2.0 out of 5 stars Readable but silly over-simplified background, October 20, 1999

If you expect your furturistic romance to be well thought out and believable, you will have a hard time getting though the first chapter. We are expected to accept that a society that is small enough to have all of the woman get up and leave and live on one island also is strong enough to conquer their entire planet and then head out to space and conquer numerous worlds too. And yes this same space-travelers dudes can't figure out how to use their space suits to go get their woman from the poisonous mist and are also reduced to observing only the peak of a moutain with their mist piercing telescope because nobody thought to put the telescope on one of their nifty airsleds and fly overhead. The story would have worked better if they had just been a small non-to advanced species, but I guess some one told the author furturistics had to have spaceships even though they have nothing to do with the main story. OK so the background is silly. But the story is readable. Naive and simplistic, but readable. The characters are interesting, but their is never any real strife. Everything just falls into place. Interestingly the hero and heroine don't meet until half way though the book and actually only have a couple of scenes together. They both spend time worring about how they will ever get along, but when they get together their relationship is perfect. Interesting idea, not particuliarly well done.

5.0 out of 5 stars From the Mist, July 17, 2001

This review is from: From the Mist (Futuristic Romance) (Paperback)

This is a book I have picked up many times to enjoy over and over again. The idea of women getting so tired of the "macho" mentality, that they form their own society is very apealing to me sometimes. Of course we know that the two sides have to come together again. Watching the society grow to accomidate and reintragrate makes me wish for the next book, so I could know what happens next. The strenght of the women, which matches and at times overcomes the men, is a joy to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic, March 4, 2009

I loved this book and have the 1st printing. I have re-read this book so many times and it just gets better. The women who have isolated themselves on the island gave up so much to shape the future of their plant. The men have had to curtail their war making because of the population control the women held over them. The women and men in the story are very strong characters, yet both have to bend to bring the two societies back together and make it work.
