5.0 out of 5 stars Top reason to have a book series, Feb 27 2004
By A Customer
This author is simply beyond words- If at all possible, Czerneda just gets better & better with each book she writes. In the third of this series, we get to return to the universe where our favorite alien Esen resides and get to see our little blue blob grow up- and get one hell of a great story to boot. Esen-alit-quar is simply one of the most beautifully written characters I have ever come across, a being so different & unique but so vulnerable, sweet and good that she personifies the phrase "never judge a book by it's cover." You never lose sight of her being an alien, but she is so endearingly "human" that you cannot help but love her. It is characters like this that make me still read Sci-fi. I only wish all authors had one ounce of the skill that Czerneda has in her craftsmanship. If you can only get one book, definitely get this one. The story & the character will become a part of you.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not anywhere near as strong as the first two books, Jun 23 2003
By Barb Caffrey "writer-for-hire" (In a Midwest State (of mind), USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
"Hidden in Sight" is a disappointment. It does not live up to the promise of the first two books in the series, "Beholder's Eye" and "Changing Visions," and it brought back someone I was hoping was safely dead from the first book -- Skalet.

Skalet is not a likable person by any means. She does lots of things for the wrong reasons, and never did understand Esen. To have _her_ be the last surviving member of the original six (aside from Esen) made me feel cheated. And I really didn't like her being in this book.

Since she's such an integral part of the book, that might explain why I mostly didn't like it. The ending is rather hopeful, I guess, but it was a trial and a struggle to get there. And, frankly, I put the book down for a good week and a half before I went back to it, and had no trouble finishing the thing, with no need to re-read anything for greater clarity.

Note that my husband has a dissenting view; his point is that, as an author, if you can delineate your world so well that it sticks in the reader's brain, especially if you don't like one of the characters, you're doing your job. :)

At any rate, because I dislike Skalet so very much, and because I don't like how she interacts with Esen (she pushes her around, as older siblings often do), I had a very hard time getting through this novel.

I still like Esen and Paul, and their relationship; I liked most of the other people in this book, even the flawed Kearn who's _still_ trying to rehabilitate himself. But as I did not like Skalet, it made it harder to buy into the premise of this book.

As for how to rate the whole series, I'd give the series four stars. It's a good series, and other folks might not hate Skalet as much as I do. ;-) And I really like the premise (it's extremely original and well done), and hope that Ms. Czerneda will write more books in this universe (hopefully without Skalet, or with a reformed Skalet that isn't as repulsive).

5.0 out of 5 stars Another awesome book by Julie Czerneda, May 24 2003
By H. Sowle "ms2thdr" (RI USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Hidden in Sight was one of those books that I picked up to read at 8pm one night, put it down at midnight only because I had to go to work the next day. I read it every spare moment I could through the day until I finished it that night. Just like I did with Beholders Eye and Changing Vision. The story of Essen and Paul is just as riveting and enjoyable as the first two and the new characters just add to the depth of the novel.
Do yourself a favor and read Hidden in Sight. I agree with the other reviewers you should also read Beholders Eye and Changing Vision to give you background. Actually, just read anything that Julie Czerneda has written you won't be disappointed.
