( ) Some Summer Lands is my favorite work in the Atlan Saga. Take Edgar Rice Burrough's Tarzan, H. Rider Haggard's Lost Civilizations and John Norman's Gor in a land "before the continents were formed" and dinosaurs and human coexist and you have Atlan. The heroine of the first three books (or four, since sometimes The Serpent is split into two) is Cija. Raised as a princess in a tower to believe she's a goddess and males are extinct, through the books she has more perils than Pauline, going from Empress to brothel slave. Cija does grow on you, important that the first books up to now purported to be her diaries so you were getting everything from her perspective. Some Summer Lands is told by Seka, her daughter by the snake-man general Zerd--and far smarter and snarkier than her mother even at her tender age. Sometimes I'm embarrassed to admit I've read these, let alone these are favorites that have been on my bookshelves since my teens, but there you are. Addictive like crack. Or just crack pot. This end to the sage makes me feel less embarrassed ;-) no reviews | add a review
