I Love Isis...

Whit and Kali are at it again in this third installment of the Isis series. I'm not usually a big fan of science fiction books (movies and TV yes, books no), but this one has captured my attention and I have thoroughly enjoyed these stories. This book has everything - lovers, friends, enemies, athletes, brainiacs, warriors, peacemakers, good, evil, futuristic advancements, and so much more. Whit is scared of Kali's plans to defeat the evil Arianna with her psychic powers. This is especially true when Arianna "flexes her muscle" at a community celebration and shakes up the women of Isis. While everyone is focused on Kali's training routine, no one seems to notice Danu's own training activities. At one point, everyone is in danger and only a few have the skills to win the battle with evil. Very well written. This book is light on physical loving, but is heavy on feelings and other expressions of love. It's impossible not to fall in love with the characters. I can't wait to read the final two books in the series -- they're on my shelf and calling my name. Do yourself a favor and meet the inhabitants of Isis.

Much better third book

The action picks up again in the third volume of the Isis series. The storylines revealed in Return to Isis are resolved and a lot of action is packed in this book. It's much stronger than the second book and reflects the first book more clearly. Kali emerges as the dominant force in confronting the evil Arinna, but Whit's personality becomes more complex and better developed. Some of the supporting characters are also better developed and play integral parts in the story. There is also some foreshadowing for the fourth book, so it will be interesting to see if that book continues as a strong development in the series or not. If you are a science fiction fan, you would find any of these books satisfying. They'll also appeal to you if you're into women's history, Celtic traditions or the beliefs of Wicca. It's interesting that several women's books have included the science of parthanogenesis, where women's eggs can be combined to create a child without sperm, since recent scientists say this will be completely possible with a variation of cloning. Talk about literature reflecting life.

Girls In Action

Well, to tell you the truth...After I started reading the book I couldn't put it down. The book has very vivid places as well as the many characters that feature the book. Explicit information concerning not only the women that have helped our country grow but also the many places where Whit and Kali take on in the many adventures that follow when they try to find the "key" on how to take on Arinna Sojourner, to avoid the distruction and complete inahilation of the human race but mostly Freeland...

Just reread the series!

It was a good as I remembered. The women are compelling and their struggle to hold on to what is theirs is highlighted by some really good writing. I had to get them out because I heard a rumor that a 4th book is finally going to be published. I'd forgotten how much I wanted to read more about Isis, so this was really good news.
