The Law of Becoming (Jaran, Book 4)

Rating:
Summary: The most compelling and haunting series I have ever read.
Review: A voracious sci-fi reader, I consume books. But I am haunted by this series, and want to know when Kate will do the follow-up. Please stop writing the other series (I'm not crazy about fantasy and magic) and let us resume following this fabulous saga.Incredible characters, interesting settings, believable future, albeit a distant one.

Summary: I want more
Review: After "Jaran", which I love (and can exist independently of the rest), the next few have been comparatively disappointing. But this was fantastic. After the book finished I kept dreaming about it. There is just so much depth and potential: in characters and plot. I was a bit sad at the final status of one of the main characters (I'm not going to give it away...) but I'm falling for some of the newer ones. Really you have to have read the previous books to understand much of this book. But if you haven't, you will still enjoy the richly developing characters and the interesting (truly alien) aliens. Speaking of the aliens, I like their culture: long may they prosper!

Summary: unexpected amazing conclusion
Review: After the first book (JARAN), I was enthralled. The 2nd (EARTHLY CROWN) and 3rd (CONQUERING SWORD) kept me right there. BUT, this final book surpassed them all. I had no idea where she was headed & loved where I ended up. In my previous reviews I mention that this is more about cultures & psychological effects, but it is still a page-turning series. My only regret is that it ended. There ARE references to characters who are lesbian/homosexual but her world is a COMPLETE view of humanity & all sexual references are done with complete taste!

Review: and I patiently wait for the next book ... which may be awhile according to the Official Kate Elliot Page. Seems she has been working on other projects, also good reads.

Summary: Write Faster Kate!
Review: Her Jaran series just keeps getting better and better! After reading the first three books at warp speed, I took off about 6 months before reading this one. Man! Her characters have such personality! I hope it doesn't go downhill from here, like Melanie Rawn's books did, trying to maintain so many different characters and their personalities gets very difficult

Summary: Great but wanting more
Review: I have read and reread the Jaran and the King's Dragon series. Both are highly enjoyable. The last novel in the Jaran series is good but nothing like the first two where I can imagine myself as Tess. The rest tend to drift. However I would like to know what happens to Antony in the Chapalian hierachy struggle. Ms. Elliot--please finish the series before going on with more books.

Review: I just completed book 4 of the Jaran series, and am thoroughly hooked into this story! I MUST find out what happens next! The whole series is fantastic, with each book offering new and exciting twists in the story. The only drawback to book 4 is that the reader is left hanging - just when the story gets even better! A highly enjoyable read - highly recommended! However, M. Elliott, would you please continue the story?? Please? It would greatly help this Jaran addict... :-)
