5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Read, August 20, 2000

This review is from: Waterdance (Paperback)

If you like your fantay filled with romance, then Anne Logston is the leading lady. Logston manages to write books that are enthralling (and safe) for youth and adults. She has an excellent sense of dialog and her stories are always complete.

Periann, daughter of the High Lord and Lady of Agrond, is on her way to her Aunt, High Lady of Bregond, to be prepared to take over that duty from her. Not the least thrilled, she takes a swift ride away from her guard to clear her head. Being the warrior that she is, she sees someone in trouble and rescues him. Low and behold, she rescues a Sarkond, the two other countries' greatest enemy.

Atheris could hardly believe he'd been rescued by a Bregond. He's being chased by deadly warriors trained to kill, though, and can't wonder too long. Chased into the land of her greatest enemy, Peri is forced to trust this man and follow his lead.

This book is a must for any Logston fan, but please read Firewalk first and get a good feel for the pride and history of those two countries: Agrond and Bregond.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect romantic fantasy, October 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Waterdance (Paperback)

I loved this book! For those readers who like their fantasy to have romance, this is the perfect one. The romance is strong and satisfying and the fantasy/magic element fascinating. Ms. Logston's world-building in this one and Firewalk is wonderful. She creates worlds that transport you there. I recommend Firewalk, but I enjoyed Waterdance the best because it's more romantic. I hope she writes a sequel with the same characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Strong Female Character To Remember, April 27, 2001

By 

Flame_926 "flame_926" (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Waterdance (Paperback)

Periann, the noble heroine of this novel, is a woman to remember! The author, Anne Logston, creates in Periann a woman that we can all relate to. She worries about her family, is concerned with the way that she is perceived, and wants to do what is "just," even if it is not socially accepted. Atheris, her rescuee/love interest, is convincing and sets a contrast to her character. The author has created a complex civilization in this novel and has done an incredible job with imagery. I would recommend this book to high-school and above ages due to the presence of some graphic scenes. Needless to say, they are few and it is an excellent book.
