4.0 out of 5 stars not a masterpiece but very very good, 24 Jan 2001
By ctenderini@hotmail.com (Glasgow, Scotland (UK)) - See all my reviews
Perhaps it's not a masterpiece, as a reader said, but for sure it's the best fantasy book I read in the last years, and believe me...I read a lot of fantasy books. The world the author created for us is full of wonderful characters and strecthed over different centuries. I "swallowed" the book in one day...

enjoy

5.0 out of 5 stars Heralds a brand new fantasy master, 9 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This is a splendid romp of a book, exciting and fun, with an obvious depth of thought and great care taken with its formation. The characters are impressive and the author has a commanding understanding of the written word. She puts forth many significant thoughts and themes without bashing you over the head with them, but rather allows the realisations to creep up and take you by surprise.

Treat yourself to this book for the lark of it.
