"This is a really good story. Full of names that I can't pronounce, lots of back history and full of made-up races of quasi-human characters with strange mental abilities -- who could ask for anything more? --From A Reader's Journal, by d r melbie. " — David (5 out of 5 stars)
"This is a really good story. Full of names that I can't pronounce, lots of back history and full of made-up races of quasi-human characters with strange mental abilities -- who could ask for anything more? --From A Reader's Journal, by d r melbie. "
" I just read the last book in the 3 Worlds series and now I look back at Katazza with new feelings and thoughts... "
" Book two in the View from the Mirror series and it was definately better than the first book. It still dragged a little bit but once the group got to their destination it was interesting to see how everyone managed to converge. "
" Another enjoyable read. Looking forward to book 3 "
" The writing style takes a bit of getting used to but this 2nd book in the series is better than the 1st. Everybody has to make their way after a war, and they all end up at a tower. There's about 5 different stories interweaving here and that makes it an intereting read. "
" Boring in places but characters are engaging enough to make you keep reading. "
" This book wasn't quite as good as the first one, but that's generally the way with series. Unfortunately, I think the artwork on the front of the book was better than the actual book, but the story line could have been great if a little bit better developed. "
" Totally melds and disforms the line between good and evil. It makes me upset that his other series were not published in the US. "
" This story is excellent. I am jumping right into Volume 3 and I will save my comment for when I have finished Volume 4 of this quartet. --From A Reader's Journal, by d r melbie. "
" I have finished The Tower on The Rift, well that was a week ago. I had lined up some other books to read, but yet again Mr Irvine has got me in and I have moved on to book three the series Dark Is The Moon. "
" Irvine explores the geography of his world even further. If you thought that no sequel could be as good as the original, think again. The plot doesn't flag at any point during the entire series. It's an intense ride! "
" The 2nd Vol from The View from the Mirror & it just keeps getting better. I love the characters & the storyline. "
" A decent start. It does take a while to get going though, swapping between characters regularly was confusing and distracting at first. The world is well written, and you definately get to know its history. The ending seemed slightly rushed to give a shock for readers to buy the next book. "
" The narration has something of the style of the old 1970s fantasy and some science fiction, but my nostalgia for that style doesn't make up for how "meh" this book left me. By the end I was tired of everyone's misery and backstabbings. "
" Fast paced, there is never a lull for the characters or the readers to catch a breath. For the most part this works well but character development loses out, particulary amongst the bit players in the story. Can't wait to read part 2. "
" Good book! Warning: The ending is quite "bitin" or lacking. It was pretty obvious that there is a next part. Sadly, I don't have the two books! Better find them soon! "
" Got boring fast, couldn't finish it all the way through. "
" A reasonably bright twelve-year old could write better than this. Breaks almost every rule in the book, most painfully (and continuously!) "show don't tell". I'm amazed and appalled that this not only got published, but that Irvine was also apparently paid to produce sequels. "
" How did this get published? "
" I'm trekking through the hills. Leane, leane trek, trek, trek, trek, trek, rubbish!!the view from the mirror vol I "
" Love this author!! Admittedly I have only read his books about the 3 worlds but ever single one of them is excellent! "
" This was a cracking series and the characters were excellent. They were unusual characters, very flawed. The story is quite long and again descriptive, but the writing is very strong. "
" LOVED IT! The plot was great and the characters were terrific. "
