Entertaining Lesbian Fantasy

I found this book very entertaining. The characters were well described and very likable even down to the minor ones. Also, the way the author built up the sexual tension around Cydell and Elayna was breathtaking. In this novel, both men and women can make their partners pregnant. This is a theme I personally have no problems with. However, I thought that since she went to the trouble of telling us that this was possible, I would have liked a bit more information. Eg. How do the women make each other pregnant? & perhaps even could men also become pregnant? If Jacqui Singleton had elaborated a little more on that topic this book for me would have gone from a very good read to an Excellent one. None-the-less, if you're a lesbian who loves fantasy books with magic spells, dragons and sabers than this book is well worth the read.

Excellent book

If you like fantasy novels and you're a lesbian, this is the book for you. The story and the characters are well developed. You wish the book was longer so that you could know them better. And this is a world where women can get other women pregnant. Interesting concept. It was interesting to read a story set in a world where women and men were truly equal and all sexual preferences were accepted. Of course, it has to be fantasy. Unfortunately, there is no sequel to this book yet, but readers can always hope.

Sword & Sorcery for Lesbians

Heartstone & Saber is traditional sword & sorcery fare, right down to the language and plot. What's not traditional is that it's obviously written for lesbians to enjoy. I do like finding lesbians in S & S mainstream books like those by Mercedes Lackey, but it's also wonderful to have a book written especially for me. I didn't even know that books like this were being written. It was a wonderful discovery. Heartstone & Saber is exactly what it seems to be, and anyone who enjoys the genre will like it.
