Summary: The Seer and The Sword A Review
Comment: I loved this book!!! It was one of those few books that could hold my attention for more than 50-100 pages. As I read this book I felt like I was part of it. I admired the characters as if they were real people [for example I admired Princess Torina for her quick logic, strength, kindness, and the she didn't get a bloated head from being a princess] and felt for them in there time of need, for the villains I shared the characters loathing for them, for the hero and heroine thought out this book we became friends. I read and read and read barley aware that I was turning pages until I got to the end it was if this story was coming from my soul and not from typed pages. I recommend this book to anyone that will listen and guarantee that if you are like me searching for a good book that your search is over. The time flew by as I was engrossed in this wonderful book. When I was done I checked the clock and it was nearly 2:00 and the whole time I read I hardly felt any kind of sleepiness.
The plot was exciting just when you thought you knew what was going to know what would happen next Victoria Hanley would surprise you with a new twist. Belladrana the quiet artistic kingdom is being invaded by Princess Torina's country, Landen the prince of Belladrana has no idea what will happen if his country is defeated.

Summary: this book rocks
Comment: Okay this is one of the best books I've ever read and I've read a lot of books.
First of all don't pay any attention to the editorial review it's wrong.
It all starts when Torina is eight. her father, King Kareed, goes to the peaceful country Bellandra and kills the king, takes the legendary Sword of Bellandra, and enslaves the king's only son, Landen.
Hwen he gets back, Kareed gives Torina Landen, but Torina lets him go so he goes to the barraks to learn to be a soldier. Kareed also gives Torina a magic crystal with which she can see the past, present, and future. She uses it to save Landen's life, and in return Landen teaches ehr archery.
When Torina is fifteen she gets engaged to Vesputo, the king's right-hand man. But what Torina doesm't relize is that Vesputo is only marrying her so he can be king. When Landen sheds light on the matter she doesn't believe him until she sees Vesputo kill her father in her crystal.She tries to intervene but Vesputo kills him anyway, and tries to blame Landen. Vesputo takes Torina prisoner, Landen flees for his life, and what follows is an amazing stroy by an exceptionally good author. Will Landen and Torins live? Will Vesputo stay king? If you want to find out, i urge you to read this book.

Summary: Too Many Kings, Too Many Kingdoms
Comment: This is basically a good book,and I would definitely look for more by this author. But the story wanders around way too much. First it's about two children at the palace. Okay. A boy and girl who love each other, only she's a princess and he's a slave. Okay. There are some great chapters about the boy being picked on at school. Then suddenly that's over and the girl is a sexy teenager and in love with the villain Vesputo. Then it's all about her mother the queen getting hooked on drugs. Then it's all about the girl, only she's a farmer living in another kingdom? Then there's this good high king who wants to save the world, only now the slave boy is a secret spy leading a jolly band of Ali Baba type thieves? Too many kings, too many kingdoms, too little romance, and the story just wanders off.
They should have stayed in the first kingdom, fighting the evil King Vesputo. But Vesputo was also a very lame character. He was supposed to be evil but I kept cracking up at how he acted. Always frowning and shoving people around. He reminded me of "Bluto" in the old POPEYE cartoons, so bad you just laugh at him. He also reminded of "Bluto" Blutarsky in the movie ANIMAL HOUSE -- the guy John Belushi played. I kept seeing evil King Vesputo as Belushi, wearing a black sweatshirt with the word "VILLAIN" written on it in big white medieval letters. And I kept seeing him talking to the slave boy like Belushi, saying, "your father is dead and your magic sword has been stolen. I suggest you begin drinking heavily!"
