4.0 out of 5 stars Three, no FOUR cheers for Twilight Crossings, April 13, 2004

This review is from: Twilight Crossings (Paperback)

Speculative fiction, for years, has stood apart for various reason. This set of four novellas ie yet another reason why. ISADORA, TWIN STAR, EIDOLON, and THEIF OF DREAMS are all truly independant voices. Vivid imagery and world building take you to each world, and capitvate you for a short time.

Well done ladies.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantasy lives on..., July 22, 2004

This review is from: Twilight Crossings (Paperback)

This is a combination of Sci-Fi and Fantasy type of novel. It contains four separate stories.

In ISADORA by Jeanne Allen, a young woman is accused of witchcraft and sentenced to burn all because she falls in love with a strange traveler. I cannot reveal where the traveler is from though. That is vital to the story. I would prefer you, as the reader, to find out on your own.

In TWIN STAR by Jeanine Berry, a young woman of the Dorshan race is a "true dreamer". The ruler seeks a bride and orders several single women locked in his harem so he may sample them and choose. These two may change their entire world.

In EIDOLON by Shannah Biondine, a young lady (sort of) has a wager with her brother. I REFUSE to tell anything about her brother though. Part of the story's surprise is finding out. Anyhow, the brother maintains that humans are selfish, lazy, and greedy. She is to secure a pact with a mortal who must prove himself better than his peers. Both demonic and heavenly hosts await the outcome.

In THIEF OF DREAMS by Sheri L. McGathy, the daughter of a lord is wooed by two men. One wants her for herself. The other wants her because the joining of their houses would be considered a great alliance. They have one year to win her heart. This story involves a Faery Ring. Telling anything more would ruin the tale.

**** Fantastic stories from awesome authors that you will want to read over and over. I enjoyed every moment of the book. These stories do not target a certain audience. Great for male or female. Recommended! ****

5.0 out of 5 stars Magical Stories, July 12, 2003

This review is from: Twilight Crossings (Paperback)

Skillful writing and magical themes highlight this fine collection of impressive stories. 'Isadora' delivers a different slant on the Salem Witch Trials theme. 'Twin Star' comprises a fascinating alien romance story. 'Eidolon' explores a different type of brother and sister. 'Thief of Dreams' is a tale filled with fairies and fairy rings and forest creatures and lovers betrayed. This anthology is well worth the price.
