Can't say that I liked it.,
By lhnv71b@prodigy.com (Dover Plains, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Book Of Water 01 O Greenest Branch (Mass Market Paperback)
I was very disappointed in the first of the Water series. It was a tough book to find & I didn't want to read the others out of order. I've already started reading the second one and I don't find it a lot better, though I'm more than willing to reserve judgement. "O Greenest Branch" is written in a style I find very distracting and its negativity or "Darkness" or whatever it is seems to go on for too long. I am a huge fan of all the other works of this author, so I hope Bks 2 & 3 get better.

An interesting experiment,

This review is from: Book Of Water 01 O Greenest Branch (Mass Market Paperback)
Since I liked Baudino's other books (especially "Gossamer Axe"), I was really looking forward to a new story.Wellll... This book seems to be more of a literary experiment in multiple styles than an endeavor to tell a straightforward story. On the plus side, Baudino delivers several good pokes at organized religion (including paganism). No one has the corner on Truth or God/dess, and I came away thinking that this was a pretty brave attempt at something new. On the minus side, Baudino seems to get way too carried away with switching narrative styles and perspectives that its easy to get lost and ask, "Uh, what just happened?" repeatedly. Interesting, but a little too convoluted.

Read it with an open mind.,
By johnsora@martin.luther.edu (Iowa, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Book Of Water 01 O Greenest Branch (Mass Market Paperback)
This is not the place to look for traditional epic fantasy. I was actually put off at first by the constant changing in style and script, but when I was stranded with no other book, this one got picked back up again. I'm very glad I did. Once I accepted the book for what it was, not what it's genre said it should be, I was enchanted. The characters are not heros of common ilk, but something so much more and intensly flawed. It might not be what you're looking for, but if you want something new and creative, give it a shot. It's a lot of fun.
