3.0 out of 5 stars Great story, but the ending was confusing, September 30, 1999

By A Customer

This sequel to Child of the Grove tells a great story about the relationship between Crystal and Lord Death. The characters are well-rounded and very easy to sympathize with. I also liked the mythology "backstory".

However, the last 20 pages of the book were disappointing. It turns into a "dungeon crawl" complete with traps and monsters. At the end, the deep and breathtaking conflict between the characters is resolved in two pages, and wasn't described in enough detail to be dramatically satisfying. A kind of "deus ex machina" end with no ties to the beginning.

4.0 out of 5 stars Heard it before..but whatever floats yer boat, April 3, 1999

By A Customer

Maybe it's me, but the end of this book was exactly like the end of the Sword of SHannara series by Terry Brooks. If you liked that series, then for heaven's skaes, get this book!!!! If you did not, stay away, it dissapointed me.
