5.0 out of 5 stars A fun read, Jul 5 2004

By A Customer

This was my first Yasmine Galenorn book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The writing is richly textured and the plot is delightfully suspenseful, with some surprising twists at the end. The touch of the metaphysical adds depth and interest. The "good witch" heroine is very engaging, and all the other characters are lively and memorable. I look forward to Ms. Galenorn's next mystery!

5.0 out of 5 stars Yasmine Scores Once More, Jun 15 2004

By	Carol Shenold "cat write" (Oklahoma) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really liked and characters in the first book in the Chintz and China series. Emerald and the children grabbed me right away in "Ghost of a Chance." I love the paranormal aspects. I found "Legend of the Jade Dragon" even better than the first. More intense, I had to stay up and finish it. I can't critique paranormal aspects like astral projection, never having experienced them, but I find it all great fun to read. I like the humor and reality of the characters, the fact that they have the same job, relationship, romance problems as everyone; they are not super heroes but come through in a pinch. What more could you ask of your friends and these characters have become friends. Can't wait for number three. Way to go.

5.0 out of 5 stars This one rocks!, Jun 4 2004

By	Susan Shedd (South Woodbury, VT USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm another reader who was somewhat disappointed by the first in this series (though I still liked it a lot). Still, it was a promising start, and this novel is much stronger. We've been introduced to most of the characters and the paranormal aspects, so the focus is on a riveting plot and excellent characterization.

The mundane mysteries are well-handled, if relatively slight, though their effect on the victims is powerful enough, but the paranormal mystery is fascinating. The Chinese magic is fascinating, and it's great that Emerald is frankly at a loss about what to do about something so far outside her own traditions and training. I really enjoyed the introduction of Jimbo, and I'm glad Emerald is sorting our her confusion about her love life.

White Feather is a powerful character and goes a long way toward addressing my one continuing concern: that Emerald needs an "equal" in the psychic arena (one who is still alive, that is). I hope that White Feather will continue to play a prominent role in the series -- and I'm looking forward to finding out what happens next!

This was the first book in the Chintz and China series that I read, and from the other reviews, I'm wondering if perhaps it ought always to be. Read more
