Five long and peaceful years have passed since the Winter War the people of the Outlands fought and won against the greedy nation of Hetar. But Gaius Prospero has not given up his scheme to become emperor, and after an unexpected and tragic blow the Fairy woman Lara is pulled towards her distant and elusive destiny once again.

Unexpectedly Lara finds herself in a distant land across the sea know as Terah where with her newfound powers she manages to banish an evil curse and earns the love and adoration of the ruler Magnus Hauk.

However even in this far away land Prospero threatens Lara and her new way of life. Together Lara, Magnus, and the people of Terah must stand together against the locust land of Hetar in order to continue to live in peace and prosperity.

Well, admittedly A Distant Tomorrow did keep my attention, probably better than its prequel Lara did in actuality. A Distant Tomorrow still had the same clichés that were present in Lara however: a heroine who can do no wrong, hastily written sex scenes, and situations that are glossed over and therefore fail to create any kind of suspense or drama.

I really have no idea why I keep coming back to works by Small. Shes really not all that gifted as a writer, especially a fantasy writer, but there is something oddly alluring about her style and the continuing story of Lara and her friends.

A Distant Tomorrow, and indeed the entire World of Hetar series is an easy and mindless read for those of us who can stomach (and more often than not enjoy) trashy romance novels. A Distant Tomorrow definitely fits this mold to a tee.

Though I found the actual reading tedious at times, I must admit Im looking forward to the next installment. Dont ask me whyI just am. Bottom line: Can I call A Distant Tomorrow and the associated books good? No. Entertaining and mindless? Absolutely. For this kind of theme Small has going it seems as if not having the label good attached to any of her books is not slowing down her writing or her sales for that matter.

This is the second book of the World of Hetar. I like Lara she is strong and willfull character. Lara ends up going to Terah and helps the Terahn men with an ancient curse. I do have to admit I kept reading and wondering what the heck was wrong with the men and in the end was satisfied with how the curse was solved. Good book and good imagination by Bertrice Small. I love the characters and tales she spins within the magic world. She's very imaginative and keeps you guessing.
