This review is from: The Morning Star 3-Volume Boxed Set (Hardcover)
I was a huge fan of the first 3 books. I even got a tattoo based on one of the drawings but these last 3 somehow didn't have the same magic. I fell in love with Griffin and Sabine and their relationship but could never embrace the 2 new characters we meet in the later 3 books. The artwork is just as wonderful as the original 3 but to me some of the magic of the love story was lost in the last 3. They are still fun to read and worth owning, especially if you enjoyed the original 3.

storyline doesn't quite live up to the artwork, Nov 17 2006
By foodlover - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Morning Star 3-Volume Boxed Set (Hardcover)
About ten years passed for me between the time I first discovered the Griffin & Sabine trilogy and this Morning Star box set. It's hard to judge this work without comparing it to the merits of the first trilogy. The lovers in Morning Star are far less interesting and their passion seems to be more about physical tension rather than the loneliness and searching that brought Griffin and Sabine together from their vastly different worlds. The villan from the 3rd G&S story is back, but why he's interested in this new couple and how they relate to G&S is only vaguely hinted at.You still get the guilty pleasure of reading someone else's mail, but because the two lovers already know each other, there isn't a sense of the story tensely unwinding as they are trying to figure out who they are in relation to each other. This trilogy seems to sacrifice the romantic tension and suspense of the first trilogy for a more philosophical statement about the connections between people. Nick Bantock's artwork is still amazing, but the story and characters in this series aren't as compelling as the images in the book.

This review is from: The Morning Star 3-Volume Boxed Set (Hardcover)
I had read the first three of the series and was hooked. The last three were equally captivating, artfully done, and as intriguing as the first three. Bantock's mix of the improbable and history along with exquisite art work makes these books true treasures.
