Book Description

May 3, 2005
When a Viking ship misses North America and drifts ashore in an ancient Mayan city, two cultures collide. The warrior Tyrthbrand and the high priestess Lady Two Bird must form an unlikely alliance to fight for their very lives. And as the clouds of war cover the earth, the Viking and Mayan gods are thrown into an ethereal conflict that could threaten the foundations of both Heavens and the Underworld.

Her third novel, "The Jaguar and the Wolf" (Roc 2005) is set in the Yucatan peninsula, around 1000 A.D, and explores what would happen if the Vikings met the Mayans. Her short fiction includes fantasy, science fiction, and horror, and has primarily been published in anthologies.

2.0 out of 5 stars Hardly a page turner, August 12, 2005
By 
moria2 (St. Louis, MO USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
This review is from: The Jaguar and the Wolf (Paperback)
I want to make it perfectly clear. I read Cutter's Paper Mage and loved it. So, eager to see what she could do with two of my favorite groups (wide representation applied) of people (Toltec/Mayan/Aztec civilizations and Scandinavian raider culture) the book was purchased. Jaguar and the Wolf just doesn't seem to go anywhere or to have a clear purpose or reason for being written. There is little character development, growth, plot, etc... Although there are some interesting parts, for the most part it lacks the history and thoughtfulness seen in Paper Mage.

They can't all be good reviews...

2.0 out of 5 stars Historical Fiction, September 6, 2005
This review is from: The Jaguar and the Wolf (Paperback)
"Jaguar and the Wolf" follows two people: a young lady from South America and a Viking warrior. These two people (who soon meet) struggle between obeying societies dictates and controling the course of their lives. There are mystic elements, but this book could better be categorized as historical fiction. All of the effort spent on historic accuracy left me borred.

I recommend you try Cutter's other books instead. However, if you enjoy historical fiction, you'll probably adore "The Jaguar and the Wolf".

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing..., July 12, 2005
By 
EFD (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Jaguar and the Wolf (Paperback)
Usually, I can read any book that I pick up. But, unfortunately, that was not the case with this book.

I tried to give it a chance and read 1/2 the book; but, finally, I decided that it wasn't worth finishing. (So, I just read the ending and tossed it on my 'already been read pile.')

I think there is a reason that the reviews listed in the front pages are directed towards her previous books rather than this one.
