5.0 out of 5 stars Exellent Book, March 13, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Spellkey (Library Binding)

The Spellkey is a great book. I stumbled across in a bookstore several years ago and begged my mom to let me get it - she did, because it was on sale. Since the first time I have read it, I've probably re-read the book four or five times. It is well-written and keeps you wondering what will happen next. It is not, in fact, a perverse book. There are a total of two lovemaking scenes in the book, and they occupy only a paragraph each and are expressed mainly in the emotions the two characters feel. I think this a wonderful book. It gives me a comfortable escape. The two main characters are very interesting, and one ends up caring deeply for them. It's a great read, if it can be found.

5.0 out of 5 stars I don't see your point. The book was great., November 9, 2001

This is a great book with or without a love life. There were very few scenes involving sex, that is unless you have a perverted imagination and can twist anything.
It is detailed with characters who all have there own story outside of the begining of the trilogy.
Anne Downer describes her people and places with detail but without being boring. I would recommend this book to anybody, regardless of marital status.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting plot, but often confusing, December 7, 2010

Old-fashioned mom - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Spellkey (Library Binding)

Many fantasy books are confusing, and then clarify in the end. This one is often confusing, but it seems due to its writing style. OTOH, one definitely cares about the characters, and this says something. There are also several intriguing creatures and places that keep you hooked!

My 11 YO and I loved Ms. Downer's "Hatching Magic" and "The Dragon of Never-Was". So I checked this out of the library. In addition to the sex scenes others have mentioned, there is also rape, incest, and prostitution. My 11 YO won't be getting this book. It is teen/young adult.
