I just finished Barbarian and I loved it. You do not have to read DoTM to understand it at all. I know I was worried because this book and Escape came out before The Becoming, which is supposed to finish DoTM, but rest assured, You can get through this book without being spoiled -of course this is speculation, as The Becoming still isn't out yet.
Admittedly the writing is kinda choppy as it has been in some of Lynne Ewing's other books, but it's interesting to see the same universe as her previous series taken from a different perspective. That's what made The Sacrifice so good. Boys sure think differently than girls, don't they?
I like the main character, Obie. Like Vanessa in DoTM, he sets the story into motion without seeming like an idiot. The boys of SoTD seem to know what they're doing a lot more that the girls of DoTM.

Pretty good book. After The Becoming I was thrilled to see this book. It's really great. Seeing thrings through a guy's perspective is really different, and the book answered alot of questions I had about Nefandus. I think Obie is an interesting character you can relate to and I definatly recommend reading it!

A very good book. It explains a lot more about Nefundus and it's kind of cool how Lynne Ewing connected the Daughters of the Moon to The Sons of the Dark. It was a enjoyable book.

Book:

It starts out with your average teenage boy, or so you may think.

Obie isn't just any teenage boy, he comes from the third century of our earth and was part of a people called the Visigoths. Obie can't stand where he is and the only realease he seems to have is music. He plays in a band with guys much older than him but, he doesn't care.

He takes a specail intrest in Alison a girl that has it all, the popularity, the friends, and the star football player.

In the end Obie finds out who killed his father and he has been seeking revenge every since. He was inslaved a alternate dimentio called Nefandus and thats where he was made imortal.

Obie and his friends set off to destroy the one that murdered his father.

My opinion:

This book was easy reading and I couldn't ever put it down. The story is so unique and theres so much to it you think that you'll never get it but the infromation fits together so perfectly and it makes you root for the heros.

I really enjoyed this book and I definately recoment it thats why I give it five out of five stars.

I liked Barbarian and how it started a new plot and concept in the same world that Daughters of the Moon took place in. Ms. Ewing has managed to write a story from the male perspective quite well. Good book, I recommend it if you liked the Daughters of the Moon series.

I love this book. It was in top condition and got here very quickly. Thank you.

First book to a spell binding series.

At first when I started the book I thought it would be all about a teenage outcast trying to fit in at a new highschool.

Soon I found that it was not the case.

I absolutely love the way she uses a totally realistic teenage life senario and adds her dose of gothic fantasy.

Obbie, the main character, is one of the Sons of Dark in a ancient legend. He is also the historically oldest of the group.

This book is all about his life.

Known throughout highschool as a 'loner' he is also apart of a band, finding that music is the only real escape from this time.

As the book progresses, we find out that he will remain the same age forever, he is eternal, moving around when he graduated from highschool and then going to another, imagine stuck in highschool forever.

As strange and mysterious events are put into place, he finds out the truth of his father murder and knows he must avenge his death...what will befall this mysterious youth and his gothic adventure...

You find out...

Ok i am really behind in my reading... this book came out in '04 and I got it in '05 and didn't finish it until '06 LoL ~~ Anyway about the book: This is a great book. It really is a fun read and the situations Obie gets into are quite funny. Since he's from a different time he doesn't exactly fit in in the modern world. I enjoyed Obie's courage in the story, Berto's recklessness and Kyle's protection over them both. LoL I also liked that Catty was slightly mentioned, but it was a bit sad to know what happened between her and Kyle. Well anyway I reconmend this book to everyone guys and girls! Thanks to DOTM i met a great guy... yes he actually reads DOTM haha... This was a great book and i can't wait to get started on the others. If you wanna chat AIM: yugi naruto girl ~ Lata

This book has a lot of funny parts in it and I love Obie's power. I also love how it explains where he came from and who his family was. Obie does what he wants and he doesn't listen to Kyle at all. Plus Obie is kinda.....old but he is stuck in a 15 year old body. And he has to deal with school! Everyone has so got to read this book.

i just want 2 know if any of the DotM people are in here. (besides kyle and catty)
