5.0 out of 5 stars Forever Knight's Excellent Read, March 26, 2000

By 

K. Dean Harris (Reno, NV USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Forever Knight: Intimations of Mortality (Forever Knight) (Paperback)

This is one of the best books I have ever read bar none, I have seen every episode of the television series a number of times, and the author positively has the flavor of the characters down pat. This book is very well thought out and very well written. I pray that Susan M. Garrett writes many more Forever Knight novels, as devoted Forever Knight Fans such as myself have had our hearts ripped out at the cancellation of this great series. Way to go Susan M. Garrett!

This review is from: Forever Knight: Intimations of Mortality (Forever Knight) (Paperback)

Susan Garrett, in remaining true to the characters of the television show Forever Knight, has not only managed to go beyond the premise of Nick Knight's angst of his killer nature and desire to escape his dark world of almost 800 years, but also make him ask: What does humanity stand for? And what makes someone human? Faced with two different worlds, his dream world brought upon by a mysterious doll, and the real world, Nick soon finds himself torn between himself as a vampire in the real world, and mortal in the dream world. In his dream world, he must choose between personal desires and what is best for himself and other mortals. At the same time, the vampires (who are mortals in the real world, i.e. Natalie) must struggle between the vampire law, the bloodlust that helps them survive, and their lingering attachments to the mortal world left behind, as well as feelings for some of those mortals. The mirror effect, at times poignant and at times joyous, manages to convey Nick's struggle between mortality, justice, and love; the issue of his very survival in each existence making him question what it means to "walk in the light", particularly when the worlds collide, with very mixed results.

The moral seems to be that "the grass is not always greener", that mortality does not necessarily equal morality and that what Nick Knight may ultimately seek is not mortality per se, but redemption. Wonderful job!

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVED this book!!!, July 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Forever Knight: Intimations of Mortality (Forever Knight) (Paperback)

As a dedicated Forever Knight fan I was devestated when they cancelled this amazing series. I had no idea there were any Forever Knight novels out. When I stumbled across Intimations, I immediatly bought it. I read couldn't put it down, and had it read in a few hours! It was exciting and dramatic, and really captured the characters. It was a great book and I hope that Susan Garrett writes many more books!
