Title: Edgy Uber Fiction
Product review: There are now a plethora of commercially produced uber based books, so many that I'm sort of getting weary of the older dark-haired woman (Xena) and the younger talkative blonde (Gabrielle) and their perfection. In some books, the events are the same as those in the TV show, just in a different setting. It's starting to annoy me that the jacket copy and publicity don't mention clearly "Xena Uber Fiction" so I know I'm not getting original character conceptions.This book is a cut above in that is has a futuristic, edgy feel that avoids sentimentality. Beck is not afraid to transform the the Xena/Gabrielle characters as she builds her world. I really enjoyed it, so much so that I was able to forget its uber roots.
