5.0 out of 5 stars Impossible to put down. . ., Jul 7 2007

By	Heather S. Jones "MatsGrl86" (North Carolina) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been a huge fan of Tanith's work since I first read the Flat Earth series at the age of sixteen, and this book proves to me, once again, that she is an author of incredible skill. This story draws you into the life of the main character in such a way that you can practically feel everything she feels, and it's just amazing how well the story flows and keeps you interested in every detail. I'd recommend this book to any fantasy lover - especially if they are a fan of Tanith's other works.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favourite Tanith Lee Book, Aug 27 2001

By	"kayjlo" (Queensland, Australia) - See all my reviews

When I first read this book (more years ago than I care to recall) it ignited my interest in so-called sword and sorcery epics. Tanith Lee's lost child-woman draws you into her story from the opening chapter and I would definitely rate this as a read-at-one-sitting book because it is absolutely impossible to put down. It is one of the most broad ranging and breath-taking adventures as the heroine-of-many-names struggles to find her lost race, her identity and her destiny. From healer to warrior to enslaved goddess and reluctant birthgiver, she enchants, saddens and delights. She and her world are beautifully detailed, as are its occupants. The only thing that makes up for reading the last page is the knowledge that the two sequels ("Shadowfire:Vazkor, Son of Vazkor" and "Quest for the White Witch") are just as brilliant and provide a most satisfying, if unexpected, conclusion. Get this if you can - then hunt for the sequels. You will not regret it!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of those that makes me want to jump in it and not return, Oct 2 1998

By A Customer

In this tale of blood, love, violence, beauty, magic, dreams, brutal murder, swords'n'sorcery, rape, battle and deadly races, we follow a woman on a journey of self-discovery. First a Goddess, then a slave, later a pawn in the game of an emperor who shows her her true nature and leads her to understand what she is looking for. And then the end of this story.. a twist of the plot and atmosphere so totally unexpected I couldn't believe it at first. Terrific.
