couldn't put it down, Nov 24 2007
By L. Krough - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The End of Desire: A Rowan Gant Investigation (Paperback)
I picked this up yesterday morning and couldn't put it down until about 7pm last night, when I was finished. A great book, and not what I expected. I do agree that the end felt a bit rushed & wasn't tied up with a neat little bow... I was expecting an epilogue or something to clear up some unanswered questions. Overall a good ending for Miranda and I'm looking forward to next October and the next story!

Satisfying...yet with a teasing end., Nov 19 2007
By Julie Bryant "An Avid Reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The End of Desire: A Rowan Gant Investigation (Paperback)
Getting my hands on the third and final(?) volume of the Miranda trilogy was something I had been looking forward to for many, many months. It did not disappoint. Another reviewer commented that the ending seemed a bit rushed, and I'll admit I'm a bit puzzled by what precisely happened. Without revealing a spoiler, the very last paragraph hinted that Miranda's presence likely will still be a part of the Gant-O'Brien household in future books.
But back to the things I loved about the book: the understated but believable magick, the wonderful telling of the human emotions experienced by Rowan, and grudging acceptance by more mainstream characters of Rowan's and Felicity's Craft. The writing style continues to grab me as though I'm truly seeing the story through Rowan's eyes.
My hope is that more pagans will discover the Rowan Gant series and see that there is an author who captures our world without crossing over to exaggerated sci/fi sorts of bangs and blue light.

Solid Finish To The Miranda Trilogy......Or Is It?, Dec 5 2007
By Kim "Hermione" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The End of Desire: A Rowan Gant Investigation (Paperback)
I find myself agreeing with the majority of the reviews here. This trilogy has to be one of the best I've read. The characters of Rowan and Felicity, as well as the secondary characters ie; Ben & Constance are so well written you not only feel as though you know them, but you also feel what they're going through. That said, this was not my favorite book of the trilogy. I'm not sure exactly what it was. The first two books I actually read much slower than I usually do because there were so many heart wrenching things happening that part of me was putting off reading more, mostly due to how close I had gotten to the characters in the previous books. This book didn't quite connect with me as much. That's not to say I didn't like it though. There just seemed to be a little something missing especially between Rowan and Felicity. I also felt the ending was a little rushed. Still, as one reviewer already pointed out, it end with quite the teaser in regards to Miranda. Technically the books featuring her are done, yet there is someting near the end that suggests we haven't seen the last of her. Also, at the beginning of "The End Of Desire" there's a list of the previous books as well as two forthcoming books, one of which is called "Miranda". Hmm...
Listmania!
