour of need, and perhaps more than that. Back home, there is chaos as well. Angry with Roxanne for risking her life in an attempt to give him a son, Kayan has taken their youngest daughter on a military mission while Roxanne's pregnancy runs its course. He and the girl are heading into terrible peril. Roxanne's health is uncertain, and their other daughter is forced to decide whether to hide in the safety of the temple or rise to the duty of her heritage. It may be Roxanne's darkest hour as every one of her loved ones is on the brink of death, or it may be her finest hour.
**** Multiple stories weave together into a seamless saga that is thrilling and heartwarming at once. If you have read the first two books, then this is a must read. ****

The Warrior Rocks
25 Jun 2007
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I read the Alexander trilogy in 3 days...found myself compelled to continue on...The Warrior was awesome but I found myself wanting more of Kiara and Alexander together. My biggest disappointment is of course Prince Val...perhaps a fourth installment can be added titled The Resurrected or The Returned Soldier?
I found myself hating Queen Artakama all over again, finding King Ptolemy despicable, and their daughter Mereret a horror.
Admittedly, while I enjoyed this book, I found myself skipping over some of the "landscape" details and going past the Ava subplot as quickly as I could. I found myself longing for more "relationship" interaction between Shahi and Val and Kiara and Alexandra.
The ending was full of action and suspense...though admittedly, I would have preferred for one more character to prevail and am hopeful he will yet. All in all, a good read. Additionally, I liked Alexander's ghost making his appearance again...whether as a guide or a conscience, it did add to the story.
