Summary: Round 2
Comment: Chances are, if you are reading this review than you have already read Blood and pearls. Jaguti and Lilitu continues the furiously intense action and sex which made the first book so great. New characters are introduced and old familiar characters are further developed. This story while full of conflict on its own sets the stage for larger things to come. The book is also full of new illistrations which alone are worth the price of the book. If you read the fist book I'm sure you will read Jaguti and Lilitu no matter what the review says. But if you have yet to read Blood and Pearls do so and get ready for a fun ride.

Summary: Evil Is as Evil Does?
Comment: As I turned the final page of "Jagutai and Lilitu" by Mark E. Rogers, I had to sit for a while to sort out my reactions. As always with Mr. Roger's novels, the writing is outstanding. His images are colorful and compelling; the narrative witty and imaginative. I guarantee there's not a dull moment in the book. My chief reaction, however, is delighted astonishment. Mr. Rogers writes about the nature of evil. The novel moves forward through scenes of violence, bloodshed, and decadence - mitigated, of course, by an ever-present sense of humor. But who would have thought that through this crucible of darkness and death, that tenderness, compassion, love, and redemption could emerge? Or that the most effective force in a story about sorcery, swordplay, and political intrigue would be friendship?
I greatly enjoyed this intelligent and entertaining sequel to Zancharthus. It is a rare experience to read a novel that engages on so many levels. The tongue-in-cheek humor and broadly drawn characters evoke questions about good and evil, vengeance and forgiveness, and the nature of love. Do we become good because we make a conscious decision to do so? Because it makes sense? Does faith compel us to right actions, or do right actions lead us to faith?
Get yourself a copy of this book. The ready humor and spectacle of the tale are like a sumptuous array of hors d'oeuvres at an elegant dinner, while the underlying themes provide a full course meal, from soup to the after-dinner brandy that calls for a moment of quiet reflection. Do not miss this feast of a book!

Summary: The Rocket into the pit of hell continues where book 1 ended
Comment: If you have made it to this book then hopefully you have read Blood & Pearls which is the book before this one. This book continues right where that one left off. Our characters are all embroiled in the steaming cesspool that is Khymir. Mark E. Rogers portrays and evil society better than anyone I have ever read. His evil society and the people in it and the depraved things they do make the evil people in contemporary fantasy look tame in comparison. Mr. Rogers will shock you with his style of Dark Fantasy which melds Fantasy, Horror, and Erotica all into a hot and steaming series of books. This book is fantastic and will be difficult to put down without reading it from cover to cover in a single sitting.
So, if you have read Blood & Pearls then you definately want to read this. The story is not finished. You still MUST read the rest of the story. The evil of Khymir still has mysteries which you have yet to have heard.
This book as with the others is intended for mature audiences only. I would rate it an NC-17 rating in terms of who should read it. Aside from that word of caution it is a great read!
