Reactions and Reviews
It's all undertones here, hints and allusions, as once again, Tori throws me off balance. There is no overt act of revenge here, no gloating over cold dishes. Instead, Ares talks with Xena and Gabrielle, not now, but years in the future, and settles old scores by doing...Well, how he does this is ambiguous, and therein lies the story's beauty: it invites the reader to decide, never commanding, always suggesting. Is Ares, now mortal, exactly what he seems? A single read isn't enough; you need a few to get into its corners, its attic. Subtle and smart. No sex in this one, with a power generated in dialogue and those elliptical gestures that are Tori's special touch. [1]
