Now they must find the stone, defuse the increasingly volatile political situation in Tir Na Nog, and stop evil one before he can destroy more innocent lives.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great read... Good story.... Anxious for more, August 19, 1999

I've read Joel Rosenberg for more years than I care to admit and this book is right on par from what I've come to expect from him. These Hidden Ways stories are great reading, they have an originality to them which I've found in most of Rosenberg's series. The only complaint I had with this book in the series was that the story itself was a little simplistic compared to the previous two. I still enjoy reading about this world and characters and enjoyed this book all the same. I hope for more in this series real soon and would recommend it to all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it. Read it. Nag him for more., January 17, 1999

This review is from: The Crimson Sky (Keepers of the Hidden Ways) (Mass Market Paperback)

I'm an unembarrassed Rosenberg junkie, and my only complaint is that it's too long between fixes.

I'm very fond of the Guardians of the Flame books but I think the Keepers of the Hidden Ways books may even be better. I think I have to agree with the previous reviewer that I wanted more of the story, because I do want more of the story, but I think that will be true for the foreseeable future until Rosenberg ends it.

I'm not sure exactly how he's going to get there, but it looks like he's fixing to bring his characters up to and maybe through Ragnarok, and this is a ride that it would be a pity to miss.

Buy it. Read it. Nag him for more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost Perfect, December 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Crimson Sky (Keepers of the Hidden Ways) (Mass Market Paperback)

An excellent continuation of the saga. The characters are excellent, real people you want to know. I was sorry the story ended because I wanted to spend more time with these characters. The plot suffers from an ending which seems slapped on to end at a certain number of pages. I hope Mr. Rosenberg can continue these characters with a bit more plot development.
