"Satisfying sequel to the classic "She," which I read a few months ago and still think about. Must be one of the greatest characters written--imminently fascinating even in a second book. Read the first one first though or you will have no idea what's going on. "

" Enjoyed this a bit more than the original, thanks in part to the original illustrations. "

— Pierre, 7/23/2013" The scene where Ayesha leads the charge of her cavalry into battle is one of my favorites. "
— Zatoichi, 7/5/2013" It was ok. Not the best of the "She" stories. "
— Matt, 11/3/2012" Nowhere near as enjoyable as She but many of my comments on that preceding volume pertain to this. Mystical soulfulness slows and drags the story into a haze. "
— Robin, 10/27/2012" This book unscrambled the ambiguity of the first part. But the ending is mournful... "
— Mary, 9/30/2012" Loved the adventure and follow up storyline to the prior book. "
— Suzette, 9/21/2012" A continuation of SHE, Ayesha is a more melancholic book, portraying the eternal quest of Man for the unachievable in us. In the end, reaching a goal is not as satisfying as we would like to believe. "
— Paulo, 5/2/2012" Satisfying sequel to the classic "She," which I read a few months ago and still think about. Must be one of the greatest characters written--imminently fascinating even in a second book. Read the first one first though or you will have no idea what's going on. "
