Query: The prelude to genius

While Sara Douglass' first book in this trilogy could seem a little familiar to jaded fantasy readers, the second is absolutely magnificant! The stage is set in this novel, which is enjoyable enough, but the second book is enough to sweep you off your feet! The second trilogy is completely original -- a magnificant feast for the mind and imagination. These six books together will be read over and over again -- mine are falling apart, by now, as I rediscover and examine again all that I keep on missing the first time. If you have a friend in Australia, I recommend getting them shipped over. It's worth it. These books are heavier than Eddings, so really can't be compared -- they're in the same genre, but that's about all they have in common -- and the second half is especially thought provoking.
