Rating: Summary: Different characters become the book's focus: still good Review: While shifting focus on the main characters (introduced in the first book), the story loses a bit of its punch. It wasn't nearly as exicting to me as the first book and all the jumping around between the various groups is getting very tiersome. Its still an excellent series so far and I would not hesitate to reccomend either book to anyone, I just liked the first books a bit better.The author does want to watch it though, all the characters are becoming postively Brin-like and your head spins from trying to follow all the different threads.
Rating: Summary: If you like Pool of Two Moons, Review: You will love the third book, The Cursed Towers!! I thought Pool of Two Moons was better than the first book, Witches of Eileanan. It was mostly the ending that blew me away, This series is Fantasy how i want it! Im usually this confused girl with my jumble of emotions, but there are certain parts in this book that have sent pure emotions of happiness, rage, and saddness through me. As for my favorite characters- thats hard to say, Meghan, (of course!) Lilianthe, and Jorge. But the real question is- Who is the better twin, Isabeau or Iseult!? (id say Isabeau, hand down and 3 fingers!) But for those of you who are looking to buy this beautiful book- i say stop reading now and click BUY! a great fantasy tale that can't be competed with, original ideas, spectacular characters, and a little humor. --Cursed Towers, June 2000-- ~~Miranda
