Exiled to a barren wasteland, Sera would do anything to regain the kingdom that was her birthright. To the world, Tolin was known as Death's Shadow--as much a beast of battle as the mighty warhorse he rode. But no matter what the old prophecy foretold, the sparks between them would not be denied. Original.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting magical tale; lacks 'oomph.' 3&1/2 stars.,
This review is from: Dance of the Flame (Paperback)
Once upon a time, in the fantasy world of Orem, the power-hungry House of Rall challenged the benevolent rule of the House of Neer--and won. Sera is the "Spirit-of-Neer-confined-in-flame" reborn. To fulfill the Prophecy, she must join forces with Tolin of Rall--also known as the hated 'Death's Shadow' to the followers of Neer.Overall the story was okay, but I found Serbaak's role just way too pat. I also don't get how Sera is suddenly 'in love' with Tolin when all he'd shown her so far were angry nonexplanations for his actions & callous disregard for her concerns. Another complaint is that EB refers to the place as the two 'worlds' of Orem. HA! Two 'countries' is more like it--they are called by the (unimaginative) names of Orem Proper & Orem Minor. Also recommended: the fantasy worlds of Madeline Baker's "Beneath a Midnight Moon" & "Warrior's Lady."

1.0 out of 5 stars
unimaginative and lacks heart...,
This review is from: Dance of the Flame (Paperback)
as someone who reads a lot of futuristic romance, I picked this up hoping this was a good book.Elaine Barbieri is a well known writer of predominately western romance. Back in '95 when this was written-fantasy romance had just been introduced and very popular. There were many romance writers who jumped on the "fantasy romance" bandwaggon, hoping for a bestseller. Most could not pull off the switch from other genres-this is one of them. Sadly, the writing is so hackneyed it's obvious that this is not Miss Barbieri's forte'. The language is something out of a bad episode of Star Trek, the characters one dimensional, the writing WAY of the top and just downright silly. The book was just embarrassingly bad:( I would definately say skip this book.
