4.0 out of 5 stars A Presequel to "Blood Games", May 26, 2000

Bonnie G. Papini "Gattina" (Dayton, Ohio) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Four Horses for Tishtry (Hardcover)

Fans of Yarbro's sympathetic vampire will recall the conflicted horse trainer Tishtry from "Blood Games." I used Amazon's out-of-print book search to get this novel and am very satisfied to have it. It is a juvenile novel but still interesting for fans of Saint Germain, even though he appears only very briefly at the end. The novel is not as dark as "False Dawn" or "Dead and Buried" but is not a typically cheerful story for young teens.

The novel details Tishtry's career as a stunt rider years before her fame at the Circus Maximus in Rome, the situation of her family's slavery and her determination to free them. Very interesting was the detail concerning the rights of slaves in the Roman Empire, something not stressed in "Blood Games."

Tishtry passes from master to master, performing in small provincial cities until she is on the brink of accomplishing her dreams: performing for Nero in Rome and freeing her family. Will a morally and financially corrupt master shatter those dreams?
