There is nothing more tragic than legitimate ambition comprehensively thwarted. Kate Elliott's fantasy sequence has a bleak sadness even in its moments of triumph, simply because her heroes and heroines seem as if they are never going to get the chance to be all they could be. Alan, suddenly adopted heir to the local noble, is obliged to marry an anorexic princess whose hobby of heresy extends to fake stigmata; royal courier Liath and more than slightly deranged royal bastard Sanglant find that their love stands in the way of the King's dynastic plans; the prattish monk Ivar runs away from heresy proceedings and hides among a princeling's boon companions and catamites. And while the nobility juggle marriages and churchmen bicker about doctrine, invaders amass on the borders and the world seems booked for cataclysms both political and metaphysical. Elliott has not yet become as popular as she probably deserves--she has a real sense of what even an imaginary medieval world should be like in its pompous scholarship and simple piety, and her characters are interestingly fluid; place Ivar in a cavalry charge, and he does quite well. This third volume sustains the pace and grim tone of its predecessors in the Crown of Stars sequence. --Roz Kaveney, Amazon.co.uk

fantasy lover.......2007-05-13
This book was great! It took me only 2 days to read through it.I was captured by the story line and overwhelmed by the feelings brought from it.
Excellent.......2006-03-31
There are 3 criticisms of Kate Elliott's Crown of Stars series that I keep seeing book after book.
1. Each installment is too long.
2. There are too many characters.
3. The plot is too confusing.
I don't find any of those criticisms particularly true. For example, I love long fantasy series, thus I expect this series to be long because a friend recommended it to me as being a good, long fantasy series. Similarly, because the series is long, I expect there to be a lot of characters, and for the plot to be a tad confusing on the first read. In short, the fact that CoS is long, character heavy and confusing shouldn't be a deterrent. It's something that by looking at the books on the shelf of your local book store, or reading the page count here on Amazon, is a fact you should expect.
Yes, prospective reader, this series is very long, but there's something to keep in mind; while most long fantasy series are still being milked for all they're worth, Crown of Stars is a complete work. Kate Elliott released the seventh and final volume in February of 2006. So, if you are just about to start reading Burning Stone, or have already finished it, you can be assured there is an end in sight.
That being said, The Burning Stone is the best installation yet. One major achievement of TBS is to really blur the line between right and wrong. I think the thing I love most about this series is that it's so hard to tell who is evil, who is good, and who is right. For example, Anne may be right in wanting to keep the Elvin race from earth, but just be wrong in the methods she is willing to use. I think Child of Flame clears up a lot of questions, but, in order to have a large part of the mystery solved, you'll just have to read on.
I give this volume a five out of five.
Fantastic.......2005-06-28
This series is great, and more thought provoking and interesting than any other fantasy series I have ever read. Although the books are long, I find this good as Kate Elliott is always building up more of her world and making it more believable. This series is not easy to read, but a good challenge. It does appeal to teenagers as both my friend and I have read the whole series and understood it.And changing from different characters is different but I found it to be effective, as some books are ruined by a boring narrator. People should read this book, and don't be deterred by its number of pages!!
More Californian than Celtic.......2004-01-03
Kate Elliot has lost herself in a world of her own making, where the characters, plots and intrigue proliferate without any narrative structure or point. The personalities of the characters slip into the one-dimensional, losing much of my sympathy in the process. With far too many subplots, mysteries and creatures; Elliot exhibits no discipline. Her writing too, is schizoid: one minute the language is arcane seventeenth century English, and the next minute it's more Californian than Celtic. And way too girly. Granted, the idea of a matriarchal medieval society is a seductive one, but do we have to hear quite so much about `gorgeous tunics'? I'm quite sure your average medieval male wouldn't use that kind of language, let alone give a toss what the wench was wearing.
Kate Elliot, if she disciplined her writing and reigned in her imagination a little, could be an excellent storyteller. In order to do that, each book must stand as a novel in it's own right, and central themes should link a beginning middle and end. There is no sign of this in 'The Burning Stone'. There are also glaring and highly annoying editorial mistakes, such as one sentence where the pope-like 'skopos' is refered to as ruling from Rome, which doesn't actually exist in the world Elliot has created.
In short, she's not a bad writer. But she desperately needs a good editor and half-way decent proof-readers.
Awesome.......2003-06-09
While some may think that Kate Elliotts books are to long or have to many characters, I find that both are excellent qualities in a book. How can one imagine them selves in such a world without the insight of the many characters in different living classes and situations? I must disagree with any review that says that these books are to long or have to many characters. Also while the books are written for adults, I that many teenagers (like my self) who like to read sci fi fantasy will enjoy these books if they give them a try.

Pro-Eritrean Propaganda.......2005-05-30
Pateman says in his intro that Eritreans almost universally like his book, and it's easy to see why. This is a highly uncritical, almost cartoonish look at the Ethiopian-Eritrean conflict, in which the Eritreans are always brave and enlightened, the Ethiopians cowardly and villainous. Eritrea is "an oasis of peace and energy... a place of hope for all fair-minded men and women." Why, it's practically the Switzerland of east Africa. It's particularly irritating that Pateman chides Western academics for uncritically supporting Ethiopia throughout the conflict, then describes Eritrea in the same propagandistic terms. Pateman is clearly too close to his subject to evaluate it objectively. For a more sophisticated and nuanced look at this topic, check out Robert Kaplan's "Surrender or Starve".
Workmanlike List Of Eritrea Knowledge.......2003-11-20
For a definitive summary of Eritrean history and social knowledge, you can't ask for much more than this magnum opus from Pateman. Eritrea's 30-year struggle for independence from Ethiopia, finally achieved in 1993, is a remarkable story which deserves much more attention from the outside world, and Pateman is just the sympathetic and personally knowledgeable expert to tell the story. While this book is a treasure trove of all sorts of useful information on all aspects of Eritrea, it is mostly written as a never-ending list with few overall insights or analysis. The early parts of the book show some unprofessional sour grapes toward other writers on the subject, and for some reason Chapter 1 devolves into a useless dissertation on Marxist theories of nationalism which is straight from disconnected professor-land. Most importantly, history has made this book's ongoing usefulness a shaky proposition. The most immense event imaginable for Eritrea - their independence - happened right after this book's first edition, making much of it outdated. This spectacular historical development should have encouraged a significant re-write, or even an entire new book, from this admitted expert authority on the country (though a lack of resources would be forgivable). Thus, Pateman's quick and sketchy epilogue on post-independence developments in this second edition does not do full justice to the remarkable story of Eritrea and its hardworking people. [~doomsdayer520~]
The definitive book on Eritrea.......1999-12-23
I came new to this subject but became rivetted by Pateman's engaged and engaging style. He writes in an easily, understandable but profound way about one of the most significant struggles for nationhood in the XX century. He covers many centuries of history but convinces me that Eritrea is indeed a special place. An enduring sense of nationhood developed during the liberation struggle a sense which has deepened during the cowardly Ethiopian attacks of the last few months. Pateman has helped me understand why the Eritreans have survived and why thay may become very important actors in Africa in the next century.

I don't know what happened.......2006-10-17
At least this book was short. It has that going for it at least. Dave Stone is an interesting writer because he definitely has a different tone than the other Who writers. It's a bit denser, a little looser, more prone to strange metaphors and being goofy purely for the sake of being goofy, regardless of whether the story demands it or not. Most of the time it feels like he writes whatever story he wants and then sort of shoves Doctor Who material into it wherever he can. This story is really no exception, at times it feels like the Doctor and Peri have just wandered into someone else's novel. Word is that this was supposed to be some kind of Judge Dredd crossover, which mercifully was either cancelled, or saner heads prevailed. I don't know if that's true or not but the book cover certainly suggests it, with that MegaCity One looking fellow standing there with the handgun. Still, the Judges get converted into Adjudicators, which makes more sense from a Who standpoint, but it doesn't make the story anymore coherent. Basically, you have a religious nut and a racist nut and between them they're trying to kill everyone. And it's the fault of this entity that's trying to bond with a computer. Or something. The Doctor and Peri really don't try and make sense of it and neither should we. Stone's novels work best when you just sort of go with it and enjoy the ride. He separates the Doctor and Peri early on, which is good because he's kind of a jerk to her (though an anecdote near the end nearly redeems him) and Peri nearly becomes Warrior Woman, which feels just a bit out of character but hey, it's a Dave Stone novel. His mad ideas and prose are what saves this novel for the most part. He's clearly in love at times with the sound of his own writing but the little bits he throws in (the people who blow up livestock are hilarious!) are sometimes more worth it than the main plot, which is a variation on "this happened and this happened and then this and then, oh, it's over." His charactization of the Sixth Doctor seems a tad off, but he does capture that overweening arrogance of the character to a good extent and manages to rationalize Peri's friendship with him in the face of that, so that she doesn't look like a total idiot. Who readers are going to devour this regardless, everyone else is going to look at us and wonder why we like the show so much. It's readable, but there's better out there, including stuff from Stone.
The worst aspects of the Sixth Doctor revisited.......2001-02-10
The Doctor takes Peri to the planet Dramos, curious as to why a three month period of the planet's history is not recorded in the TARDIS databank. It's the Sixth Doctor, so you know the answer to this question is bound to be both violent and unpleasant...
I have heard this book was originally planned to be a Doctor Who-Judge Dredd crossover. The fact that it isn't is, I think, a good thing - Earth's history in Doctor Who is convoluted enough without adding another fictional history on top of it. And I'm not terribly fond of Judge Dredd.
However, it seems that the storyline wasn't sufficiently rewritten to cope with Dredd's excision. With the Doctor spending much time incarcerated, Peri is portrayed in an uncharacteristically violent way which I assume is in part because she takes on roles that were set for Dredd.
That said, Dave Stone does find some replacement of the missing Judge Dredd trappings by using the Adjudicator's Guild, much expanded upon while Virgin had the licence to produce Doctor Who, and so fits the story back into the Doctor Who universe quite successfully.
Not the greatest of Doctor Who novels, and perhaps too reminiscent of the worst aspects of the Sixth Doctor's tenure, it probably isn't a book that will satisfy the casual Doctor Who readers. Those of us who read them all will read it anyway, and it may also be good for Dredd fans as it contains (I think!) quite a bit they will like.
A highly self-indulgent author misses the point completely.......2000-04-25
Dave Stone is certainly impressed with himself. Much of this silly book is written with an overwhelming feeling that the author patted himself on the back after writing each sentence. He would write an ironic paragraph, then spend the next two paragraphs explaining why it was ironic and wasn't it clever of him to have thought of it. He writes the Doctor as some sort of superbeing with superstrength and mind-reading abilities (never demonstrated in the Who universe) who infers everything going on without ever having the facts. This story is bloody and violent and frankly ridiculous. The only redeeming quality is the character of Queegvogel and his arcane speech. Run, run, run away from this one.
Dave Stone attempts to be serious (for once).......1998-03-19
I'm not a huge Peri fan. In fact, I never particularly liked her.
But, in this book, I began to see her as a person, who was human just like the rest of the Doc's companions.
The story is incredibly serious, with a lot of time spent on devolving/evolving the church, religion, etc. Which was actually kinda interesting.
And Dave got to sneak in yet another character who used loooong, many sylabled words. Great stuff!
Judge Dredd meets The Doctor. Fun in places, lacks tension........1997-07-08
If you've always wanted to know what would happen if Judge Dredd met Dr Who then this book is definitely for you. As a Missing Adventure it seemed to lack some of the key ingredients to really capture the readers attention. The Doctor seems to make less of an appearance than Peri and the focus seems to be elsewhere. The villian of the piece doesn't seem to be as important as the characters acting out the scenes and the reader is left a little confused as to the point of it all.
The author seems to have a flair for comedy and I wish he had made more of these talents throughout the novel.

Book Description
'Burning Brightly' is the first full-length book treatment of professional storytelling in North America today. For some years there has been a major storytelling revival throughout the continent, with hundreds of local groups and centres springing up, and with storytelling becoming an important part of professional training for librarians.
In the book, Stone explores storytelling through the storytellers themselves, while providing enlightening commentary from her own background as a storyteller. Included in her analysis are informative discussions of organized storytelling communities, individual tellers, and tales. Issues such as the modern recontexualization of old tales and the role of women in folktales are linked to individual storytelling accounts. Texts of eight stories that exemplify the approaches of the various storytellers are also included.
'Burning Brightly will be compelling reading for storytellers-and for everyone who loves storytelling.
Customer Reviews:
Burning Brightly.......2000-08-18
This book has given me much to think about and provided much comfort. The "much to think about" comes from Part One where Stone looked at storytelling communities. Her analysis of them helped me see more clearly what's here in Kentucky and how those communities function as well as what might be missing and how those could come about and could function. Part Two provided "much comfort." Here Stone looked at individual tellers as they talked about the development of the telling of a specific tale. She also included a transcript of the tale as the teller told it to her. This was fascinating since I love telling fairy and folk tales (wondertales, Stone calls them) and am not that interested in creating parodies or spicing them up in ways that call attention to the teller's cleverness instead of to the story. To read about how storytellers have worked on the telling of a story and about how the story has worked on the teller was like looking in a mirror at my ways of working and seeing that I truly am not alone. Although my comments touch on only a fraction of the subject matter in Kay Stone's book, those two aspects are what burns brightest for me now. To read it was a fine and wonderful experience with thoughts and images "burning brightly" to illuminate my path. Thank you, Kay Stone.
Oral Storytelling -- Canadian tellers, tales and contexts.......1998-11-12
In Burning Brightly: New light on old tales told today, Kay Stone tracks the revival of oral storytelling in Canada. Since the dawn of human history storytellers have entertained, educated and inspired members of their communities, but in the age of books and television their art almost died out, relegated to story hours for children. Early chapters of Burning Brightly explore the many adult storytelling communities which have arisen in cities and rural areas over the last twenty years, including four streams: "traditional", library/educational, theatrical, and spiritual/therapeutic. The book shows how these communities fulfill the human need for meaning and connection. Traditional tales, including many from the Grimm collections, retain their relevance in today's world. Stone explores the reasons tellers choose these old tales and the ways they rework them. In the second half of her book, Kay Stone explores in depth the life stories, thoughts and repertoires of eight contemporary tellers, including herself. Texts of their stories are included. Her own tale, that of a curious girl who meets a dangerous crone and finds her own storytelling voice, acts as a metaphor for the revival of oral storytelling as a performance art. Kay Stone offers rare insights based on her dual career as a popular Winnipeg storyteller and an internationally recognized folklorist. Her book shows the depth and breadth of today's storytelling as does no other book I have seen, and is a valuable resource for storytellers, folklorists and anyone interested in oral tradition and community building.

Book Description
In a world already desolated by an avian influenza, paramedic Alex Gauthier's twenty-one-year-old daughter, Gemma, afflicted by the so-called Lucy virus, is devolving-turning into a proto human-while forest fires besiege the valley where they live. When Gemma asks Alex to kill her-perform a mercy killing-when she is no longer human, he finds himself making a promise he doesn't want to keep. At the other end of the valley, Veronica "Ronnie" Sapriken, the only remaining RCMP officer, is struggling to keep the peace in a disintegrating town while the rest of the world is falling apart, only to discover that someone has been trafficking in devolving kids. Locked away in a FEMA camp outside Spokane, Sage Van Peldt, whose husband and children were among the first to be infected with the strange virus, plans escape back to the valley of her childhood, not knowing whether she will survive the trip, or what she will find once she gets there. Burning Stones is the harrowing story of devolution, and of making choices no one wants to have to make.

Good writing in service of a horrifying plot.......2007-05-26
I can usually handle grim, but this was grim to a level I can't handle. The plot synopsis above is very accurate, and it's up to you if you feel that "not falling prey to the tyranny of a happy ending" or however the reviewer put it is a good thing or a bad thing.
I don't know, it seems to me that at least someone in a book has to experience some hope, some redemption, something besides loss, pain and violence. Every character in the book has everything they care about systematically stripped away. What upset me the most is that we are talking about the world's children here, innocent, defenseless children who are sickened, debased, attacked, raped, enslaved and murdered while a cataclysmic forest fire rages in the background.
As an exercise in horrific imagination, the book works well, but I had a hard time figuring out just what the larger point of this book might be. The overall theme seems to be that man not a moral animal, that he is meant to kill, and learning to kill out of vengeance or mercy is a lost art we need to recover. Well, okay, but in our very present world, killing takes place all day, every day, for every reason. This doesn't exactly seem to be a "fresh" insight.
The quality of the writing is good, the characterization is actually adept, the future was well-imagined (it might have been more merciful if it were less so) and the plot keeps moving, but since all the movement was deeper into the slough of despond, I can't give the book a good rating.
Great novel..........2006-11-01
I was surprised to find this was a first novel, although the author is a published writer. The plot was very well done and the characters interested me from the first page. The story moved along at a brisk pace and I found I couldn't put the book down until I'd finished it. I was hoping for a sequel as soon as this first book ended. This is a great read for anyone, not just speculative fiction fans. Highly recommended!
Book Description
Churches have tried all kinds of ways to attract new and younger members - revised vision statements, hipper worship, contemporary music, livelier sermons, bigger and better auditoriums. But there are still so many people who aren't being reached, who don't want to come to church. And the truth is that attendance at church on Sundays does not necessarily transform lives; God's presence in our hearts is what changes us. Leaders and laypeople everywhere are realizing that they need new and more powerful ways to help them spread God's Word. According to international church starter and pastor Neil Cole, if we want to connect with young people and those who are not coming to church, we must go where people congregate. Cole shows readers how to plant the seeds of the Kingdom of God in the places where life happens and where culture is formed - restaurants, bars, coffeehouses, parks, locker rooms,and neighborhoods. Organic Church offers a hands-on guide for demystifying this new model of church and shows the practical aspects of implementing it.
Customer Reviews:
Superb Summary of "Missional Church".......2007-10-09
I've been looking for a great summary of the missional church concept -- here I've finally found it. Neil Cole calls the reader back to the Biblical roots of church, cutting through traditional paradigms and dated ecclesiology. While maintaining a fresh relevance to the 21st century, the author communicates a way of doing church that is so Scriptural it appears new.
This book is NOT another formula of how to organize, lead or manage a local church. Instead, it is a radical departure from a dying, dated ministry model to one that is Biblically sound yet culturally relevant. I recommend this book highly -- it's definitely a keeper for me!
Four star review.......2007-08-27
Haven't read the book yet but leafing through it it looks good and attention holding...
Really real - and really effective .......2007-07-23
I saw organic church on a bookshelf a couple of years ago. I avoided it because of the title (remember don't judge a book by it's cover?). It seemed a little trendy - maybe even too pop culture. I was looking for some good discipleship material when I came across another book that I had read by Neil Cole (author). When I discovered that this was the same author of Organic Church, I thought that I would give it a quick read.
Organic Church was maybe the best book that I have ever read! It connected the book of Acts with the 21st century. It was inspiring and innovative. And it has put me in a postition to reconsider what it means to be a disciple and to make disciples. It is a very honest and very realistic look at church as we know it. It exposes the weakness in the church, and doesn't hide it's own weaknesses. It is not theoretic, analytic, or synthetic - it's just real - natural. It ends up that being organic means being effective.
What makes a church?.......2007-05-18
I enjoyed Cole's thinking outside the pizza box, his passion for evangelism, and his rather sound explanations of new testament era churches. He does a good job in explaining the biblical idea about the priesthood of believers. I liked the critical thinking about engaging the culture.
But, What makes a church?
It didn't go into much detail about the individual churches themselves, how they are structured, or what makes them definably different than a traditional small group. It read as if any small group of people that organized themselves would have been called a church. Perhaps he lays out further development somewhere and I've not yet come across it.
I'm not sure what separates these little churches from small groups disconnected from a church. He doesn't interact with the rich theological history of the marks of a church, which in my confessional tradition (Presbyterian) are
1. The pure preaching of the Word of God as sound doctrine,
2. Administration of the sacraments,
3. The exercise of discipline
The point here is not to debate tradition, the validity of how many marks define the church visible or invisible, but rather how to blend the material in the book into the richness of good sound theological tradition.

Touching the Heart of the matter.......2007-05-12
This book is awesome. I am a connoisseur of faith in Jesus having started churches and or served in a variety of capacities for more years than I can remember. I've always puzzled over our present western practice of church and the visible practice of church in its origination. What we read in the New Testament is more like a release of a plague of God spreading eveywhere, delivered in power from believer to unbeliever in live demonstrations of the Ascended Jesus.
Finally - a 'go to'model of Jesus that is free to once again spread the life of Christ in a plague like viral fashion, unencumbered by grasps of men for control and power and to make a name for themselves - "Look at me, I'm king of the hill." Church as a business is one of the most foolish concepts we've ever adopted.
Read this book. It will ruin you if you let it. And then you can get on with serving Christ and not something else. It's possible if the western church doesn't go this way by choice, it may still end up going this way, but by some other means. Either way, the model may well be the most correct I've seen, and the most viral in bringing "the Cure" to our fellow diseased travelers here on planet earth.
