Customer Reviews

Fantastically written

This book is superb - the writing is fast-paced and witty, and Larissa is one very tough, smart, and eminently likeable character. A great read - the only dissapointment, being the deceptiveness of the cover - maybe it's bad marketing to have a beautiful dark-skinned lady on the front cover - it certainly didn't take away from an excellently written book, but did make me a little disappointed in the way an otherwise admirable heroine was let down by her PR department.

I love this novel beause you really get into the character

I love all of Emily Devenport's novels but this is by far my favorite. What made me love this novel was Larissa's character. She's strong and intelligent about life. Devenport's writing pulls you into the troubles of Larissa's life and keeps you there til the very last word. I have recommended this novel many times and I myself have read it many times. If great writing and a good story is what you want then this is the book!

Very good read

It's been a while since I read this book, but I dropped by to check to see if Emily had written anything new and saw that Larissa hadn't gotten any on-line reviews. It's Red Sonja in Space... and I LOVED the Red Sonja saga. I enjoy all of Emily Devenports novels. I recommend them all.
