4.0 out of 5 stars Really Good Book!, June 22, 2006

This review is from: Crystal Witness (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a really great book. I had read some of Kathy Tyer's other work, such as the Firebird Trilogy, and loved them. While this does not in any way measure up to Firebird, it is still a very good and enjoyable read. It does, however, have some of the same aspects as her other work. It dabbles in mind control, and memory loss, with many details about the strange and futuristic world. The only thing that disappointed me, was that unlike her other work, it did not have as much, if any, Christian emphasis, which was one of the things I loved about Firebird. Still, over all a very good read, and one I would recommend to any fantasy reader.
