2.0 out of 5 stars Very Dissapointing., Sep 23 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Stalking Tender Prey (Paperback)

The first book in the Grigori trilogy - in fact, the entire Grigori trilogy - marks the beginning of down point in Storm's otherwise shining career as an author, that she has yet to pull herself out of (most notable is the simply dreadful "Thin Air" and the bland Magravandias Chronicles). If you want to read something good from Storm, you simply must hunt for a copy of the exotic "Calenture" or the exquisite "Burying the Shadow"; sadly it seems Storm peaked with those two superb examples of non-standard fantasy. I can only hope she quits "dumbing it down" to appeal to the mass American market, and returns to her true form.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Storm's classics..., Jun 19 2003

By	Brian Fields (Silver Spring, MD United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Stalking Tender Prey (Paperback)

Well, JD, if you're a closet homophobe, this book is sure to rub you the wrong way, but that's no reason to give it one star. Storm has only written one weak book in her career, to my knowledge, and that WAS actually, in this series (Book #3 - Stealing Sacred Fire). Stalking, on the other hand, is one of her classics. I admit, the homosexual scenes are almost buffetingly strong, and extremely uncomfortable for those of us outside the lifestyle. But they are mind openeing. The closest comparison I can come to in this regard is Jacqueline Carey's "Kushiel" trilogy, whose heroine, Phedre, is a sexual masochist and prostitute. When I read her first assignation I didn't know whether to cry, scream, or throw-up; but it definitely pushed my mental boundaries. So, I'm not going anywhere near a whip, or another man's, uh....pride; but I appreciate a book that pushes my buttons and keeps me thinking.

Finally, your most absurd claim was that she was trying to sound like Clive Barker. Storm does NOT try to sound like ANYONE else, that's why she's Storm. Storm is a goddess because she is so unrepentantly herself.

You shouldn't ruin a book's ratings just cause it rubbed you the wrong way.

1.0 out of 5 stars WARNING: Contains strong scenes ..., Feb 18 2003

By	T. Blok (Norway) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Stalking Tender Prey (Paperback)

I have nothing against gay people and have a couple of gay friends, but still I do NOT want to know the intimite details of their ...life, which this book provides in abundence. It just goes on and on many times across many pages. If I had know this then I wouldn't have picked it up.
Also I found the writing to be below average. The book can't decide if it wants to be a fantasy/horror book or make a stand against male oppression. It's just too stupid when the female charactars all have "magical" female powers and everyone understands everything about everyone else, and therfore knows what everyone are doing and thinking all the time.
The authour tries so hard to be Clive Barker, but fails terribly.
