A more contemporary remake of War for the Oaks,
By Jvstin "Paul Weimer" (Circle Pines, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Steel Rose (Paperback)
From what I understand, Kara Dalkey is a friend of Emma Bull's...and so I understand, having read War for the Oaks, where Dalkey got many of her ideas for this novel...namely her friend's earlier novel. (Which by the way is being reprinted in Summer 2001).The setting is Pittsburgh rather than Minneapolis...the heroine is a Performance Artist, not the singer in a band, and she deals primarily with Unseelie rather than the Sidhe Court. But many of the concepts and 'vocabulary' are the same, or subtly different. Thus it loses a star for basic originality, but it is well done for what it sets out to do. I do recommend those who are interested in reading both read the Bull book and then this...it makes more sense to see the evolution of the concept that way.

A magical story of triumph,
By
This review is from: Steel Rose (Paperback)
This book starts in a light hearted ritual to summon a spirit. Constructed on a whim from our heroine of the book, she is much surprised when it actually works and she ends up with two new friends who lead her into all sorts of situations and new friends.This beat-of-the-city fantacy is intense, involving an array of beings from the spectrum of spiritual creatures. The powers of light and dark are head to head in a battle which could destroy, or forever change the city. And this quirky performance artist holds the key to ending it.

Why did the author have to change her style?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Steel Rose (Paperback)
I dreaded the contemporary fantasy setting, the supposed now-days teenage antics were so unrealistic, and too wild to believe it happened at all. This is the fiction of fiction, the characters were unbelieveabley fake. Kara Dalkey is one of my favorite fantasy authors, but this book just totally turned me off, this is the worst book she's ever written. Hard core fantasy lovers, this is not your book.
