4.0 out of 5 stars What happens when elves meet a dangerous cult?, January 21, 1999

By A Customer

I just finished reading this only yesterday. I was pleased that it was so long, but I still thought it ended kind of abruptly, I know Joe's story continues in Chrome Circle, but I was still going "but, but, but, uh, uh....". I liked the characters (although Alinor got a bit annoying at the end) and the descriptions of the cult compound freaked me out. All in all, not perfect but awfully darn close!

1.0 out of 5 stars Yuck!, May 25, 1999

By A Customer

I love all of the other Serrated Edge books, but this one is a definate flop. It featured a young boy being slowly starved and tortured to death by a Koreshian/NeoNazi cult. That made me sick. Most of the characters were very flat also. In short, a dull, depressing book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not heavy fare, but worth a read, July 8, 2000

By	KTuttle18 (Des Moines, IA United States) - See all my reviews

I found this book to be an entertaining example of its kind, and worth reading, especially if you are a Lackey fan. I did, however, find fault with some of the character developement. While the cases of Joe and especially Cindy are poignant, many of the other characters are less multi-faceted than one would expect. Good and evil are absolutes, with little room to explore the gray area of the different characters' consciences. However, these faults are far from dire, and I would not want to discourage a potential reader from enjoying this book for what it is; a side trip, as opposed to a journey, through an imaginary landscape.
