4.0 out of 5 stars good intro to wonderful series, Aug 16 2002
By S. Patel "sajioblo" (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I sincerely hope someone comes across this book either online or in some out-of-print book shop, and discovers the incredible imagery and thought JR. King put into these books. The books are short, but very well written. Even though the author is jumping through time and space, and heaven and hell, he manages to keep us interested in the characters.

Anyone who likes the idea of reading about a world that is as chaotic but strangely consistent as a dream will enjoy the ride that is the series.

As for the fact the book may not be true to canon Planescape, I can only say who cares? The books are still beautiful, and I highly recommend them to younger readers as a mind opening experience.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good fun for the Clueless, Jan 17 2001
By Kris (California, USA) - See all my reviews
Just as a warning, this is the first fiction book I've read in a while. I've played D&D and have a copy of the 1st edition Manual of the Planes, but I have never read the Planescape manual. I probably would have enjoyed the story more if I knew more about the creatures. The monsters and many of the settings were not given as much description as I would have liked, though the choice of settings and plot devices kept my interest throughout the book. (*Spoiler - another review in Amazon criticizes the author's treatment of the Lady of Pain, but she is in no scenes and is not mentioned very often. I haven't read the other books yet, so perhaps the reviewer was referring to the trilogy as a whole.)

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable over all, Jul 22 1999
By A Customer
This was a good book by all means but I do have a problem with the ending oft his book. The ending didn't want me to go get the next in the series and finish reading it. The characters were not gripping and didn't really care for theh at all but the over all story was pretty good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Book is enjoyable, but formulaic.
Somewhat formulaic ... cast includes the hero, his love, a traitor, a wise old man, and other stereotypical characters. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars The perfect surrealist adventure
I found Blood Hostages to be an exciting novel over all. The surreal atmosphere presented in the Planescape setting created an unbelievable canvas for King to work on. Read more
