Product Description

Forced to flee Tamlaght, Bronwyn finds refuge with her uncle, King Felix of Londeac. She continues to scheme ways to undo the villians who have all but ruined her homeland. She is amazed at the level of scientific and technological progress in Londeac, compared to her own country, where intellectual advancement is systematically stifled. She makes a new ally in the person of the director of a scientific academy: Professor Wittenoom. Treacherously betrayed, she flees Londeac in a hair-raising balloon/dirigible chase, only to fall into the hands of the faerie king, Spikenard. Later meeting a man she believes she is in love with, she is finally able to raise both an army and a navy, and leads an invasion of Tamlaght.

1.0 out of 5 stars So bad it's good, March 11, 2009

By	S. M. Stone (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is horrible. The descriptions are incoherent and nonsensical, much of the plot is not explained and quite a bit of it makes absolutely no sense. The good part of that, though, is that this book is SO bad it actually ends up being funny! If you actually want a good fantasy book, don't bother with this. Seriously, you'll regret it. If you just want something awful to laugh at, though, then this is the book for you!

1.0 out of 5 stars I could not believe my eyes, March 12, 2009

By	Star Shadow "Starshadow" (Seatac, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just read two pages and my brain has broken.

I've read worse fanfiction, but someone paid the author for this drivel? It's worse than Gor. It's worse than Naked Came The Stranger. It's worse than...well, I hope you get the picture. My guess is that Arthur Clarke was having a bad day or they left out the part of the quote that said the author was unfairly advantaged in that he couldn't write if his life depended upon it. "Her pubes was..." is only the start of the horrid grammar lapses. Who proofread this piece of drek?

The descriptions he overuses make absolutely zero sense, as well. Anyone picking this book up deserves what they get.

Did I mention this book is really awful?

1.0 out of 5 stars With Apologies to Woody Allen, March 12, 2009

By	James W. Roy "Maps & Guitars" (NYC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is A Miasma of Inane Cliches Unrivaled in Western Letters.

Either it NEVER saw an editor, or the editor knew no English.

Appalling.
