Negative Positive
Title: unimaginative and lacks heart...
Review: as someone who reads a lot of futuristic romance, I picked this up hoping this was a good book.Elaine Barbieri is a well known writer of predominately western romance. Back in '95 when this was written-fantasy romance had just been introduced and very popular. There were many romance writers who jumped on the "fantasy romance" bandwaggon, hoping for a bestseller. Most could not pull off the switch from other genres-this is one of them.Sadly, the writing is so hackneyed it's obvious that this is not Miss Barbieri's forte'. The language is something out of a bad episode of Star Trek, the characters one dimensional, the writing WAY of the top and just downright silly. The book was just embarrassingly bad:(I would definately say skip this book.
