2.0 out of 5 stars Nicely Written, But Horrid At The Same Time, Jul 7 2004

By	Ali (Illinois) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wizard Of The Grove (Paperback)

Tanya Huff has such excellent writing potential for she has a way of weaving a web around you and drawing you in as a reader, but she lacks in many, many areas. Let me begin, Wizard of the Grove, starts out with a long, drawn out history when she easily could've summed things up for us, instead of writing nearly 150 pages of boringness. I know she meant this to be helpful, but I just found it quite unnecessary. We then go into a story that lacks a backbone. Crystal, our main character, is all powerful and all knowing. It's like she's a God or something with absolutely no weaknesses, and that doesn't make a believable character to begin with. The main thing that got to me was the ending. If Tanya Huff ever reads this, then I'm going to say it bluntly, IT STUNK!!!!! I won't reveal what happens, but know that is at least one sentence with a couple of words. Now, onto the second half of the book. Crystal is all alone in the world, save for her friend, Lord Death, who has totally mixed up feelings for Crystal. That's what the entire book is really about. How he and Crystal end up together. In all reality, this book just wasn't necessary. It was boring and just an excuse for Huff to continue the series.

This review is from: Wizard Of The Grove (Paperback)

Some books I hate, others I love. I think it has to do with characters and what authors do to them. So many try to force the character to do something that they want, and when you read the passage, it just doesn't feel right. Not with this book, I like the fact that the author let the character be who she was. It was believable; she had faults as well as perfections. So for those who are looking for a story about a hero, but what a true hero that they can relate to, I highly recommend this book.

By	Sheena (Tappahannock, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wizard Of The Grove (Paperback)

I LOVED THE "CHILD OF THE GROVE" PART OF THE BOOK AND HAD TO GIVE IT A 5, BUT THERE JUST SEEMED TO BE SOMETHING LACKING IN THE "LAST WIZARD" PART. IT ALMOST SEEMS SHE JUST RAN OUT OF STEEM AND WANTED TO HAVE THIS BOOK OVERWITH. ALL IN ALL IT WAS A VERY GOOD STORY, BUT I JUST FELT SOMETHING WAS LACKING AT THE END.
