Loved this book, it was full of imagination. Liked the characters and how they interacted with each other. The heroine was a thief with a strong determined will. The book kept me enthralled till the end and Ms. Green leaves us hanging. We need a sequel for this. also recomend The Challenge by Susan Kearney
Fascinating

I had read Sharon Green's books for years, all of the Warrior series, the Jalav series, and others, but this one is by far my favorite. Something about these characters reached out and grabbed me.. Possibly the fact that Inky can be pushed so far and no farther , and then she takes a stand and says "no" loud and clear ( having done the same thing myself). I felt satisfied that she was going off to jail at the end of the book, because she just couldn't have done anything else and been Inky. However, I've been patiently waiting for the sequel for years now. I'm certain someone will come up with something to get her out of jail and back to the point where she can kick her thickheaded love into using the brain he had seemed to have until the last two chapters. If the sequel is out there, someone let me know!
Would have loved it for not the horrible ending!

Like I said, it was great. I liked Inky, except for the way she became 'dependent' on Sarendon at the end. Sarendon, well him I didn't like but their partners Lydra and Chal I did, despite the fact they weren't as strong as I would have liked them to be. Sharon Green says this is supposed to be part of a trilogy, so that does explain the abrupt ending but it still is frustrating. The other thing that frustrates me, (on the whole it's a Sharon Green problem,) is that while the focus was originally supposed to be accomplishing the mission, by the time that's done the focus is on the romance. I found that was a problem for me in 'Silken Dreams' too but maybe that's just me.
The best she's ever written, bar none.

I've been a fan of Sharon Green's writing for about 15 years, and this is my absolute favorite of all she has done. The lead female is a high-tech thief, the lead male is an arena fighter. With friends, they end up investigating the disapearances and deaths of people who visit a certain pleasure plannet... I think the interplay of characters in this one is wonderful, and I reccomend that if you possibly can get ahold of a copy of this book, read it and enjoy!
