Loved it. What a great end to a great series.

I really like the way this story is told. I was caught up in a story that was already familiar to me and I could not put it down until it was finished.

Carol Berg has become one of my favorite authors, and this book is one of the reasons. I really love her characters, they really come to life for me. This is the fourth book in the D'Arnath series. It was captivating and I hardly put it down until I was done.

Finally got this after two tries and my kids just did not like it as much as the other David books.

I liked this book up until the end where, for me, it just...ended. I wanted more and there was no more. I don't know if there is another book that compliments this one, but feel there almost should be. If there was (is) I would definately read it.

From the back cover - "The beautiful old mansion on Long Island's South Shore seemed the perfect home for the Van Burens and their three young children. What happened to them inside that house is an experience you'll pray couldn't happen to you."
Not that bad, as ghost stories go. I enjoyed reading it and, being only 214 pages, was able to do so in one night's time. A little bit of scary and a little bit of sensuality. Not the scariest I've ever read, but still a good story. I will have to say, though, that I have only really been "scared" by two horror books I've ever read and I've read a great many. So for those that are more easily freaked out by ghost stories, this might be a good read..

Another great read! I really liked the characters (new and old)and liked the little twists and turns. I found the change of character perspective a little awkward, but it did not detract from the story or my enjoyment. I am eagerly anticipating the third book.

Another great book, just as The Child Queen was, IMHO. I hope the Grail Prince is as intriguing a read as these two wonderful books.

I actually really liked this book. It is definitely not what you think of when you think of OSC. However, after the first few chapters, I could hardly put it down. It helped, I think, that although I am not a member of the church, I know quite a bit about it since my best friend is Mormon (as is Card). There were places in this book that I thought felt very Stephen Kingish, but that only added to my enjoyment of the book since I am a huge SK & OSC fan.
Although, IMHO, it felt like a few loose ends were not tied up (leaves you wondering what ever happened to such and such character), I liked the ending. It was very sad, but good.

really liked this magical, elemental twist on the old Cinderella story.

I tried, I really did. But I just couldn't get into this book.
