4.0 out of 5 stars
Rollicking good fun!,
By A.C. Graybill (Southeast Nebraska USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Branch and Crown: Book III of Water! (Paperback)
I enjoyed this series thoroughly. I recommended it to a friend who reads fantasy (a la Charles de Lint) and she hated the series. I happen to agree that this is not a fantasy series for the faint of heart. The other two books in the series ("O Greenest Branch" and "The Dove Looked In") are necessary for the reader in order to "get" this title. I really hope that somehow these books end up back in print because they are a wonderful example of a writer having a great time writing for themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Wickedly funny!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Branch and Crown: Book III of Water! (Paperback)
I give all three of the novels in this series my highest recommendation. These are intelligent, humorous reads. Baudino manages to maintain a breakneck pace throughout _without losing the reader_! Anyone who has read Mercedes Lackey and longed for something a bit more literate, or Douglas Adams and longed for something a bit more feminist, or James Joyce and longed for something a bit more fun, will find this a wonderful read. Baudino skewers the New Age community, sexist males, patriarchy, and pretentious would-be writers while providing us with characters like Bakbuk, the King's sworder, who can't decide if he is a she or not, and Kuz Aswani, ferret or man--not even he knows for sure. All this plus a wandering penis--surely there's something here for everyone

Good,
By Anne with an e (Minnesota) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Branch and Crown: Book III of Water! (Paperback)
Gael Baudino's Water trilogy is by far the best she's wrtten, and yet, it is also the trilogy with the most disappointing ending. Her characters are wonderful, her story is funny, her writing in general is, well, interesting in how it switches writing styles frequently, and yet, the final chapter is such an anticlimax. This series is definitely well worth reading, despite that, however.
