Maggie is running out of time on this earth. And before she can name her successor, she reflects on the incredible, age-old journey that brought her to where she is. As a girl in ancient Athens, her father was a great warrior and leader of men. However, it was Maggie, known then as Penelope, who chose to battle the greatest enemy of all-the Atrox. After seeing an innocent man succumb to the Atrox and his shadowy followers, she takes a vow to help cleanse the world of its evil. But in doing so, she may have to forego the love of the great soldier, Hector, and lose her sister to the dark side.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great one., October 24, 2003

This review is from: The Talisman (Daughters of the Moon, Book 10) (Hardcover)

I'm impressed with this book. The whole series has revolved around the Daughters and left much mystery concerning Maggie. This book thoroughly explains Maggie's past, starting with when she first learned of the Atrox and how she got involved in the fight against it. Ewing once again demonstrates her wonderful ability to detail everything she writes about, and the ending is just as good as the beginning. It's one of those books that you just can't seem to put down. As to who will take her place, it leaves you in much thought and anticipation for the 11th book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Good Book, October 1, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Talisman (Daughters of the Moon, Book 10) (Hardcover)

When I first heard that this book would be about Maggie instead of one of the daughters, I thought it would be really boring and disappointing. But I was wrong! This book was actually very good and it was a nice way to say goodbye to Maggie. All DOTM fans should read this but anyone who likes Greek mytholgy and stuff like that might also find this book slightly interesting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Daughter's of the Moon fans must read!, September 12, 2003

This review is from: The Talisman (Daughters of the Moon, Book 10) (Hardcover)

This is a really great book, however a little slow in the beginning. This book is about Maggie, her past, and how she bacame involved with The Atrox and Daughter's of the Moon. I must warn anyone though, that this book revolves only around Maggie, the Daughter's are never mentioned. Its so great to finally learn about Maggie. You can't read Daughter's of the Moon without reading this Book!
