Great book!, May 3, 2007
This review is from: The Heart of Stars: Book Three of Rhiannon's Ride (Paperback)
Less than a year ago, I absently picked up "Tower of Ravens" because the horse on the cover intrigued me - I find it hard to resist the horse-crazy adolescent girl still lurking in the corners of my mind. I was excited to see that a sequel was already out, so I bought both of them at the same time and spent the evening devouring them.
I eagerly awaited the US release of Heart of Stars and the only complaint I have is that there isn't going to be more to the story! The way Kate Forsyth weaves the different and interconnected plots and characters together is truly enjoyable - sometimes when I read a book too fast, I'll get lost between the characters and plots and settings, but not so with this one.
I am a little disappointed that Rhiannon's Ride is being touted as a trilogy - there are so many unanswered questions at the end of Heart of Stars, questions that would be too tedious to stick onto the end of the novel, but would be well-answered as background details in yet another sequel.
The reviewer before me has already pretty much summed of the gist of the story, I just wanted to add my approval of this book as well. I find myself thinking in the "accent" that the characters speak in, which means that it was truly immersing - and I dinna ken how to stop!

This review is from: The Heart of Stars: Book Three of Rhiannon's Ride (Paperback)
After waiting two years I finally purchased the last part of the trilogy. Although still to finish the book(almost there) Kate Forsyth has continued on creating word pictures which enhance the storyline.

Wonderful conclusion., March 1, 2010
In contrast to some other reviewers, I loved this final book in the trilogy. I, like others, have been delighted by how Ms. Forsyth's writing has developed since her earlier works. "The Heart of Stars" engages us with vivid, evocative descriptions and crisp dialogue. The author doesn't "tell" us the story - she shows it. In addition, this was an incredibly exciting book. I read non-stop!
