Title:If I Pay Thee Not In Gold Author: Pierce Anthony and Mercedes Lackey Format: Mass Market |
At times, I have found both authors to be a bit trying. Both have long-winded, often repeating series and very few new ideas. Yet, somehow, when both Anthony and Lackey got in the same room, magic happened. A somewhat new idea for the both of them came forth, a world where women rule and men are slaves, where women have magic and all of the power and money. From all of this comes our little heroine, Xylina, and while she is female, she is an outcast of her society. Most believed that she and her line is cursed; she believes that she has very little magical talent and will not make it past her coming of age combat. I found that the book had a much different tone then either of the writers normally have. If you are a fan of either author I would suggest owning this book. I would also suggest this novel to anyone who has read only one author or the other and would like a introduction to the other.
