Every Friday
Hello again. I'm still having Internet access problems, but things should be cleared up by next week (crossing fingers).
I've got a review from the first of a great series by Nene Adams, a wonderful classic X/G stories from the early days of fanfic, and a
nice short story from Season 6. A little more variety than what I had
last week :)
Questions,
comments? You can email me at: ceesreviews@yahoo.com
Azuyama - The Eastern House by Nene Adams
Novella - O/U
Azuyama is the first book in a wonderful series of books that are set
in a fantasy world that evokes ancient Asian feudal systems. Ayumi is
a female Samarai-style warrior who is sworn to serve her master - at
any cost. The young aristocrat Lady Fujiwara hires her. In a world
with rigid societal rules, tedious ritual and intricate courtly
politics, the naive Fujiwara's infatuation with her warrior threatens
both their ways of life. There is a sly humor in the writing, and
Nene Adams gives us richly drawn characters, along with an incredibly
detailed depiction of this society she has created. You'll be caught
up in this Asian feudal world and won't want to leave it. This entire
series gets my highest recommendation.
Just Be Ready> by IseQween
Very Short Story – X/G
This long vignette by IseQween is set during the 6th Season episode
Who's Ghurkan? After Xena is beaten and returned to the harem room,
she and Gabrielle express their feelings over the situation they find
themselves in. They also recognize the changes in their relationship,
and they ultimately redeem their faith in each other and in their
love. An emotional piece that is definitely recommended.
The Third Wheel by JenBob
Novel – X/G
A novel from the early days of fanfic, this great classic by Jenbob
is a must read. Set in the first years of the series, this story
reads like a well-done episode. Xena and Gabrielle help a village
that is under attack, and Xena meets up with an old friend. They set
about going after the warlord and his men, but things get a bit
strained when Gabrielle begns to feel like a third wheel. This story
has it all: an interesting plot, great action scenes, layered
characters, and best of all - a wonderful depiction of that jealous,
uncertain Gabrielle we knew and loved from the early days. Gets my
highest recommendation.
