Summary: Very enjoyable series. I agree they are best read in order.
Review: All three of the Crossroads books are good. I'mjust writing as a public service -- Amazon has oneof the three listed under an alternate spelling of the author's last name so you need the book title to pull it up in a search. The title is "Under the Healing Sign." Enjoy!

Summary: A right ripping good yarn with fun and intriguing characters
Review: Having read all three of Nick O'Donohoe's books in the Crossroads series, I can gladly recommend them to all who enjoy strong, well-developed characters and intriguing situations and characters. It should appeal to all fans of fantasy, and to many others as well. One word of caution, though. You should read the books in the order in which they are written, since Nick doesn't back-track in his explanations much. Luckily, all three books are available from Amazon

Summary: Healing of Crossroads
Review: I enjoyed this book, although not quite as much as the other two in the series. I think that the author did leave an opening in this book that would allow him to write another. I hope he does write another for the series. This is a series which is best read in order since it is slightly difficult to follow some of the plot lines and people if you do not. This book is sadder than The Magic and the Healing but, not as sad as Under the Healing Sign. Even with the slower pace I read this book in one sitting. I wanted to know what happened to BJ and the rest. Read it you will love it, but read the first two first and you will love it more!

Summary: Try his books if you haven't yet!
Review: I really enjoyed this book. Probably not as much as the first book in the series, though.
This one, however, had some interesting twists to it. If you are looking for a new fantasy series to read, I definitely recommend this series, but
start with "The magic and the healing". Then read the next two books (this is the third). I can't wait for Nick to write another book in the series - Are you listening, Nick? Maybe tell the story of one of the minor characters in one of the earlier books or something like that.

Summary: Enjoyed the first two books more
Review: I really loved and highly recommend the first two books in the Crossroads series, but I did not enjoy this book nearly as much. The characters were very underdeveloped and the plot very stiff compared to the other books. The plot was filled with so many twists and so many new characters were introduced that not enough attention and detail was devoted to any of them. I hope that another Crossroads book will be written and the characters explored in more depth.

Summary: Good, though not as good as the first two Crossroads books
Review: O'Donohoe continues to develop the Crossroads setting in this third installment of the series. He continually adds new characters, which keeps things from getting dull or repetitious, and allows the older characters to develop well, but things get rather cluttered in this book. As a result, numerous personalities are shortchanged and given few lines or deeds. The combination of real world situations, myth and pure imagination remains solid. Recommended, though not as much as the first two books.
