More About the Author

Sara Douglass was born in Penola, South Australia, and spent her early working life as a nurse. Rapidly growing tired of starched veils, mitred corners and irascible anaesthetists, she worked her way through three degrees at the University of Adelaide, culminating in a PhD in early modern English history. Sara Douglass currently teaches medieval history of La Trobe University, Bendigo and escapes academia through her writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Always a Surprise!, March 30, 2005

By

JHH (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Wayfarer Redemption 2: Pilgrim (Paperback)

I must say that one of the reasons I love Sara Douglass is because I never know what to expect when I pick up her books. Ms. Douglass does not fall into the trap of writing "formula" books and Pilgrim is no exception! The character development of Drago, which was really begun in Sinner, continues, and will surprise and I think delight many fans of the series. Unlike some other reveiwers, I found the development of the more well established characters (like Faraday and Axis) added significanly to their depths, (even if one would like to shake them on occasion!). After reading Pilgrim, both Faraday and Axis seem more "human" in their reactions to the situations and choices they face. Readers will not find Pilgrim disappointing, though they may be saddened that there is only one book left to this great series!

5.0 out of 5 stars Enchanter, December 16, 2001

By

Mary R Dvorsky (Iowa City, Iowa United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Wayfarer Redemption 2: Pilgrim (Paperback)

This book is extremely well written. Sara Douglass obviosly knows how to enthrall the reader, making that person want to know what happens next. This story weeves a kind of enchantment, it swirls in your mind making it seem as though this could acualy happen. It forces the mind to expand upon it, to change it, to live it. The sweeping plot, the characters interactions, the pain, and the joy. Forces the reader to laugh with Caelum's joy and to weep with Azhure's pain. To sing well and fly high, to know the pain, the sorrow, the heartbreak, and the betrayal. One must read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sheer excitement, May 5, 2000

By

Jason (Kirrawee, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Wayfarer Redemption 2: Pilgrim (Paperback)

Pilgrim is to be published later this year in the US as part of a six part series under the banner of The Wayfarer Redemption. Though this is a prophecy driven fantasy (with some science fiction blended in), it is stunningly original. It has great characters (including some vile villians), triumphs and horrible tragedies, amazing mysteries and exciting scenes that you will want to read over and over. For those of you who are agonising over impending Wheel of Time books (myself included), Battleaxe, Enchanter, Starman, Sinner, Pilgrim and Crusader were originally published in a Australia over a five year period. Sara Douglass is one prolific writer. Stuff the bloody Olympics, read this for some Aussie gold!
