Green Rider

Summary: A Mix of Lackey and Pierce
Review: This book, while very poorly edited, had its good moments. I was rather suprised by the extreme similarities between this book, early books by Tamara Pierce, and the Arrows trilogy by Mercedes Lackey. If you like their work, you will find The Green Rider entertaining. Next time I urge the editors to use spell and grammer check though. Then we wouldn't be stuck reading passages using the word "now" instead of "no" and the like. When I pay for a hardbound book I know I am gambling with the quality of the writer, but I should not have to be gambling with the quality of the spelling.

Summary: NOT BAD AT ALL, FOR THE FIRST TIME OUT!
Review: Not as meatie as I'd like but definately an enjoyable read. The door is wide open for what could be a great saga. Having read Jordan, Eddings and Kerr, it's very hard to find a series to meet my expectations. Green Rider has definately peeked my interest. Here's hoping Britain takes the charactors to their full potential in the sequal. Too often we're let down in the second and/or third books. I'm keeping my figures crossed.

Summary: GREAT!!!
Review: I loved this book. I thought it was brilliant. It showed that Kristin has a true knack for writing Fantasy novels. The characters were as realistic as they could be, but all in all, I loved it

Rating:
Summary: Pretty good
Review: This book is pretty good. It had its moments where i sat back and said "Ummm that could have been a little better" but overall it was good for a first novel.

Summary: I would give it six stars if I could!
Review: This book was amazing! It took me six days to read, and when I finished, I didn't want it to end. The saga of Karagin G'ladheon and her companion, The Horse, is easily the best book I've read. The details are immense, and Kristen Britain does a great job of characterization. I'm only twelve, but I thought this book was incredibly, I can't stress it enough.

Summary: Wonderful! Can't wait for the sequal!
Review: This was a great book! It drew me in by the first chapter. I couldnt stop reading. There was a good, exciting plot, and good characters. I am anxiously awaiting the sequal and hope there are many more to come!

Summary: So when's the sequel?
Review: Pretty good book. I think the next one will probably be even better. Oh, for a time machine, that I might travel into the future and read this and too many other sequels...

Summary: A BREATLESS TALE OF ADVENTURE
Review: Like those who have already reviewed the book, I could not put it down. Ms. Britain, I believe, will soon be the equal of Anne McCaffrey and Piers Anthony. Karigan is a stron character with real emotions, fears, and hopes. When the sequal comes out, I will be the first in line to buy it!

Rating:
Summary: Immensely disappointing, formulaic, waste of time and money.
Review: While I admire the fact that Ms. Britain astually hammered out a complete novel, I am appalled at the amateurish, throw-away execution. Everything from the author's "voice," to the dissonant dialogue, to the ugly sounds of most character and place names scream out that this book represents the nadir of fantasy writing in the modern age. Not everyone can be a Kay or Martin or Jordan, but it shocks me that this book was even published. I wish I could get my money back. Be warned.

Summary: Impulse made me buy it, the writing made me love it!
Review: I love this book and I can hardly wait for the sequel to come out in the Fall. I was so engrossed in the book that I didn't want to interrupt my reading by going to work, eating, or sleeping. This is an author who will soon be at the top!
