Rating:  Summary: GREAT rock & roll fantasy Review: This is a beautiful, brilliant rock & roll fantasy about a harper from the land of Faerie who forms a heavy-metal rock & roll band 2 try & blast a hole thru reality & retrieve her lost love from The Other Side -- & it works. The adventures on The Other Side I found kinda boring, truthfully, but the main story is heartfelt, involving, vivid, & Baudino has the rock & roll Dtails down solid. The feeling of Bing in a rock band is perfectly evoked, & the way the heroine's faith, confidence & optimism rescues not only her lover but her bandmates makes 4 a glorious happy Nding. Not sure why this book failed 2 sell a million copies, but it's 1 of the great overlooked fantasies of R time. Fans of GOSSAMER AXE might also Njoy Lewis Shiner's GLIMPSES, which tackles some of the same tuff life-issues in a rock & roll framework.
Rating:  Summary: Gossamer Axe Review: This pagan lesbian rock and roll fantasy is one of the best books I've ever read. Sadly it's far and away the best thing Ms.Baudino (one of my faves) ever wrote. I've read it at least six times and it is one of the three books I buy up every copy I see and pass out like trick or treat candy. It is the story of Christa, an ancient pagan druid harper in modern day colorado. And her quest to use heavy metal to free her lover from the clutches of The Fey. The music scenes are realistic as is the human interaction. I reccommend this book to anyone who likes pagans, heavy metal, or lesbians
