Rating:  Summary: "Give me Arianrood and I will let the rest of you live." Review: When I first discovered the first Morigu book, a circle of friends that did alot of roleplaying asked me to read it. I wasn't allowed to talk about it until I was finished and when we met again I was to name my favorite character. Well, I think I named five, lol. I have read close to 600 fantasy novels since then and have yet to be sucked in like I was by page 13 of this book. So well orchestrated are the players, both good and evil, that it feels like a symphony masterpiece. Reading the second book was much the same, not knowing what would happen to your current favorite character, (They don't seem to last long!) Since then I have bargained with many a friend and co-worker to trade with me their favorite book while I let them read the Morigu. All but once have I won the gamble and over half of those people have their own copies. You have many tragic characters, all of which are very believable. All of which evil tries to break their spirit time and again. I had been impressed by the intensity of the story at least a dozen times, weaving all the characters into a wonderful tale. But, after reading what happened to all the women in the second novel, I was convinced there wasn't a finer fantasy novel in existence. The outline and planning of evil is unlike none I have ever read. Thank you Mr. Perry for your gift to literature. I am glad you are alive and well. (My role-playing group was worried.) Though it pains me, I understand if you never finish the third novel. I know it would be Mearead's book, but what an incredible task you have on that one. The quote above is one of my favorites, and when you read it in its context, I'm am certain it will be one of yours as well.
Rating:  Summary: Devastated but hopeful Review: When I was 16 I read the first book in the Morigu series. I was captivated. This book had the breadth of imagination that rivaled Tolkien, I could not wait to read the rest of the series. Mark Perry had taken all the stops out and written a book that was rich and unique. It was several years before I found the second book in a used book store. I remember how my heart leaped when I saw it. I bought the book and rushed home. 2 hours later I was finished reading the book and once again I was on cloud nine, I could not wait for the next book. I was devasted when I heard through a friend that there were only two books and no more had been published. It was wonderful to hear that Mark Leahy(Perry) is still with us and it is my fondest hope that he finds a publisher to re release the first two books(with some better covers) and that he continues the series. I have been waiting for years to learn the story behind Fealoth's betrayal.
Rating:  Summary: still waiting after all these years..... Review: where does one go from here....the poor mad morigu taken prisoner and never a thought to all of us who have waited to find out if the beast will rule. after i read both books, i have to agree that they are among the best storylines ever written. i suppose the anticipation of waiting forever to read what happens will keep me wanting MCP to show up and alleviate it. who knows if he(MCP) is alive or dead, but only in my mind can i keep thinking that the morigu will survive, mearead get the dragon, and most of all donal his revenge on the ead.
Rating:  Summary: Morigu: The Desecration Review: WOOHOO! Glad to see the rumors of Mark's demise were wrong. The Morigu series is by far my favorite books of all time. The characters are well developed and the storyline extremely well written. What has me utterly enthralled with the story is not knowing who will die next, not to mention who will win in the end. Just when the good guys find new allies, the villains seem to be one step ahead and keep knocking them (the good guys) down. I read The Desecration in two days and couldn't wait to read the next one, which by the way came out a few years later. When Morigu: The Dead came out, I read that in a day and a half, just couldn't put it down. I've reread them both now four times waiting for the next one, so PLEASE will some publisher help Mark out so my restless soul may find peace.
