4.0 out of 5 stars A fun read, February 18, 2000

By	P. Ortman (Midwest) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In Revenent the sixth demon Indigo faces is the most abstract she has faced up until this point. This makes the palpable evil that pervaded the previous books nearly nonexistent in this, despite the haunting cover art, and the grim title. This is still a wonderful book, and quite original. She creates an atmosphere of a society so driven to efficiency and the procuring of wealth, that even their language has been effected. Their society is tightly regimented, and politeness is used only as far as it serves their own ulterior motives. What I found to be one of the most interesting facets, was her ability to make fun and singing and dancing seem to be evil. I have seen other authors attempt this kind of situation. It probably has not been done as well since Aldus Huxley in "A Brave New World". Louise Cooper again shows her tremedous ablilty to get you involved in the story. Sadly some of the plot twists I did see coming, but "Revenant" is still a great book. Sadly, this is one of the more difficult to find of the Indigo Saga, but it is well worth the effort.
