I liked Moonheart, but I would vote for Onion Girl too.

fabulous! continuity is often a concern in fantasy - I always appreciate authors (like Terry Pratchett, for instance) that manage to create universes that allow us to enter at any point!

hmm that's a tough call for me. The Onion Girl is my favorite novel of his. I liked Moonheart too. I got hooked by his short stories and then ended up reading anything of his I could get my hands on. Some craziness like 9 books of his books in a year. So it might not matter where one starts:)

I haven't read any deLint - yet.......a quick review of his bio suggests that Moonheart might be a good place to start - would you agree? The idea of combining/creating parallels between Celtic and Native American myth is an intriguing addition to the mix..... Pastwatch is indeed Orson Scott Card, though quite different from his Ender's novels - in a very good way! The full title is Pastwatch: the Redemption of Christopher Columbus. I could go on for days about the incredibly interesting idea of inserting agents from the future into key points of the past - in order to make changes for the greater good. The very idea of determining what those points would be is mind boggling to me......

Me too! I loved Timeline! I'll have to put Pastwatch on the my list. I just started reading Lies my teacher told me, and then I think it's Loving Frank. Is it by Orson Scott Card? I really enjoyed the Ender's Series. I might have bump Frank :) Have you read any Charles deLint?

alternate realities aka multiverse novels are my fave genre.....Pastwatch (Card) and Timeline (Chrichton) are also lovely cultural commentaries.... I will have to try to find this one! (and I could not care less what Canela thinks about anything....I've decided any post by her will be treated as non sequitur - I expect it will free up a lot of time spent reading far more interesting posts)

What's funny about your post Canela is that you you have absolutely no idea how much of an ASS you just made of yourself by commenting on a book you haven't read.

Canela says you are all stupid for liking this book.

It's an alternate realty kind of story. The author created a very intriciate very compelling society, culture, religion, and plot in this book. I loaned this book out until it never came home :)

I've read the book. I really enjoyed the mysticism and how the wraethu were the perfect blend of the esscence of man and woman. Very good read!

The correct title of the book you are talking about is Wraeththu. From the review on amazon it sounds like the gothic answer to a Harlequin book series bodice ripper. http://www.amazon.com/Wraiths-Will-Pleasure-Wraeththu-Histories/dp/0765303493/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1245655161&sr=8-2 Happy reading, Christina

by Storm Constantine. Has anyone else read this book?
