Customer Reviews

Haughty Spirit

I loved this book from front cover to back. It kept me guessing, made me cry and the results of finishing each chapter made my beloved husband all the more enthusiastic for future purchases. Sharon Green always has a moral but keeps the attention. I never find her books in a half-priced store or 2nd hand store because her work is brilliant and to be treasured. And re-read. Another winner! Don't let the stupid cover art fool you. When she used Boris, she had a great idea there.

A good read!

The novel was Sharon's first attempt at writing for a certain "specific" audience. It was not, in my opinion, written for the sex as much as it was for the discipline and D/S aspect. I believe this for several reasons but mostly because the company that published it focuses on the D/S genre. I enjoyed the book and I found the discipline scenes very hot. There were a few scenes that jump to mind immedietely as excellent. It may not be her best Fantasy work, but I've reread it quite a few times and I still enjoy it.

Excellent if you understand the message

And that message is that the most powerful have a responsibility to serve and aid others. We see this through three moral lives that the Goddess of Beauty, Meriath, is forced to live through by the God of Justice. Her relationships will evil men and wonderful gentlemen help her see how real women, the ones probably calling on her for help, live and this gives her compassion. By the end of the story Meriath is no longer the spoiled young goddess but a deity someone might not only have wet dreams about but feel happy to worship. The book cannot be easily classified as male dominant and female submissive however because the characters vary from life to life.

A Lesson in "Come-Uppance"

This story is about Meriath, an arrogant goddess who angers a god stronger than her and is "put in her place" by him. There are three "mini-stories" in the book where she becomes mortal and is cursed to "serve" the first man she sees at all times. She at times is treated cruelly by the men around her, but in the end the men who deserve it get their "just desserts."I found this story fascinating and was unable to put it down until I finished it. I loved the ending. I have yet to read any of Ms Green's other stories, but found her to be an entertaining author on this one.

"If you fail to serve the first man who desires you,

you will find no easing from serving any other. All relief will be denied you until you bring pleasure to the one you must serve first." is the curse Meriath must bear.From the back of the novel:When a goddess has a lot to learn, who will teach her...and how?"Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fell"-or so discovers Meriath, the Goddess of Beauty. Vain, imperious, and certain of her own power, she makes the serious mistake of annoying a deity even stronger than she...and finds herself cast down to earth, embarressingly mortal and saddled with an even more embaressing curse. Humilty, service and passion are just the first of the hard and strangey exciting lessons she is to learn...Sharon Green is the spectacularly prolific author of such science fiction classics as the mida series and the Terrilian series. Haughty Spirit, her first work of erotica, promises to take its place alongside A.N. Roquelaure's Beuty trilogy and other classics of the genre.
