5.0 out of 5 stars fantasy with strong character and plot development, March 25, 1999

This review is from: The Chronicles of Tornor (Paperback)

I find it fascinating that none of the above reviews mention even slightly the strong lesbian and gay overtones to all three of Lynn's books in this trilogy. While I agree with most of their commentary on style and detail of the writing, I want readers to know that this trilogy deals consciously and complexly with issues of both gay and lesbian coming-of-age, psychologically, sociologically and erotically, in both celebratory and painfully character and plot choices. Lynn's matter of fact acceptance of these issues as integral to the plot creates a non-polemic chance to read homosexual and homosocial lives into literature of a very high degree of skill and polish. An opportunity not to be missed, especially for those readers who are just addressing these issues themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding - Even as a reprint ., January 23, 1999

Outstanding book of the orginal three(3)seperate volumes. If you read no other books this year, read this one. This is a must have for anyone who collects fantasy books. Elizabeth's best effort in one combined book.

I am delighted to see that Ms. Lynn's Tornor books will once again be available. I love to give them to any friend who hasn't read them (and to those friends who have read them, but don't yet own them) and it's been getting harder to find them in used bookstores! This is a clue: people who own these books do not wish to part with them.
