HEIR OF FAXINOR Reviews: Now THIS is an awesome story! The author took the unlikely combination of a princess and a valkyrie and somehow managed to make it work! In doing so, Michelle Levigne has proven to be very gifted in her chosen field of writing amazing stories! In fact, I understand that there may be more upcoming books set in the Faxinor realm! I can only hope this will be true and will closely be keeping my eyes on the store bookshelves for more books from this author! HUNTRESS

A
beautiful medieval tale rich with description of that time period,
Ms. Levigne transports you through time so
you can travel with Andriixine on her quests to save her mother, on
to the bloody battle fields of war, all the while fighting her
attraction to Kalsan. |
VERY
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED This
is a wonderful story. You hate to put the book down.
The characters are real, the descriptions just right.
You can't wait to see what else is going to happen in
Andrixine’s life. The
strife and the struggle she must come to grips with in order to
become the new Sword Bearer makes HEIR TO FAXINOR a book that is
impossible to put down.
I highly recommend this novel to lovers of fantasy and eagerly await
the sequel that is planned for this book. Millennium SF&F * Reviewed by Kathy Rapp

Heir of Faxinor is an entertaining read, great for an evening's
escapism.

Don't
look to HEIR OF FAXINOR for long passages of florid, descriptive
prose, often found in fantasy novels. Instead, Levigne writes in clean
and crisp manner, as pure as her underlying message of faith. … Far
from preachy, FAXINOR reads as a novel of spiritual (not necessarily
Christian) growth, as well as emotional growth by the characters. …
And Andrixine, feisty and intelligent, is anything but the submissive
female character that a reader might expect from a novel with an
underlying theme of faith. I would have no problem handing this book
to a non-Christian friend of mine, an avid reader. Levigne's message
of faith, like George Lucas's in 'Star Wars', goes beyond boundaries. HEIR
OF FAXINOR had me cheering for Andrixine, admiring her courage and her
creativity. And cheering also for Kalsan, who loves her enough to be
more than a lover. He's first and foremost her true friend. Levigne
has constructed characters who definitely make you want to see more of
their stories by the end of the book. I highly recommend it to fantasy romance fans who want to see a delightful first novel. Michelle did a wonderful job in worldbuilding and with her characters. … HEIR OF FAXINOR had me cheering for Andrixine, admiring her courage and her creativity. And cheering also for Kalsan, who loves her enough to be more than a lover. He's first and foremost her true friend. A tale definitely worth reading! www.writerspace.com/paranormalromance * Reviewed by: Linnea Copyright © 2000 for PNR Reviews LORIEN reviews Many
recognizable themes play out in this book - betrayal, intrigue,
romance. When I began
to read Faxinor Chronicles 2: Lorien, I thought it was going to be
like a thousand other fantasy novels I'd read. But about a quarter
of the way through, the book took off, throwing a curve I did not
see coming. It was filled with likeable, three dimensional
characters. ... The POV shifts were handled well, and there was
never a point where I didn't know who was thinking or what was going
on. Adventure, love and a satisfying ending made me want to read
this book to the very end in just a few sittings. A good read. Lighthouse Literary Reviews * 4 lighthouses * Reviewed by Risseybug
