Understated, and beautiful, with good character development.,
By Philip Harrington (p.harringto2@genie.com) (St. Louis, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dancing Jack (Paperback)
The renewal of Ash's life and world, from disasters she had a hand in creating, is told in deceptively low-key language, which grows to be compelling. After revolution with mixed resilts, plague and famine, the lands along the Madeena River are, like Ash herself, in a world class funk. The story opens in spring, with the first muddy thaw in the ground and in Ash's heart. The "Dancing Jack" of the title is a toy, whose effect on events.like so much else, is not obvious, yet may be considerable. The world is not a standard stereotype. Steamboats combine with potato farmers and clock-makers to divert attention from wonders building out of the corner of the eye. Conclusion: the book is much better than my review of it. It you have any tolerance for understated beauty, and have a chance to get it, try it.

A Story of Choice and Love,
By Anisland - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dancing Jack (Paperback)
Ash was once an infamous sorceress and lover of a revolutionary poet. Now she is rooted to Ashland. Ash is a woman who is empty of adult desires, full of death, and bitter at this story's beginning. She develops from a woman of these traits to a woman who is more full of the essence of life at this story's end. She is a woman of power who journeys from ancestral lands [Ashland] to a city once beset by plague in order to find out if any kin to her still live. She has lived in exile for 10 years, and her chosing to embark on that jouney leads to confrontations with ghosts from her past. One that will haunt her and one that causes her to choose joy.
