Book Reviews of Maia
Book Review: Classic Literature--Adventurous Tale: Intrigue Fantasy & Sex
Summary: 5 Stars
I often think of this Classic tale of Intrigue, Fantasy, Sex, Slavery, and Freedom--set in a Romanesque Empire, in a harsh world of Constant Struggle for Survival.I read this book approximately ten years ago, and I still think about it often. Richard Adams writes a very Compelling tale that should be placed among the Greats, such as Tolkien. Unfortunately, when I was young, I turned books in for credit on new books and I have not seen a copy since that time. I searched for this book, today, to make absolutely sure I have a copy for my library.
I cannot wait to share this book with others, and I strongly hope it stays in print. This novel deserves far more shelf space that it receives.
I have never forgotten the Characters in "Maia." They are truly well-written and the story grabs you, pulls you in and does not let-go. This is one of those rare books that you do not want to End.
Lately, I have been reading "The Light Bearer," and it reminds me of "Maia." It seems anyone who likes one would like the other. "Maia" has that Romanesque feel, in the capitol city--and other, even more Dangerous lands are explored.
This is an Epic Adventure Tale, that you will never forget.
