Customer Reviews

Mystery/Adventure/Fantasy - even a little Romance.

This is a brilliant series of books - Louise Cooper does an awesome job at giving each book a unique and captivating plot. Very few authors could do for a trilogy, what she successfully did here with no less than eight books... Of all of them, this book is my favorite, combining all the best elements of the series, as listed above.

I loved it

This is one of my favorite of the Indigo books.Cooper always does a wonderful job on characters and plots,and all the books in this saga.I love Grimya very much,and even though Indigo insists that she isn't worthy of such friendship,I think she is,despite her...antics.Indigo is a strong-hearted woman,and is not quite as foolish (I believe) as the books make her seem.I enjoyed Troika's plot very much.I was nearly horrified at first,when I found out where she was staying,and about the man that looked so much like Fenran.I just couldn't help feeling a bit sorry for her,despite the obvious fact.This is a must-read book in a must-read series!

The best in a series of "must read" books.

I have followed this series since it first came out in the early 90's. I anxiously awaited each book and immediately purchased them when they arrived at the bookstore. Since the last book "Aisling" was published, I have reread this series several times. Louise Cooper has such a genuine talent at writing characters that you find endearing, not only the two main players Indigo and Grimya, but also characters in every book.Troika is my personal favorite,because of it's direction of a love interest for Indigo. (She needed a break,she has a huge responsibility hanging over her head!)I highly recommend this series for all SF/Fantasy readers. You won't be disappointed!!!

A Great book to read for Indigo Series Fans

I first picked up this novel, not expecting that it was book #5 in a series of seven full novels. I enjoyed Indigo and Grimya (the faithful, loyal she-wolf companion) as characters as they struggle through the frozen south in search for the demon she must vanquish. It was heartwarming in the sense that Indigo wanted to be loved again, and Grimya's friendship is on the line. I like Grimya very much. She is a loyal wolf who cherishes Indigo as her friend. I only wish there were more of the other books in the Indigo series so that I may collect them all.

The most poignant of the Indigo series

When I read "Troika", I was mildly surprised. I didn't think that Indigo could feel so deeply for someone who wasn't Fenran, her betrothed condemned to limbo. Actually, I never thought much about Fenran, period, since the crux of the "Indigo" books is focused on vanquishing demons, not languishing over lost loves. The tone of this novel is in keeping with the rest of the series; however, there is an element of romance not present in the other books. I enjoyed this book greatly; it was engrossing, and complex enough to keep me wondering who-was-guilty-of-what until the end. I highly recommend it
