5.0 out of 5 stars
Mesmerizing, haunting, insightful,
By
This review is from: The Master: Book Three in the Time Master Trilogy (Mass Market Paperback)
Louise Cooper is a wizard with words and emotions. This particular series which culminates in The Master is one that I reread every year. She has a rare understanding of the balance of Chaos and Order which invites one to reflect upon one's own issues and reactions to life. She weaves a tapestry of words that teases one to challenge and to widen one's own perceptions in a very subtle way. This is a master at work. Her dark lord of chaos is deep, tantalizingly mysterious and haunting. His immortal struggle to maintain the balance between the stimulus of chaos and the sameness of order for all mankind is a seductive reminder of our own inner darkness and struggles. The blandness/perfection of the lord of order reminds one of the sugary monotony of too much of a good thing, ie: order, yet it too is appealing in its shiny, fool's gold qualities. The lord of order reminds one of the stagnation that arises from the stullifying effects of unremitting sameness. The characters are engaging and deeply developed. I wish Louise Cooper would write another trilogy on Chaos and Order, plumbing even greater depths of the themes and characters in the Time Master Trilogy. She creates a mind expanding body of work that I have found just impossible to not feel a hungry yearing for more of this fascinating subject. Simply irresistable.

The End is the Beginning...,
By
This review is from: Master (Mass Market Paperback)
Some have complained that the ending of this book is too pat, too easily wrapped up, and betrays the entire series, I didn't see it that way. I felt that the path and decisions that Tarod made were very easily understood. When betrayed by the gods that he devoted his life to, Tarod took the only path open to him. The story is fast-paced again, but has a wonderful pacing to it, so it doesn't feel too rushed. This stands as a wonderful work of imagination, and when read with the other books in the trilogy, succeeds at taking you to another world, complete and whole. If you can find it, get the entire trilogy and read it. You won't be disappointed.

I also feel that these books are very hard to find. I hope to pass along this trilogy, first to husbad, and then to whoever will take them from me. Really a great series, worth reading and the ideas and images will stay with you. Obviously I liked them!
