5.0 out of 5 stars An incredible book, independant of the game it was based on, May 5, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Toybox (Immortal Eyes Trilogy, Book 1) (Paperback)

The Toybox, first book in the Immortal Eyes trillogy, is one of the richest novels based on a game that I have ever read. It begins with a young girl attempting to deal with her newfound knowledge of a fairy society living in San Fransisco, of which she is a part.

A cast of characters is introduced, comprised of changelings and humans with enourmously diverse personalities. The story then immediately takes you along a rich tapestry of fae lore and modern fantasy, ending with you wanting even more.

I heartily recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST BOOK I'VE EVER READ GETS YOU HOOKED AND PULLS YOU IN., February 12, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Toybox (Immortal Eyes Trilogy, Book 1) (Paperback)

I had never read a book about faries before, until my friend bought me this book. I was a little skeptical at first, because of the nature of the book, but once I started reading it I was compelled to read even more, as I learned about a world I knew nothing of. I have read all three books in this triliogy, and love them all! I must have read each one 5 times. Anyways I would Definetly recommend this book to anyone who reads even the slighest bit of Science Fiction or Fantasy. Please if you read this and am as happy with this book as I am e-mail me and give a review of your own, or just tell me what you thought of it, cause you know it's nice to keep in touch with people who share similar interests. My address is [e-mail] again I give this book a ten and I'd give it an eleven if I could! P.S. Read the other books as well! (The Court of All Kings), and (Shadow on the Hills).

A fascinating story set in a fascinating world. Granted, it's aworld with which I am already familiar but it didn't seem to me that areader unfamiliar with the world would be hard-pressed to understand what was happening; Cassada seems to me to do an excellent job of providing background information to the uninitiated without boring those readers familiar with the White Wolf universe. The book did not read like a chronicle of a gaming campaign; the characters were fresh and compelling, and the plot flowed well. Neither did it seem to end unfulfillingly, as beginnings of trilogies frequently do; while we have seen a plotline that is left incomplete as a lead-in to the next book, enough loose ends are tied up that it does not feel as though we have simply read the first third of a story; we've read a full story, and there are others to follow. If there is a criticism, it is that there are a few too many sidhe (noble) characters, compared to the other kith. But this is truly nit-picking; this is a marvellous tale.
