Marianne/magus/manti

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful book
Review: "Marianne, the Magus, and the Manticore" is a fascinating and original fantasy. Sheri Tepper's imagery is terrific (the dinner made me hungry!), her prose is lucid and beautiful. A strong and vulnerable heroine, an equally strong and vulnerable hero, some pernicious villains and a great supporting cast. Not to mention one of the most inventive plots I have ever seen in a fantasy. I wish they'd reprint the entire trilogy!

Summary: Fabulous Entertainment
Review: All three of the Marianne books are full of wonder on every page. No one could fail to love Mariane, and delight in her incredably imaginative experiences, in the most original of alternate realities. As deeply enjoyable as the first two are, the third and final book, Marianne, the Matchbox and the Malachite Mouse is even better.

Summary: Marianne Trilogy
Review: Marianne, Magus and the Manticore, is the first in the Marianne trilogy. I picked up a copy of this trilogy at Harrod's in London England when I was travelling in 1992. It's my favourite book, and irreplacable to me. I'm hoping that they will reprint this book at somepoint. I would love to purchase this for gifts. Her dream imagry is amazing. I work in a library and I particularly enjoyed the dream sequence where she is trapped working in the library. It's not unlike nightmares I've had! :-)

Summary: First of a terrific trilogy that should be reprinted.
Review: Perhaps it is because I like to remodel houses myself, but I found the innocuous first page of this book fascinating. The unfolding of the story is vintage Tepper-- clever, surprising, and socially relevant.

Review: The story in this book might have just as well come from my dreams. It is absolutely magical and keeps me coming back looking for a sequel.
