Summary: A Compelling and Creative Fantasy
Review: Maybe not the best I've ever read, but not far from it either. It seems that an author needs to really love her creations to describe them well. The story is well peopled and the people are well done. The lands are believable. All in all, an unusual story. Read it at least once. Those of you looking for an out-of-print copy may find one at the Advanced Book Exchange. Since it's out of print, the prices may be higher than usual, but sometimes you get lucky and find a bargain.

Summary: I Loved It And I Don't Even Like This Genre of Books
Review: I can truly say that I loved this book as well as it's sequel! The heroin, Zan Scarsdale, was believable and endearing. Karivet and Iobeh were sweet and more mature than most adults I know. Remarr's plight was very familiar to the way families work today. Ychass's wild, passionate spirit was refreshing and close-to-heart. Vihena reminded me a tad of myself, striving to be herself while others around her try to shove her into a mold that she neither fits nor wants to be enclosed in. These books wonderful and have remained so even after the 5th time I've read them. I strongly urge you to go to your local library and see if they have these two books.

Summary: The Best Book I have ever read
Review: I loved it! I've never liked fantasies, but this one was realistic. Well, not quite believable, but Zan was a very lifelike charcter. I think Beth Hilgartner is very gifted and should be proud of herself.

Summary: Too Bad it is Out of Print!
Review: I read this book through my local library. Now that I'm all grown up and have moved away from home, I've been searching for it online. Unfortunately, it's out of print. This was a repeated reader for me, and I would love to find it, and a copy of the sequel, for my home collection. The characters, especially those of the minstrel and the twins, seem to stand out for me, and I simply loved the way the Gods and mortals affected each other....

Summary: A Must-Read
Review: This book and its sequel have been favorites of mine for years. I would give anything for copies to own, this is a must read for any fantasy lover. Vihena was my especial fascination. If anyone can get their hands on a copy, read it.

Summary: A true masterpiece!
Review: This is such a classic! I read this book when I was still a kid, and I'll still never forget it. It's simple and straightforward enough that anyone can pick it up and read it, and yet the tale is so compelling and the characters so well developed, that it'll keep you reading! Vihena is by far my favorite character, and has become somewhat a part of my Avatar life (do a search on Google for "Vihena" and you'll see what I mean!

Summary: Great Story
Review: This is the story of Zen. Upon hearing of her fathers death Zen feels that she has it get away. She gets in her car and drives. The forest on the side of the rode look so peaceful - unlike her self. Walking is a good way to sort your feelings. Zen climbs out of the car and and walks across the road - and into another world.
