Timeless Tales 4 stars review, December 21, 2003
This review is from: Winddreamer (Paperback)
by Susan Tam Winddreamer is book #6 in the 10 book, WindLegends saga. This is the continuation of Conar McGregor's story. Legion A'Lex is still the King and Elizabeth (Liza) is still his wife. Legion and Conar are brothers. Conar and Elizabeth use to be married. Conar was believed to be dead and Legion married Elizabeth to protect her and her child but he has always loved her too! Legion is very jealous of Elizabeth and Conar's past. Although they have assured him they will never betray him, he is unable to believe this. Kaileel Tohre is back. He has in the past tortured Conar physically and sexually molested him when he was a child. Tohre wants Corbin, Conar's son since Corbin has magical powers but Tohre wants him sexually too! Thus the saga and the questions continue. Will Tohre be able to get Corbin? Will Legion and Elizabeth's marriage survive? Will Conar and Elizabeth be reunited? This was another powerhouse of a book by Ms. Boyett-Compo. The saga of Conar and Elizabeth continues with even more twists and turns. Ms. Boyett-Compo has written another intensely emotional, heart wrenching book. There is much pain and suffering throughout this book, emotional and physical by the various characters especially Elizabeth. It is definitely not for the faint of heart. If you have read any of the previous WindLegends books, be assured this one continues in the same vein. As Ms. Compo answers some of the questions raised in previous books even more are raised during this book. I would not recommend you picking up this book without reading the previous books. Since this is an on-going Saga, there is so much history between the various characters; it would be easier to understand the events/actions in Winddreamer if you have read books 1 through 5. However, if you invest the time and energy to read the books in this series, you will be rewarded with a tale that remains in your mind even after you have reached the last page!

5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent fantasy, April 30, 2005
This review is from: Winddreamer (Paperback)
Conar McGregor barely survived the horrific Labyrinth and his subsequent freedom as the Dark Lord seeking vengeance against his long time enemy the evil sorcerer Kaileel Tohre. He remained alive in the Labyrinth and afterward by dreaming of his beloved wife Liza. However, while he was thought dead, Liza, who loved Conar with her soul, married his best friend Legion A'Lex. Her second spouse loved her even before she wed Conar, but hid his feelings until he concluded that his friend was dead.
However, Conar returns from the dead and wants Liza back. Legion has tasted heaven and feels his wife reciprocates so he refuses to cede the field to Conar. Liza must choose between her first husband who she loves with all her soul and her second spouse who she loves with all her heart. Kaileel plans to use the triangle to kill Conar.
The sixth tale in the Windlegend saga, WINDDREAMER, is a terrific dark romantic fantasy that centers on a triangle that will tear at the hearts of the audience as each of the trio deserves better than fate's latest torment. Conar is a battered tortured soul whose solace is Liza and knows Legion has been a loyal friend; Liza loves both her men who she feels deserve the best, which she begins to believe is not her as she struggles to choose knowing one will be shattered; Legion is a good person who loves Liza and cherishes his fond friendship he once had with Conar. Throw in the evil Machiavellian sorcerer into the already entangled relationships lead to a great fantasy although reading the previous tales especially Book V, WINDREAPER, enhances the experience.
