   I should have given it a 1.5 stars instead of 1, but Amazon doesn’t allow half stars. Anyhow, I just bought this DVD (in the original theatrical release version) based on some fairly positive reviews. I must say I got burned. Major issues: bad screen play and the movie is padded (you could cut the running time in half without losing anything).

   I am guess that the guy who wrote the screen play learned about NYC gangs by watching West Side Story. He then added in some dialogue borrowed from some hippie films. Right there, you know this is going to be cheesy. Sadly, it was not cheesy good, it was cheesy bad.

   The reason it was cheesy bad is because 1/2 of the film is footage of a bunch of Fame extras walking around NYC. So while I appreciate the “so bad it’s good” thing, any humor provided by the goofy dialogue was lost in the ensuing walking scenes.

   In the plus column: zombie baseball players, black hockey stick wielding ninjas, & sinister use of 3 empty pop bottles.

   I have to say, I am so glad that I read this book. I can’t take books where you can figure things out. Or where an author decides that creating a new world doesnt require a lot of detail, or that they shouldn’t even bother creating new language and words. But Marie Brennan does. She may not create a new landscape, but the world is amazing. It’s not about vampires and witches or werewolves. It’s about the Hunters and Witches. There are ranks and different aspects of being a witch. I was very intrigued by the book, and completely engrossed. it’s not your typical story of a poor girl coming of age and finding she’s the answer to the end of times. But regular girls, well not regular per se, but girls who figure things out that could change. Not that the world is about to end.
   It’s a nice spin on the Goddess aspect, and I really recommend it to everyone.
   sorry to be vague, I don’t want to spoil it for anyone.

   The perfect novel for me. I love the two women: the witch and the warrior.
   The thing I love the most was the division of the witches according to the different aspects of the goddesses.

   Also love the covers and I love that this one is called Warrior and the next one Witch.
   Does anyone notice in the one called the Warrior she have a witch staff
   but in the one called the Witch she have a warrior sword.
   I love the coexisting… yang and yin.

   I usually give 3 stars to a book that has promise but is flawed.

   I bought this book after reading Midnight Never Come– an intriguing fantasy set in Elizabethan England that I rated very highly. Warrior though is a double quest novel with more than one Big Reveal. The story is told in alternating viewpoints. The two viewpoint characters are individually interesting at times. At other times I wanted to an icepick in my head to stop the throbbing as the author dragged on and on with more information about the culture than I needed at the time. Miryo’s stay at the Keep was pretty painful. In addition, the author included fashion comments and way more information about the entertainment than I wanted to know. Some nuggets of important information are buried in the exposition, but too few nuggets to too much exposition.

   The first Big Reveal comes about half way in and if you didn’t see it coming you weren’t paying attention. The story picks up after that but it still drags a bit on the inevitable and not surprising conclusion.

   This seems to be half a book, my guess is that about half of this book could have been cut out and the remainder added to Witch to make one book and it would improve the situation.

   But no matter what, do not give up on this author. I think she has some very good books ahead as she continues her historical fantasy series that begins with Midnight Never Come.

   So I have been looking for a new original sci-fi story to read for some time now. I was skeptical when I first picked up this book, but after a couple chapters I was hooked. Brennan really masters the art of explaining the little things while still developing the big picture. She explains how the world works without focusing entire chapters on minor details so there are never points in the story where you are left wondering how something was done, or what something means. This book is very enthralling so be prepared to be hooked and you might as well order the next one.

    The book started off a little slow for me, but once it got going, whoa! It was very visual that I could actually see the movie that would be made from this (hint, hint). Anyway, a really good read and don’t forget to get the sequel, Witch.

    I enjoyed reading this book and intend to purchase other books of this type especially about land and naval warfare.
