A good mix of fantasy and history,
By Barbara Korsness "Author of novels and avid r... (Lake Mary, FL. USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: A D 999 (Paperback)
Weaving a plot using Bible prophecy and Nordic sagas, the author has created a novel with an intricate plot which is well crafted and entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed it.The story takes place at the turn of the first millennium. Many of us faced fears at the turn or our millennium but immagine Alwyn a monk and Kennag a pagan woman as they join forces against Satan in the guise of Angelo. Using Britian's ruler and the trickster Nordic god Loki, Angelo plans to usher in the Apocalypse and rule the earth. I thought the novel was unique and imaginative, and I hope to see another Jadrien Bell historical fantasy available in the near future.

Zippy Read,
By A Customer
This review is from: A D 999 (Paperback)
Bell offers a fun, fast light read here. Those who know medieval history will perhaps be bounced out by a lot of small errors (and a couple of not-so-small ones) but readers who like generic medieval-flavor fantasy will have a good time with this book. The heroes are likable, the bad guys really bad (what they lack in smarts they make up for in enthusiastic evil). There are no new ideas here, but what Bell lacks in perception of medieval paradigm--and how it was changing--is made up for in page-turning action, razzle-dazzle magic, and a really fun Ragnarok.

Stunning - Wonderful - Marvellous,
By A Customer
This review is from: A D 999 (Paperback)
I haven't a fraction of the writing talent that Ms. Bell displays in this book and can't hope to do it justice, but I have to say something!I loved it! Only the inconvenience of having a job stopped me reading it in one sitting - it took me two days! The way in which the author has woven diverse threads of pagan mythology with christian apocalyptic prophesy works perfectly. It never felt contrived or forced. Angelo is beyond machiavellian, and the reluctant relationship between the two heroes works very well too. Add to that some of the "stranger-than-fiction" characters and events from history and you have AD999.
