Delacorte Press, 2008
Messing with G?d and war... still a MASTER!
First of all let me clarify something.
There's clearly a campaign in Amazon against this book.
You have hundreds of dismal reviews based on one thing only:
Child messed with WAR PROFETEERING creeps!
and the usual fascist monkeys came out to oppose this book.
Pitiful.
Specially from the ones ...

Crippled Dreams & Love and Madness 1 review David Rehak
CreateSpace, 2008
long-ago settings, timeless themes
These two novels in one now re-published are already separately reviewed a bunch of times, probably far more effectively than I ever could manage, but I just wanted to add one thing. I'm amazed by the economy of words, never is a word wasted on unnecessary prose. The plot moves the story for long ...

Raven Rise (Pendragon) 27 reviews D. J. MacHale

Pendragon's Last Stand
+ pendragon + AMAZING!!!
After Pilgrims of Raine I was very excited when I heard that another book was coming out. Raven Rise really delivered. The characters were dramatic yet comical. I normally don't like first-person point of view stories, but this is the exception.

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008
Girlfriend made me read it...
+ Amazing! + Not as good, but needed
I started this series at my girlfriend's recommendation. I was afraid it would be like those Danielle Steele books. But it was surprising. This particular book in the series starts tying up some loose ends and I have already bought the 4th book in the series to read next.

I really liked this one. I think it was the best of the four author stories that Gibson has written. It is like everything conspires against her but she remains somewhat sane. I mean how sane would you feel if you thought you were cursed?
