1.0 out of 5 stars At least it ends..., December 31, 2000

By	Michael Valdivielso (Alexandria, VA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This is a sad end of a very painful series. All three books just don't seem to fit in the 'Xena' Universe. And the ending, while being right out of a Greek style play, is not really fulfilling. Don't get me wrong, I want books to be made about Xena, BUT by somebody else! I don't need to know every little detail of a dusty trail or a copper cup or the deep blue sea.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Cool!, September 20, 2000

By A Customer

I think that this book has a very satisfying ending, and that any die-hard Xena fan should have it, in addition to all the other Xena books that this fantastic author has written.

3.0 out of 5 stars Tastes great, less filling, November 22, 2007

While I absolutely love everything to do with the Xenaverse, I was a little disappointed with this conclusion to Ru Emmerson's series. The story was good, but it was kinda out of a Greek drama (hmmm... guess I shouldn't complain since it's about a couple of ancient Greeks) but after all the buildup in the first two about how difficult it was going to be to find Helen, I was dimayed how how absurdly easy it ended up being and the whole segment in the maze was not very believable. I also had some difficulty with her portrayal of Gabrielle and her relationship with Xena... finding it difficult to place exactly when during the series this might have taken place.

On the flip side. Will I keep this book in my collection? Yup. Will I read this book again? You betcha.
