2.0�toiles sur 5 More Californian than Celtic, Janv. 2 2004

Par	"lucecilla" (Scotland) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Crown Of Stars #3 Burning Stone (Mass Market Paperback)

Kate Elliot has lost herself in a world of her own making, where the characters, plots and intrigue proliferate without any narrative structure or point. The personalities of the characters slip into the one-dimensional, losing much of my sympathy in the process. With far too many subplots, mysteries and creatures; Elliot exhibits no discipline. Her writing too, is schizoid: one minute the language is arcane seventeenth century English, and the next minute it's more Californian than Celtic. And way too girly. Granted, the idea of a matriarchal medieval society is a seductive one, but do we have to hear quite so much about 'gorgeous tunics'? I'm quite sure your average medieval male wouldn't use that kind of language, let alone give a toss what the wench was wearing.

Kate Elliot, if she disciplined her writing and reigned in her imagination a little, could be an excellent storyteller. In order to do that, each book must stand as a novel in it's own right, and central themes should link a beginning middle and end. There is no sign of this in 'The Burning Stone'. There are also glaring and highly annoying editorial mistakes, such as one sentence where the pope-like 'skopos' is refered to as ruling from Rome, which doesn't actually exist in the world Elliot has created.

In short, she's not a bad writer. But she desperately needs a good editor and half-way decent proof-readers.

This review is from: Crown Of Stars 03 Burning Stone (Hardcover)

I read this book in about 2 and a half days. I loved it. I would recomend this series to any fantasy lover, but the series does have it's bad points though. There are like fifty characters running around doing stuff and it is slightly confusing. The book is exactly 801 pages long including the epilogue. It might sound discouraging to slow readers, but the wait is worth it. The book is exciting and full of action and battle stuff for people who like that. Then there is odd dash of romance thrown into the book. I have already hooked a bunch of friends on this series too and I hope this helps!

This review is from: Crown Of Stars #3 Burning Stone (Mass Market Paperback)

Kate Elliot continues to write superbly in this third installment of her series that combines elements of reality and fantasy. As she proceeds to write her books they do tend to get complicated with various plots taking form and new characters popping up, however she stays true to her main story. In the end readers are left wanting to pick up the next book and begin reading. This reader wishes she would concentrate more on the main characters Liath and Prince S., but the reader also realizes that they are just two fascinating characters that are art of a larger story involving not just their romance and their discovery of their origins, but a major build up of politics, intrigue, and myth becoming reality.
