2.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointing, Dec 30 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Gatherer of Clouds (The Initiate Brother, Book 2) (Paperback)

The Initiate Brother was an engaging and colourful read which is why I could hardly wait to get my hands on this - the conclusion to the story. Unfortunately, somewhere along the line, the author must have lost his taste for the story and - as a result - the end is very lackluster. Be prepaired to have all of your expectations let down and brace yourself for an ending that will make you cringe and say "what the heck?"

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, May 5 2001

This review is from: Gatherer of Clouds (The Initiate Brother, Book 2) (Paperback)

One of the finest books I have ever read. Make sure to start with the first one first, and then go on the sequel.

Just to warn/entice those who may have read some of Russell's other works first -- these two books are written by a warm inviting Russell, while his other books are written by a cold, cynical, sarcastic person. (Guess which I prefer.) So even if you did not care for Russell's other works, please give these a try.

This is a real treat for those who love to read! The first book, and this one is a great story, the witing style is smooth as silk, and the characters are not only interesting, and likeable, but believable to boot! I actually shed tears in public while reading this book, I couldn't put it down. Wonderful, enchanting, and totally satisfying read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Moving conclusion to "The Initiate Brother".
This two volume story is elegant, moving, and fun. The monk, Shuyun, comes to be spiritual advisor to the Shonto family. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars These two books are scrumptious
An excellent series. Can't say kind words about this later books, however. I'd sooner endure a brisk caning than read most Sean Russell books. They're a real snore.
