One of the best Indigo books,
By A Customer
This review is from: Infanta: Book Three of Indigo (Mass Market Paperback)
'Infanta' is probably the most original book of the Indigo series. The plot is concerned with Indigo destroying the second demon she released from the Tower of Regrets. This book has a timespan of several years, a lot more than any of the other Indigo books.The setting of the novel, and the way the mystery was unraveled made it very captivating, making the reader feel like a part of a world that becomes very real through the vivid descriptions. Although it has been a few months since I read this, I can still remember how I pictured each place or building in the story because of the detail the author has gone in to. 'Infanta' did not focus on Indigo's character as much as the other books, but she is still portrayed like a real person who makes mistakes, unlike many of the 'perfect' heroes of other fantasy novels. There were other characters in the story too, such as the Infanta, Grimya and Macce, who each had distinct personalities. The quest to find the second demon is balanced with the appearance of the Nemesis and the bringing up of the Infanta. The events of this novel, and the form of the demon contrasts a lot with the preceding and following books in the series. There were some things which I did not particularly like, such as the way the demon was destroyed, and events seeming to happen too suddenly with little warning. I found that the pace of the book seemed too slow or too fast a lot of the time. But, all the aspects of the plot come together quite well, and I think overall this is a great novel.

Good, but drags.,

This review is from: Infanta: Book Three of Indigo (Mass Market Paperback)
Cooper gives us another great story, but in this case it could have been told in half the length. Infanta has all the skill and elements Cooper fans like myself enjoy, but it seemed that much of it was simply in a holding pattern, waiting and waiting until the climax comes, which seemed as short as the wait was long.
It was also disheartening to see our hero, a woman of action in Book 1 and 2 resign herself to being a nanny, spending nearly everyday for years inebriated and slothful between the briefest moments of resolve (and clarity).

Indigo the Babysitter,
By
This review is from: Infanta: Book Three of Indigo (Mass Market Paperback)
Great chapter in the Indigo series. Indigo goes to the Eastern Continent and to one of the richest cities in her world, Simhara. And it's also her mother's birthplace which brings painful memories to her mind.
When she arrives, the city of Simhara is taken over by a tyrant who kills the king and captures the queen along with the Infanta (the princess) and Indigo and Grimya who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Indigo is then given a special job. To become the Infanta's babysitter/mentor/mother/companion. I won't say no more about the story, except that the story is very original and written very well. This is one of my favorites in Indigo series. The story does span several years, but that's no problem for immortal Indigo and Grimya.
