Healing of Crossroads

I enjoyed this book, although not quite as much as the other two in the series. I think that the author did leave an opening in this book that would allow him to write another. I hope he does write another for the series. This is a series which is best read in order since it is slightly difficult to follow some of the plot lines and people if you do not. This book is sadder than The Magic and the Healing but, not as sad as Under the Healing Sign. Even with the slower pace I read this book in one sitting. I wanted to know what happened to BJ and the rest. Read it you will love it, but read the first two first and you will love it more!

Good, though not as good as the first two Crossroads books

O'Donohoe continues to develop the Crossroads setting in this third installment of the series. He continually adds new characters, which keeps things from getting dull or repetitious, and allows the older characters to develop well, but things get rather cluttered in this book. As a result, numerous personalities are shortchanged and given few lines or deeds. The combination of real world situations, myth and pure imagination remains solid. Recommended, though not as much as the first two books.

Try his books if you haven't yet!

I really enjoyed this book. Probably not as much as the first book in the series, though. This one, however, had some interesting twists to it. If you are looking for a new fantasy series to read, I definitely recommend this series, but start with "The magic and the healing". Then read the next two books (this is the third). I can't wait for Nick to write another book in the series - Are you listening, Nick? Maybe tell the story of one of the minor characters in one of the earlier books or something like that.
