Book Reviews of Illusion
Book Review: Very absorbing, it sucks you in.
Summary: 5 Stars
A story very similar to that of the French Revolution, with magic and illsions thrown in, provide the story line for this book. From the moment you first meet Eliste to the end of the story, it is almost impossible to put this book down. Uncle Quinz, Zerolenn, Eliste, and Dref are such compelling characters, and Whiss and his minions are very hateable. I finished this book in one day, but I stayed up very late to do it. This book rocks!Book Review: Wonderful Book!

Summary: 5 Stars
I am not particuler to rewritten history or such since history is written by the victors of the past. This book...just pulled me in and held me there until the end of the book. Having read many fantasy and Sci-Fi books of various colors and flavors (a little physics here), I have never read such an adsorbing book that gives so much emotion and yet a reality to the setting as this. The author does a great job of creating the mood of the exalted to the terror of being one. This is a must read for those that like to be spell bound. Just remember to not have anything to do to before reading it and if you smoke... better be outside, it gets frustrating at times (not the writing, but the situations of the character) :)Book Review: a multiple read
Summary: 5 Stars
Even though I read this book when it first came out in 1992, it has remained one of my most favorite books of all time. I have a total of 8 copies, 3 U.S. hardcovers, 2 U.K. hardcovers, trade paperback, advanced reading copy, and a mass paperback. Some are signed by Ms. Volsky, and yes, this IS extreme. But if you need an idea as to how good this book really is, that should do it. I've read everything Ms. Volsky has done but nothing quite lives up to this one. I continue to eagerly watch for a new book from her, but no such luck. Drop the current fantasy drivel that costs way too much to invest in. Find a copy of this one, special order it, whatever-- JUST READ IT.
