1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing , despite my love for the Xena adventures., November 2, 1999

By	CJ Chargualaf ([e-mail]) (Latte Heights, Mangilao, Guam) - See all my reviews

I love watching the Tv show. I can't live without it. When I bought this book, I thought, oh, cool. A Xena novel. I was very disappointed. It was thin and didn't seem all that exciting. When I finished reading it, I thought I wasted my money. No offense. It barely displayed the Xena characteristics that we all have come to love. I have written stories of the Warrior Princess more exciting and suspenseful. I would recommend this book to those who aren't die hard Xenites.

1.0 out of 5 stars Predictable and Wrong, June 13, 2008

By	Meushell (CA, USA) - See all my reviews

Aside from the big question "Who sent the arrow?", there are other predictable scenes in this book. Not to say that being able to predict was a bad thing. I enjoy discovering I'm right. Other people may not though.

Overall, the story was fun, but the author make too many mistakes about Gabrielle's history. The name of Gabrielle's hometown is wrong. Her parents and sister seems to have been forgotten. I had really looked forward to reading her interaction with them. As a Gabrielle fan, this really annoyed me.

Also, after the long arrow chase, the story is finished with a solution that Xena should have done in the first place.

Also, the back of the book completely leaves out a storyline that was just as important as the Myx Arrow. Unlike the arrow story, this storyline is there from the first chapter to the last. That storyline makes the "bad guy" not really a bad guy, but Xena and Gabrielle don't acknowledge it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read for any Xena fan!, May 30, 2007

By	R. Sorrow (Georgia USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really enjoyed reading this book,even though it was short. The story kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time,although I had a pretty good idea of who had sent the arrow. The appearance of Hercules was a pleasant bonus-no Xena story is really complete without him. Any Xena fan would love this book-I highly recommend it.
