This series just keeps getting better. And there's more to come! Nemi is the next book in the series. :) I have loved Christopher Pike's books for 16 years and he never ceases to amaze me. I very highly recommend this series, as well as all his other books. (Especially The Season of Passage) :)

Come post at my Pike forum: [...]

The third book in the Alosha series deals with what I had thought would be the final battle against the Shaktra. Come to find out, there's a fourth book that's not yet in print (even though this one was published in '06). That was disappointing, as the tale is not yet wrapped up.
Besides that, however, this volume of the series was excellent. More information about the Shaktra (and the Shaktra's superior) is revealed, and the story is advanced. Also, this is a happier book than either of the first two.

The book came in wonderful condition. Brand NEW!!!! My Granddaughter loves the series, and was delighted to get it. Kudo's for such a wonderful book and such fast delivery!!

This series begins with a promising young adult novel and evolves into an increasingly complex, philosophical and perceptive adult-level series. By the third book in this ongoing series, one feels that as the characters harden and mature into wise protagonists and complex antagonists, we understand along with them the knowledge that good and evil is only a matter of perspective. But, the novel begs the question; does the end justify the means? Both "good" and "evil" characters have decisions to make, and carefully laid plans to initiate and undertake. Only the author knows how far either side will go to win the ultimate battle for the fate of two increasingly dangerous dimensions.

This gets bogged down with a lot of crap in the middle. It's nowhere near the fun, speedy read Alosha was or as riviting as Shaktra.

What a book. I haven't read any of Christopher Pike's books before but this serious just blew me away. I started reading the first book on Friday and finished the last one on Saturday and now going back to make sure I didn't miss anything. I think people of all ages can relate to the charaters in the book. Warning once you pick these books up you won't be able to put them down.

This is a great series for anyone who loves fantasy without mature themes. And of the series, this is the best of the books.. so far. The plot keeps getting more complex and has a cliffhanger ending that will leave you yearning for the next installment!

Christopher Pike does it again with another great book. Amazon didn't do a bad job of shipping it superfast either :)

What can I say? From the beginning of Shaktra, the series picks up pace and takes you on a exciting ride with more mysterious characters coming out of the woodward and throwing you deeper into the world of the Alosha series, where you cannot help but keep reading and wanting more.
It's theme is so strong and relevant and conveyed via such a beautiful and intriguing story. It's part young adult, part adult; part fantasy, part thriller. Fantastical! The rating for this book would be off the scale.

I am 21 years old and I have been a fan of Christopher Pike's since I was 13.I was worried that because of my age I would not love the Alosha series like I would his other books.Its suppose to be a series for children but does not read like that at all.All 3 books are amazingly insightfull and emotionaly overwelhming but especially this book.Its filled with fairy tales,things that warm your heart,and things that break your heart.Its absolute Genius and defintly lives up to Pike's skill.No matter what your age read this book
