Rating: Summary: Not you run of the mill type of heroine!!! Review: To be honest, I had mixed feeling about this book!! The book wasn't at all dull but it reminded me of how I feel towards The Conan the Barbarian and Alien movies. They weren't great excellent movies but they were still good. Well, that's how I feel towards this book. I love C.J Cherryh later works... this collection were her earlier works. In my opinion, I think, at that time she was trying to find her place in the writing world.I believe the more she had written the better she got!! I think she is a great writer and knows how to executes her characters flawlessly. Her characters Morgaine and Vanye were complex, strange and unusal to understand. I feel thier relationhip was very complicated, if it wasn't, it wouldn't be a good story. This book was exciting at times but I feel somehow its still missing something!!
Rating: Summary: Thee should read this book Review: Well, to start with, I'm an avid book reader (I usually read over 5 books a week!). However, I also have a pretty good memory, so once I've read a book, I usually remember the plot. The result of this is that I only feel like re-reading books months later when the storyline has started to fade in my mind. Once I finished reading the Morgaine saga, I felt listless, so I immediately picked up the book and read it again! The second time around, I noticed many more subtle things that I missed in the first thrill of the action. I loved this book! (If you're into heroines, I suggest you read Robin McKinley's books...Even though none can match morgaine!)
