Mirian Garcia _iriang — A fangirl biography of Pallas Athena. What is not to love! It's written by a Mt. Holyoke professor and touches on the modern cultural relevance of Athena. Should be fun! EDIT: Well I finished it. Actually the author just retells the myths in which Athena appears. She also makes a number of suppositions that even an Athena fan girl (such as myself) would find doubtable. I find it difficult to believe that Athena was the basis for the African goddesses (especially knowing Aphrodite hails from Africa). I also fail to see how Athena, a virgin goddess is the archetypal monotheistic goddess. In fact I would argue it is Hera, who was then subjugated and ridiculed by the Greeks. But despite all her claims about how awesome Athena is...the retelling of myths is pretty good and some of her commentary is excellent.

Jim Neefall jimneefall — Just finished reading again as it is my habit to re-read each summer. It is always capivating -- never gets old.

Mattia Sarti mattiasarti — This book was really good!! This book was high above the standard Harlequin Romance novels. There was a lot of action, intense scary moments, and you really got a good read of the characters. The characters are Annie (captain with the air force) and Tom (commander of a special ops team) In the beginning, Annie is piloting a helicopter into the jungle in the middle of the night to pick up the special ops team. They come running with rebels on their tails. Annie's crew begin the process of dropping a basket down to retrieve the men one at a time. Just as she has the last man in the basket, the line gets jammed and one of the rebels on the ground has a shoulder missile locked and loaded aimed for the helicopter. She makes the decision to just start flying away, even though she figured the last man had very little chance of surviving being thwacked and dragged through all the trees. She risked one life to save 9. That man was Tom, and he miraculously survived. He had both legs broken, one arm, a color bone, several fingers, three ribs, ect ect. She was ordered to pose as his wife and give the cover story that he was rock climbing and fell. She was to rent an apartment and sneak him out of the hospital as soon as he was able to walk. For 7 weeks he was basically out of consciousness. When he woke he recalled waking a few times to her stroking his hair offering words of comfort. He immediately thought of her as an angel. She explained the situation, and a couple days later they left the hospital (his room was bugged) and holed themselves up in the apartment she had rented. Immediately he got into contact with his team, and they made frequent visits. Quickly enough the attraction between Annie and Tom took over and they stopped fighting it. Annie couldn't bring herself to tell him that she was the pilot who was flying the helicopter on the last mission. So the politics in this country are taking a major nose dive and the government is quickly losing control to the rebels. When the rebels had staked claim to land completely surrounding the city they were in, they knew they had to get out. They quickly learned from one of Tom's men that the US Embassy had cleared out and it was too late to escape the country that way. They had to work together dressed in all black and move through the city only at night killing any soldiers who got into their way. This part of the book is very intense, and very good! I was captivated. I could imagine it all and think it would make a fantastic movie! The ending was awesome and I really wish I could see it on film!

Bauer Robert _obiwankenobi — Dee Henderson is one of my favorite authors, and the O'Malley series is great! This one and Danger in the Shadows (the series prequel) are my favorites. I really like the way Kate wrestles with the questions of faith in this story.

Ferran Aliaga ferran1963 — Fallenwood is a fantasy within a fantasy. The storyline and characters are incredible. Leslie Soule has one amazing imagination. The creativity that Soule uses in her character devolvement was just outstanding. I would have liked to known her as a child. I’m sure she had one wild imagination. Fallenwood had me in a fantasy of my own with the six kingdoms, Kings, Queens, Magician, Jester, Gypsies, Shifters, Fairies, and a Dragon. That's doesn’t even being to touch all the characters in Fallenwood. Like I said, incredible storyline. Sixteen-year-old Ash is struggling with her stepfather's death, and finds herself sucked into a magic realm on a quest for the Great Crystal. Ash teams up with Will, a Magician, Terces the Jester, a cat named Greymalkin, and Prince Edward, who she rescuers from the dungeon of Everdown. I really enjoyed seeing Ash grow into her own strength as a person and finding her own self-worth and the Prince she would fall in love with. Fallenwood is a beautiful fantasy, full of magic, struggles, and love. I recommend Fallenwood as a must read. And for those who love High Fantasy, you’re going to love this book.
