This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. I'll add a caveat here: I did enjoy this book in a (very!) superficial way while reading it, largely because the world building was actually not terrible and because I apparently felt the need to read something which would require shutting off my brain in its entirety. I do feel the need to be honest in my reviews however, so I can't in good conscience give this more than 1 star given how bad the bad points in this book were.

All in all however, this is a bad, BAD book. While a lot of the romance...more

I LOLed reading this book. Not because the author insists on calling penises manroots, or that there is cheaply depicted sex every eight pages. No, I giggled uncontrollably because the writing itself is so bad. Her phrasing, her dialogue, her word-choice, the hackneyed plot...it is all terrible. It's like the author ran the story through a Fantasy Novel Generator set to an 11 year old's writing ability and submitted it for publishing.

This is close to being the Manos, the Hands of Fate of fantasy...more

I was looking for a silly book, and I've read Skye O'Malley, so I really can't say I thought this was going to be a great read, but part of me still held out hope that this would be an entertaining diversion. No such luck. While this book had some moments of over-the-top fantasy adventure fun and some decent world-building, it was so unbelievably repetitive that I couldn't wait for it to end. I have read such books before, but this one took it to a whole new level - it was as though the author was being paid by the word and needed to milk the story line for every last syllable. It seemed like every time a new character was encountered (and this happened often) someone would have to catch them up on every. single. thing. that happened up to that point in the story, spelling it out in detail. Characters were also constantly reminding each other about facts that had already been established earlier in the book. Absolutely maddening.

I think the other reviews have covered this pretty well, but there was also a lot of rather boring sex in this book, not to mention the very un-sexy use of the word "manroot" for the male appendage. This wasn't just once - it was the *only* word used for penis, so it came up over and over again (so to speak). Ick. Lara as a character was pretty much what I expected - she's a lot like Skye O'Malley in that she is way more beautiful than all other women, good at everything, and so on. She also has the benefit in this case of being a fairy princess and having all kinds of magic, so really her biggest problem was being so insanely desirable that people can't help fighting over her favors. She does end up being a little bit of a badass, which could have been fun, but she was so ambivalent about everything and so focused on her mysterious *destiny* it was hard to take her seriously or care at all. The book ended on a very unresolved note (destiny still unreached), setting us up for future books, I guess, but not very satisfying.(less)

While I don’t devour bodice rippers at the rate I once did, I still enjoy a good historical romance from time to time, and while I haven’t read all of Small’s work, I have liked everything I’ve read. When I saw that she was trying her hand at a fantasy series, I decided I wanted in, and was well rewarded for it.

The story here is set in the land of Hetar, which is made up of four provinces and another area of unallied Outlands. The provinces are the Coastal Regions, the Midlands (home of the City), the Desert, and the Forest. Hetar lacks electricity and combustion engines, which gives it somewhat of an old world feel, but it abounds in magic and sensuality, making it a lot more fun than Elizabethan Earth. Lara, the star of the book, is a 15-year-old half-faerie girl living in a hovel in the City with her mercenary father, her stepmother Susannah, and her baby brother Mikhail. Lara’s faerie mother Ilona left them when Lara was only a few months old, and Lara has never met her. Her father has ambitions to become a Crusader Knight for Hetar, but he lacks the monies necessary to garb himself in fine clothes and obtain an attractive horse and weapons, so he has been unable to enter the contest to become one. His wife has a solution, however: sell Lara into slavery and use the money she will bring to purchase what he needs. As Lara is half faerie, she is devastatingly beautiful, and as she also sees this as the only workable solution to help the family, she readily agrees to her sale. Though she has never felt anything but human, her faerie nature seems to be coming alive as her life undergoes change, and she is oddly calm about the whole thing. Since Lara is so beautiful, it is assumed that she will be sold into one of the city’s Pleasure Houses, which is actually an attractive future in which she could one day obtain great wealth, as Hetarians praise sensuality and are not in the least prudish. Because she is too beautiful, however, that plan goes awry, and Lara’s real adventures begin. It’s hard to explain more of the story without giving all the goodies away, but suffice it to say that Lara winds up everywhere but the Coastal Province, and discovers not only how much of her nature really is faerie, but making a lot of powerful friends along the way who help her discover the magic she possesses and find her true destiny. She befriends a giant who wears magic boots, a Shadow Prince who introduces her to several faeries as well as numerous sensual delights, and the head of a clan of Outlanders before taking the first steps in fulfilling her destiny.

Lara is an extremely likeable character who is devoid of arrogance or fear, accepting her lowly position in the world and making the best of it. She is level-headed and tough, but has a soft heart and helps others weaker than she is. She makes friends both with lowly slaves and with people of power, and treats them with the same respect. The other characters in this book are also well drawn, from the crude and foolish Foresters to the urbane Shadow Princes. The sex scenes are numerous and hot, but not long and drawn out for page after page; in other words, well done and just right.

Bertrice Small is at her peak, using both the skills and knowledge that made her an outstanding historical romance writer, and her vivid imagination, creating a brand-new world full of interesting characters and laws. The two combine wonderfully for a page-turner of a fantasy romance. This book wins high marks, and I can’t wait to read the next in the series.

For most young women in the world of Hetar, this is a disaster that brings about nothing but fear and sorrow. For Lara however it is but the very beginning of her adventure.

Half human, half faerie, Lara is stunningly beautiful and willful as well. Her faerie protector guides her in finding her destiny which involves a series of great adventures and great lovers. Finally reaching the Outlands, Lara comes to realize her destiny is to aid the people she finds there in their war against her homeland Hatar. But when the battle comes will she be ready to face her fears?

Ok, I searched my mind long and hard to find a word that would describe "Lara." The only word I can come up with that would seem to fit would be: kitsch.

The plot of "Lara" is pretty simple, and it is very obvious that it is Small's first leap from romance novels into fantasy novels. The writing as I said before can only be described as kitsch. It is obvious that Small is a non confrontational person. Everything comes so easy to Lara. She's beautiful, so everyone wants to sleep with her. She has a natural skill with weapons, she super smart, she has magic to help her when her brains can't, the list goes on and on and the main character has no faults.

Not only was the fact that the main character has no faults sort of sickening, I also wanted to barf when all of the obstacles in Lara's way bowed down to her. She had to only fight in one battle at the very end where her side one a total victory slaying all of the adversary and only taking about 20 deaths on the "good" side, and none of them significant in the least to the plotline.

Small's writing style leaves something to be desired as well. Take a line from page 405 where she is describing a battle.
"...soon the battlefield ran red with blood, and it was difficult not to slip or fall..."
Huh? In the heat of battle when she could have swords clashing, men screaming, heroics going on all around she decides to say that it's hard to stand up? The dialogue between the characters is also rather on the pathetic side. It reminded me of "The Boxcar Children." Do you remember that book? You read it when you were maybe like 8 and the characters said: "Good!" to everything and didn't speak like normal people would? At times Small got almost Shakespearean on the reader and added in a lot of `nays' and `ayes' and `thous.' It was quite tedious at times.

Now that I'm done destroying this book, I do have to admit that despite this large laundry list of problems with the plot, characters, dialogue, etc...I actually kind of liked "Lara." Despite all its shortcomings "Lara" did keep me entertained. I'm not running out to get the sequel as the ending is in no way a cliffhanger, but I'll put it on my book swapping list and if I have a bunch of credits built up when it comes along I'd consider getting it and reading it.

I'm giving this book an exceptionally generous 3 stars. "Lara" is not going to win any awards anytime soon, but the theme can appeal to those who enjoy romance stories with a touch of fantasy, and is easy enough to read and get through quickly. A good starter book for those new to fantasy...just don't have super-high expectations going in. (less)

Why did I hate this book so much? One word sums it up: manroot. Possibly the worst euphemism that I have ever been unlucky enough to read. I swear the sex scenes are so unsexy, it almost ruined my actual sex life.

A little plot summary: Lara's father and stepmother sell her into slavery so he can buy nice clothes and armor so he can try out to be a knight. Lara is cool with this, because they are poor and she is the only thing of value that her dad has. Lara's mother is a fairy, who seduced her...more

I'll say this for this book- I never imagined it possible to use the word "manroot" so frequently. The first 200 pages or so were at least entertaining, in that "wow this is so bad I can't believe it got published" kind of way. And then it lost even the entertainment factor and just became awful.

But Lara is ok with this – because…well…because otherwise she would have to be a normal person and there might have to be emotions. Which would get in the way of the vast quantities of sex. So instead of pitching a hissy fit at being sold into sexual slavery in the interest of her father's ridiculous career, we spend 60-75 pages SEWING! Yes, sewing for Lara’s father because Lara is the best seamstress EVER. And she must make him a lavish outfit – with the money he got from her sale – because in Hetar if you want to move up in the world, you have to look the part (otherwise you’d be far too uncivilized!) in order to advance. So this dutiful daughter makes him the most wonderful outfit ever seen on a Crusader Knight because even if he did decide that she should spend the rest of her life in a brothel, he's still Dear Old Dad, and she wants what is best for him. I, for one, was unimpressed by this display of filial devotion.

Anyway, after we spend WAY too much time on sewing before actually getting around to anything resembling a plot, it suddenly shows up (the plot, that is). Lara is to be sold as a “Pleasure Woman” – theoretically universally respected - in reality, not so much. But here we begin to learn yet more of her specialness: In addition to being a wonderful seamstress, Lara is part Faerie and so amazingly gorgeous that she causes dissension amongst the brothels - dissension to the point where the madames all agree they will pay vast quantities of money to send her elsewhere lest she be bad for business. All because of her uncanny beauty. So we have accomplished needlewoman and beauty beyond compare as Lara's womanly talents...what could we possibly need?

I'm glad you asked (well, I didn't either, you're just stuck with this) Lara then learns to be an amazing perfect swordswoman in a matter of weeks, has innate wisdom and diplomatic skill, she shape-shifts, she has faerie magic birth control... Really she’s good at everything except not being a snot. And that grows tiresome very, VERY quickly. Especially since she has absolutely no personality to speak of.

When Lara is sent away from her hometown, she begins travelling Hetar – in each province she encounters utterly stereotypical one-dimensional characters (brutal Forest Lords, elegant Shadow Princes in the Desert, Beautiful Faeries) who all seem to want nothing more than to get into her pants (or skirts). And there lies the big problem – after being raped by the Forest Lords (Because it is her destiny of course, and she can learn from this experience), she not only does not have any problems with sex, but is completely eager for it.

And the sex is TERRIBLE – and with euphemisms like ‘seed sac’, ‘man-root’, ‘hidden garden’, ‘love sheath’, what do you expect? There was even something about her 'morass'...does anyone find the idea of slime and muck appealing? Sexy? I thought not. The sex is shallow, no relationships to speak of and no details to make things interesting, aside from those given about where various man-roots are being plunged. Plus, Lara has the Vagina of Infinite Pleasure – literally. Apparently all faeries provide amazing amounts of pleasure when “impaled by a throbbing man-root”. Which is really just gross. How much specialness can we really take in one heroine? Especially that kind of special?

But it was (unintentionally) hysterical – much MUCH too long at 538 pages. But Hysterical. This was seriously the book that gives romance novels a bad name as poorly written, repetitive, smut with no plot and no style to speak of. It is most unfortunate. What is even more unfortunate is that this is part of a series. There actually is a plot near the last 100 pages or so, and it promises to be an interesting one. But by that point we’re already at 450 pages, so all of the actual plot was squeezed out in the interest of including more bad sex – with man-roots. Lots of man-roots. As in “you have taught me how much pleasure can exist between a man and a woman – let’s have an ORGY!”. Did I mention the Vagina of Infinite Pleasure? And that there’s 540 PAGES of MAN-ROOTS? Because I really think that about sums up the horror of Bertrice Small.(less)

well from the description and cover, i was ezpecting more from this book. While the basic storyline was well thought out, and the description on the lands good, i was left not so happy. The character, Lara, is the protagonist, however her emotions are not described well. They are briefly brushed over rather than expressive, and the book is to quick in the sense that because of its lack of detail in certain things, it brushes through months at a time in extreme ease.

I was shocked at how good this series turned out to be. It has many creative mystical beings. It is an adult read containing graphic sexual situations. Lara's story is unexpected. Some of her challenges were difficult to read but Ms. Small built new layers to Lara's personality and gave her an inner strength to cope and grow. Excellently written.
