Summary: Memorably disappointing
Review: I bought this book when it first came out, and the disappointment of it has stayed with me to this day. Unfortunately, it's been so long ago that I don't remember the details anymore. I remember being intrigued by the world she created, but the characters didn't appeal to me and the ending was nonsense without the sequel(s).On the plus side, I still recall the author's name and reading this book nearly ten years after the fact. On the negative side, that memory has kept me from picking up any of her other books.

Summary: good, but....
Review: This book had a wonderfull plot line, and unique ideas, however, there wasfar to much....love making (shall we say) scenes, and it greatly took away from the plot.

Summary: An intricate work of people in a twisted future
Review: this is the first of Bush's "Pride and Pattern" trilogy, and the best book in the trilogy at that. the book follows the changing relationships between three people, King Abelard, Nydia the witch, and Phineas the captain of the Guard. After saving Nydia from execution Abelard decides to use her against people who stand in his way for gaining complete control over his realm. The society created bu Bush; a scarry and twisted furture america, is intricate and full of mystery, however Bush concentrated on the relationship between Nydia and Abelard more than she should hafe, i think, and this detracted from the actual plot. the ending is completely unexpected and leaves ample room for the two books that followed it.

Summary: An intricate work of people in a twisted future
Review: When I first got this book, I wasn't too excited to read it because it seemed like one of those sci-fi books from its cover. However, once I started reading it I realized it was filled with interesting characters and a really delightful plot. It follows the story of 3 characters, Nydia(The beautiful witch), Abelard (the King), and Phineas (The Captain of the Guard) and how they relate to each other and to the land in which they live. None of the characters are flawless and that's something a lot of authors tend to do with their characters. Each of the characters have a distinct personality. I also found myself rooting for one character one minute and saying, "What a jerk!" the next. I think this book is a definite must-read for anyone who likes romance, fantasy, and magic.
