5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE this book!!!!!, October 11, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Aria (Distant Soil, Book 3) (Paperback)
I love this book. I LOVE this book. Did I tell you I love this book? Aside from the fact that the art gets more gorgeous every issue, the men are sexy, the women are believable as well as beautiful, the costumes and sets are amazing, the story blows me away as well! In A DISTANT SOIL: THE ARIA, the secret of the rebel leader Rieken is revealed to his companions and though they are very understandably displeased to have been deceived, they have no choice but to continue to follow him. The confrontation with the Hierarchy had a COMPLETELEY UNEXPECTED ending, and the quiet drama of the last few pages of this book is chilling. Best characterization I have ever seen drawn by a comic artist. Ever. Watch the scene with the bonzai tree at the end. It will freeze your blood. Can't WAIT for the next book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fulfilling Fantasy For The Mind & Eyes, January 21, 1999
By A Customer
I am just absolutely captivated by the A Distant Soil series. I own the original 1987 book and 1989's Knights of the Angel. Not only does Colleen feed your mind with the story, but your eyes with the illustrations!! For those who don't already own it, I highly suggest trying to find it. I already have Amazone.com searching for 1997's The Gathering.

3.0 out of 5 stars TOO LONG A WAIT, May 28, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The book was in great condition, just came almost a week after the end time. I needed it for a gift and I had to give it late. I was really upset even sent a notice to the seller, my friend loved it, she had the original series at one time and is just now looking into getting them again. I was happy with the condition just not the service.
