Prophecy of Darkness: A Novel (Xena - Warrior Princess , No 4)

Rating:
Summary: It was ok...
Review: Better than Ru Emerson's books. This book makes you feel that Xena and Gabby are friends and that Xena is developing as a character (with emotions towards other people), not just a paper-cut-out of a warrior.

Rating:
Summary: Great characterization of Xena
Review: I enjoyed this book. Plot and action were good, as was the relationship depicted between Xena and Gabrielle. I especially enjoyed the explanations hinted at for Xena's success as a warrior. I felt as though I gained some interesting insights into what makes Xena 'tick'.

Summary: Pretty good
Review: I read this book several years ago while the plot of the television series was still young, season 2 or 3. The book is consistant with that timeline, which has been screwed up, spun around, and dumped upside-down since then. Around the same time I also read the Ru Emmerson books, and I do like this book much better than those as they are not consistant to the Xena timeline/plot and cannot stand alone-you would have to read the first and then the second and so on to understand everything that's going on. This is a stand-on-its-own kind of book and has a Xena-like plot to it. One problem that seems consistant to me in the published Xena novels is lack of emotion. This book held more emotion than the Ru Emmerson books.
If you want a good, stand on its own Xena adventure, this is the book for you. If you want a Xena adventure the provokes serious emotions and feelings, as the show itself often did, you may want to consider online fan fiction.

Review: The writter knew next to nothing about Xena. In the book she showed tonns of emoition. He also spelled a coulple things wrong. He wrote Argos instead of Argo. He also spelled charkum chakra. I think if he wants to write another book he should learn more about Xena: Warrior Princess.

Summary: Doesn't capture Xena Gabrielle characters
Review: This book did a poor job of conveying the essences of Xena's and Gabrielles characters-especially compared with the Ru Emerson books. In this book Gabrielle does too much simpering and is too much a little girl-no thought is given to what makes Gabrielle and Xena a team. And the sexual tension between them is totally absent-this book seems more geared towards the young male audience than both the tv show and the Ru Emerson books-which I highly recommend-especially if you didn't like this one.

Summary: Enjoyed it though I didn't feel the entire Xena excitement.
Review: This book is better than Xena.... Magic Arrow of Myx. I got the Xena feeling. I couldn't put it down. I was even doing house chores and reading it at the same time. "Prophecy of Darkness" was a very good book. Even this has a down side. I didn't quite get the ENTIRE Xena feeling and aura. But I would suggest it for all die hard and not so die hard Xenites alike.
