Ratha's Challenge

Rating:
Summary: Illustrious!
Review: I've never read any of the Named series, but I think I will after reading Ratha's Challenge. I really liked the characters, and it had this really nice little sprinkle of fantasy and sci-fi. I enjoyed the haunting aura that the book gave. It was psycological, which I love, but at times it got a little too indepth.

Summary: Illustrious!
Review: I've read all of the books in this series, and I think all of them are equally...superior! Clare Bell certainly has a knack for writing - these Ratha books all comprise of a wonderful mixture of all fiction genres!

In this series, Ratha is the clan leader of the Named, a clan of prehistoric cats closely related to the sabertooths. By bringing fire into the clan, she changes the way of the named, and causes some problems as well. All the books have excellently connected problems and incidents, and I think that these Ratha books are the best of its kind.

Rating:
Summary: A pretty good book
Review: This book is the fourth in the Named series and I think it's pretty good. My only complaint is that there isn't another sequel and this one kind of leaves you hanging. Do the two clans get along ? Do Thistle and her new mate become the leaders of the clans? I wish I knew. I would love it if there was a seaquel that gave the ansewers.

Summary: Not as good as Ratha and Thistle-Chaser
Review: This book was very good, as all the series is, but it just wasn't as good as the third book. I think Clare Bell tried to be just a little too psychological, bordering on mystical, and lost a few of her readers. Also, this seems to be half of a book. Why wasn't it longer, so we could find out how everything turns out?
