Summary: Interesting fantasy set in Kabbalistic realm.
Review: A dramatic escape from trite "sword & sorcery" Lilith is an engaging, well-defined story of reincarnation, powerful magicks, and the battle between "good" and "evil."The author's command of the Kabbalistic imagery the story evokes demonstrates his fantastic research for the novel. This is no slapped together story.Characterization is solid, and character interaction is realistic. The plot develops nicely, with requisite twists and turns (the lead antagonist dies and comes back 1,000 years later). In all a fun read; you'll be sure to keep an eye out for the sequels.

Summary: Fantastic Read!
Review: A friend at work insisted that I *must* read Lilith & Ronin, going so far as bringing them to work and leaving them on my desk. At first, I was skeptical, but when I actually sat down to read them, I was hooked. They're great fantasy and get away from the traditional Tolkienesque style that we all know and love and delve into myths that were, at least to me, new and unknown. If the publishers don't release the third book, they are INSANE!

Summary: Educating and entertaining, a truly wonderful book!
Review: Althogh it has some grammatical fallicies, this book is perhaps the best I have read in the past five years. The author has an extensive knowledge of hand-to-hand combat and many insights on religion. The vocabulary is not commonly known, however, a glossary is included in the back of the book. The story is greatly entertaining, yet the best aspect of the book is that it has immense educational value. I learned more about other beliefs from this book than any I have ever read, moreover it inspired me to do research on my own. What Heely lacks in grammatical knowledge is more than compensated by creativity and thought-provoking concepts.

Summary: Fantasy novels are rarely this thought-provoking.
Review: As the first book of a trilogy, this works very well. After a slowish start, the story improves and the characters become more interesting than the average fantasy hero/villain. Putting the concept of reincarnation to use in a fantasy novel is a great idea. It's particularly effective because it leaves one believing that there are a lot more surprises to come in the final books. Fantasy series often leave the reader with the journey clearly mapped out after the first book or so; with this one, the future is a lot less obvious, and so a lot more intriguing. This book triggers plenty of philosophical thoughts, but they flow along with the action rather than distracting from it. The glossary is a good addition as it provides useful background to the ideas used. If you are bored with unoriginal fantasy, check this out for a refreshing change!

Summary: Excellent Book!!
Review: DA Heeley has wrote a gem here. The action is very detailed, the emotions are very human. Heeley clearly has a fluent understanding of occult theory and practice and she implements it flawlessly in this story.Unfortunatley, the third book in this trilogy was never published. I would very much like to see how the main character fared in his final adventures.

Summary: Not JUST fiction, I assure you...
Review: I bought the book cheap 'cause it was on sale at an outdoor rack and the concept interested me a lot. I've been into magick, reincarnation, energy, etc. a lot in the past couple of years and the book seemed interesting enough to try. Boy, was I shocked! The knowledge, terminology, technical details, etc. were SO GOOD that it pulled A LOT of confusing details together for me. If one believes in the NEW AGE SPIRITUALITY that is taking hold all over the world, Thank God, this book and it's sucessors are a MUST. This trilogy, when book 3 comes out, will prove to be more than JUST fiction...there's quite a bit of truth. How much you find depends on your beliefs.
