Rating:
Summary: If you like Lackey you will love Gladney.
Review: A wonderful tale of war and friendship. The main character, Naga Teot, is full of strengths and weaknesses and quickly becomes very important to you.

Summary: More please
Review: After more than ten years I have finally accuired a copy of Bloodstorm. Friends told me "part two will be a disapointment you are to keen to find it". No such dissapointment was in store here. The characters I had come to care for in Teot's War returned in full force and I am left hoping that one day I will be able to read the conclusion to this epic tale.

Review: Great book that combines adventure, three-dimensional characters and complex relationships. I have reread both books many times over the last ten years and can't understand why she was dropped by Ace. Write the next one please!

Summary: Excellent
Review: I bought the first and second book of the series years ago when first published. I have just finished reading them again. This is one of the few sci fi novels, that I recall, with a middle eastern flavor. Sure there are books like Dune out there but the feel is not the same. Overall an excellent choice, regardless of the fact that there may never be a conclusion to tie up the plot lines of the first and second book in the series, if you can find a copy. I am grateful to the author for responding that there is hope for a conclusion someday. Maybe the publishing community will recognize the value of this series and assist in its conclusion.

Summary: Excellent book, very vivid story
Review: I first read Teot's War when it was first published and have gotten hooked. Since then, I've read it over many times along with BloodStorm and have worn-out the spine on both. I am eagerly awaiting the next series to wear out that one too.

Rating:
Summary: Wish the trilogy would be completed
Review: I greatly enjoyed the first book of this series. It has all the elements that make great escape reading - young protagonist overcoming great odds - but he's far more fully rounded than your standard Mercedes Lackey type - troubled by his past, emotionally stunted by hardship, and struggling as a member of a despised minority with whether or not to protect the leader of an arrogant majority. Second book was acceptable and left you hanging, waiting for the never-to-appear third. If she ever writes a 3rd I wil read it.

Summary: The wait for #3 will have been well worth it--trust me.
Review: I had the unique opportunity to read and review TEOT'S WAR before it was widely available. I was thoroughly impressed then (despite odd editing glitches from ACE), and am no less now. Like many others, I find myself returning to Tan, fascinated by Naga's sweet darkness and basking in Drin's light. In those days I was publishing a smallpress zine called PANDORA, and Heather had a number of fans in our camp. We published an excerpt from BLOODSTORM prior to the novel's publication and phone calls, letters, art, and short stories passed back and forth. We printed one of those, too, didn't we Heather? A lucky few have even heard the music from the operetta based on the tale. It is as haunting and lyrical as the written word. Time changes all things, but if book #3 arrives in the spirit of the manuscript I read so many years ago, fans will be delighted. It was not an "easy" book given the subject matter, and at that time not the "end" of the saga. That part was still in transition and full of really interesting possibilities. I won't betray the author, but I will say you'll be scared, you'll be depressed for at least a while (com'n, we're talking about NAGA after all), and you'll be laughing hysterically at some of the events. It is unfortunate that--for whatever reasons--ACE did not support and nurture this author ten years ago. Chalk it up to life (and death) in the midlists. God willing, all three books will be released together. Work and the "real world" may have intruded on Heather's plans for this series, but rest assurred Heather never lost interest. Hope you see this, Heather. Sorry to have lost touch, and very pleased to have found this site to celebrate the books. I still remember that 6 hour phone call!
