4.0 out of 5 stars Following the trails of Aleytys', May 22, 2000

This review is from: Irsud (Diadem, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)

Having a heroine with extraordinary powers brings this story in line with Jo Claytons previous books on the adventures of Aleytys. Sold into slavery to insectoid owners, Aleytys discovers she is to serve as proxy-mother to the old Queens successor. In short being both the bearer and food source for the embryo she carried.

With her own enhanced abilities, and the added mystical strength of the diadem, the story of Aleytys' gives us a rousing adventure with unusual twists and turns. A tough, believable, swords and sorcery story to engage the imagination and satisfy the most ardent reader searching for fantasy and satisfaction.
