5.0 out of 5 stars
a wonderful book,
This review is from: Mirage (Mass Market Paperback)
I picked this book up at the local bargain book store, caught by the intriguing cover art that reminds me of old style Tarot cards. Somehow I knew it would be good, and I was not disappointed. The characters are all very real. Kyre, the Sun Hound and hero, has to find out who he is. No small task considering that the people who summoned him aren't even sure. The climatic ending literally had me sitting on the edge of my seat. That hasn't happened for years!

Hard To Put Down,
By
This review is from: Mirage (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was my introduction to Louise Cooper. I actually picked it up because I liked the cover art and the synopsis read good. I read the book in one evening. You enter this devastated world with the main character, Krye. As he grows and moves through the story, you're drawn deeper into the character with him. I simply couldn't put the book down. The pace of the book is well-thought out, and the climax is thrilling, if just a bit over the top. However, the villainess, Calthar, is wonderfully wicked. She ranks as one of the greatest villains I've ever encountered. This signals the true strength of the novel: The well-developed characters. They all seem so real. I realize this book can be very hard to find nowadays, but it is VERY much worth the effort. I've reread this story many times, and it never fails to entertain.

Excellent,
By xenofan (Kansas, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mirage (Paperback)
I became a huge fan of Louise Cooper after reading the Chaos Gate trilogy and Time Master Trilogy. I wasn't sure what to expect from this, a standalone novel, as one of Cooper's greatest strengths is in gradually weaving together a complex and compelling plot and I wasn't too sure if she'd manage to achieve this in a much shorter span of pages.
But she has suceeded, and left me eager to read further works by her. The plot is gripping from the start, the characters well developed and believable. This is an excellent book and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys fantasy.
