Great

A lovely read. Part of an amazing trilogy. The book can also be consider a "thriller" because it keeps you on the edge of your seat. Basically once you pick it up you won't be able to put it done until it has been completely read. ***Please note that this book is the SECOND in a series of three. So read them all because it's ONE story told in three books.

Interesting

Each and every book I read broadens my horizons and my knowledge base. No book is too good or too bad to read. This is a sci-fi type of look at Forrest's work. I enjoyed it along with the other ones.

An Extraordinary Finale

I've been a fan of Katherine Forrest's writing since I first read Amateur City in the mid 1980s. No fan of science fiction, I read Daughters of a Coral Dawn (the beginning of what would become a trilogy that included Emerald Dusk) only because of my respect for her writing. I did not expect it to become one of my favorite novels, but it did. Daughters of an Emerald Dusk is more than merely a worthy follower to that extraordinary book, and its superb successor, Daughters of an Amber Noon. It is a book in which Forrest's writing moves to a new level of skill and craft and artistry. I found myself rereading passages just for the pleasure of her prose. Forrest's characters are always a vital part of what makes all of her writing splendid, but seeing these characters, many of whom we know from the previous books, face the challenges that do with wit and honor and bravery is an extraordinary experience. I won't say anything about the plot except that it took me to places I would never have imagined without once betraying the reader with cheap tricks and flashy games. Daughters of an Emerald Dusk may just be Katherine Forrest's best novel to date, and that is saying something.
