This series is amazing. I have finally read all of Anne's work. Her writing is so unusual, with great depth. I love how she gives you a complete sense of her characters and the environments in which they live. The way she connects her characters in this series, relating them to the warrior and the bard is so complex and simply brilliant. Anne is definitely one of my favorite writers. I highly recommend anything she writes. - S. Lee - May 17th, 2003   

I'd never read any of Miss Azel's work until recently, and that was a glaring oversight - she is very talented. This is the first story of hers that I read and is still my favorite. Read it, you won't regret it. - Arassar - Aug-07-2007   

There are certain series that you read over and over.This is one of them. I love this concept on how the stories are so intertwined. - purplehawke - Apr-22-2009   

Interesting characters and great plot - Anonymous - Aug-11-2009   

I read the whole series and it was an incredible set of tales. Great plots and individual stories all tied together by the mystery of the ancient grave.Kudos to you Anne Azel for writing such a great piece of entertaining fiction. - uber goober - Apr-29-2010   

I love everything written by this author but the Seasons Seriesis my favorite.MUST READ - jadedone - Sep 25th, 2002   

If you like the Dar and Kerry series by Melissa Good, then you will love the Season Series also! You can't help but laugh, love and cry right along with Robbie and Janet. The children Ryan and Reb' are just as endearing and fun to read about. A MUST READ & HIGHLY RECOMMEND! - Chrissie - Sep 29th, 2002   

This is one of my favorite Series. - purplehawke - Aug-25-2007

I am surprise this series does not have more recommeds, talk about a hidden gem for all my fellow urber Xena lovers. These characters are amazing and the writing just lures you in. This is another of my all time favorites and trust me, i've read many. - Brighteyez08 - Oct-08-2009   

This is a really well-conceived and original series, incredibly authentic background stories with some very witty dialogue. I enjoyed it immensely, and only regret that I stayed up all night to read all four chapters. Nicely done! - XNALIVS - Jan-28-2010   

Simply put. Excellent!!! I loved the story, I loved the characters, I loved the Plot. This tale has "It" all. Ms. Azel is an incredible author. I can't wait to read more! - uber goober - Apr-30-2010

You can feel the chemistry between the characters, you can pictures their personnality... the bond between them.When you wish you could meet them, or strongly believe that if you would, you for sure become good buddies ^^ then I think the work can be called a masterpiece!

This amazing story is the 2nd(!!!) in Journey Series (South Africa, China, Kenya). Correct it, pleaze :) [Editor's Note: Corrected. 10-1-2009]
- LeadOn - Sep-21-2009   

Must read. - Z-88 - May-03-2010   

I really like the Journey Series by Azel. Not only for the catching plot, interesting characters and the good writing style, which is something this author always manages to achieve, but also for the very insightful information these particular series offer about the land, culture, politics and people of the countries the stories are named after. I have read all three stories numerous times, and indeed every time I felt taken on a wonderful journey!
BTW: This story is finished. [Editor's Note: Updated. 5/18/2010]

A powerful story around a theme. It would have been good to read a sequel as the relationship between the characters is compelling. - lyn B - May-27-2011   

this story is too short.. it feels like the beginning of a larger story.. - xtra dog - May-16-2015

Ahh!! This talented bard has concocted a Xmas tale extraordinaire!! In her innimitable style, Anne has captured the spirit of giving in our overly commercialized world, and spun it for us as a present. Thanks for a wonderful tale!

i disagree with some of the comments here:***SPOILER ALERT***

in a perfect world there would be no need to be provided with a job through social services, nor would the tree be necessary to prove a point.. in our world however.. so this isn't a tale about a perfect world or what would happen in it.. it's about our world and how individuals can make a change.. - xtra dog - May-16-2015   

Anne Azel is a Christmas present! Thankk you, Miss Anne for this reminder of the true meaning of Christmas. You continue to bring joy and thoughtfulness into my life through your stories. I can't imagine my life without them. And thank you Athenaeum! You are Santa every day of the year!! - samantha - Dec-21-2016

Once again Ms. Azel delivers with yet another couple of great stories.The way the tales were ended could lead to more Dark Matter Corps. stories and I would like that very much. - uber goober - May-10-2010   

This was a really good story. I'm thrilled there is a sequel to it, which I am about to read right now. I couldn't put this one down. Anne Azel is truly a gifted story teller. - Aerows - Jun-10-2010

Here we have another hidden gem with no recommendations. This series has actually been published but, the author has kindly left it for us. People you should really, really check the series out. - Brighteyez08 - Oct-08-2009   

I just absolutely love Anne Azel's stories. They are truely wonderfully inventive and entertaining. I highly recommend reading all her tales. - uber goober - May-13-2010   

another story in this series finished.. there were some inconsistencies in this one.. - xtra dog - May-18-2015   

A great read. - Brighteyez08 - Oct-08-2009   

Another wonderful read in a amazing series. - Brighteyez08 - Oct-08-2009   

I'm really impressed with Ms. Azel's talent. Her stories are rich and full and draws you into the tales so well you can see them in your mind taking place as you read them. - uber goober - May-15-2010   

dead duck leading to a wild goose chase.. - xtra dog - May-18-2015   

Her writing and characters are so very realistic that you don't just read Anne's stories...you live them!! You should start with the "Seasons series" as you meet Alberta Pateas towards the end. What's even better is you get to read about Robbie and Janet in the "Murder series" also. It's great how she weaves all her characters in and out of each story. - Chris L. - Sep 13th, 2002   

Dont forget to read this one, great series. - Brighteyez08 - Oct-08-2009   

Great Author and as always from Ms.Azel a wonderful story. - uber goober - May-12-2010

A great story and as usual with Anne Azel's story telling I can't wait to read the next one. - uber goober - May-12-2010   

i may like this series better than the seasons series.. - xtra dog - May-17-2015   

WOW! This is a great piece of just what Aliki goes through emotionally with the jobs that she has taken. (forensics&police work)When she describes what 'a plane is down' means to her, you 'feel all that she does'. This story is so well written you feel like you know everyone and want to comfort them all. The reactions from the kids and supporting characters is right on. It is a fast paced ride down the rode of emotional breakdown and the struggle/pain that it wraps around each person, and the fight to return. After reading this, my respect for all involved in fire and law enforcement has increased ten fold! A MUST READ!! - Chris L. - Nov 19th, 2002   

What a fascinating story. Anne Azel did a wonderful job with writing about a very sensitive problem. the pain, love, and struggles are written in such a raw way that you will 'feel' them and wish you could reach out and help them. A definite heart gripper well worth the read!!! - avid reader - Dec 2nd, 2002

Wow! That was quite a ride. I belive that is the darkest story by Ms. Azel that I have read to date, but just like a train wreck you just can't stop watching it (or in this case reading it)Bravo and bring on some more! - uber goober - May-17-2010   

definitely the darkest story in the series.. so far.. and now on to the conclusion.. - xtra dog - May-18-2015   

Anne's writing just gets better & better. It's no wonder that all her novels have been published. - Avid reader - Sep 16th, 2002   

I just finished reading the Robbie and Janet and Aliki and Dawn stories. They are a fantastic read. Anne has a wonderful way of weaving a story and her characters. All I can say is please, please write some more stories with these characters. I'd especially love to see what developes between Ryan and Mac! Keep up the good work! - Xenangabfan - Nov-22-2008   

Read it, you'll thank me for a great recommendation. - Brighteyez08 - Oct-08-2009   

Iloved it. The whole series is incredible. I definetly recommend reading Ms.Azel's work. - uber goober - May-18-2010   

****SPOILER ALERT****
in 'dead right' reb was 7 years old.. if i'm not mistaken, reb was 4 when ari got married.. 'dead ringer' takes place a year after the last story.. so ari should have been married for 4 years in this story..

that being said, i do like this series.. i love the descriptions the author gives about the autopsies.. - xtra dog - May-19-2015   

I read the whole series. They were all great and incredibly entertaining. Highly recommended! - uber goober - May-03-2010   

This is part of a whole series. They are all great reading so start with the first one and enjoy. - uber goober - May-03-2010   

WOW! this has to be one of her best works yet. It is set 10 years later. The kids are grown. Ryan is 26, Reb is 16 and Mac is 23. Who's dating and who's getting married? who is trying to get their one true love to notice them again. Don't miss this funny, poignant story. All of Anne's characters are back in this great 'family' story with a very 'un'Brady cast. - Chris - Mar 4th, 2003   

Once again, Anne has come through with another quality story. The plot is fun and the characters are engaging (and it's so nice to see the return of our favorites!). While reading it, I felt as though I was visiting with old friends. The whole "Seasons Series" is a treat and this was a great way to end it! - indigal - Mar 7th, 2003   

The last of the seasons and murder stories. All the favorite character meet once again. The only thing I didn't like is that Ryan comes across as an arrogant self-centered woman. Mac shouldn't have taken her. - Anonymous - Oct-28-2007   

That was a wonderful wrap-up story to the seasons and murder series. Thank you. Loved seeing what happened to Mac and Ryan. Read this wonderful author. She is fantastic. - Anonymous - May-16-2010   

I just love everything Anne Azel has written and this tale is great like all the others. Her stories are so full and warm and so well written that I don't want them to come to an end. That is definetly the mark of a great author. - uber goober - May-19-2010   

I loved all the seasons stories. Great writing and I will return to them again and again! - Bolly - Jan-10-2011   

Once again, a super story about the Williams extended family, great to catch up with them all 10 years later and to see how the children have grownup!!

Do we get a 20 year update Anne? - CoolNik - Apr-09-2011   

Excellent story in the series. Every character is brought to life by Anne Azel. Touching, romantic and laugh out loud funny in parts of it. I like these crazy people and their lives. A wonderful read. Highly recommended. - Lyn B - Jul-24-2011   

This is a wonderful addition to the Seasons Series. This is my favourite series from all of Anne Azel's stories. Well worth your time and Azel's depiction of that area of Northern Ontario is spot on - she has the feel of it. Makes me wonder what the Williams clan has been up to lately. - Georgia - Nov-20-2012   

This is great follow up to a great story just pitty it wasn't listed with the other 4 of this series just found it weeks after reading the first 4 instalments . Loved this series could read about them forever X. - SD - Aug-27-2015

This story has it all. Humour, angst, sci-fi, mystery, and a dose of reality! Very few authors can mix all this and come up with a non stop page turner till the end... Anne has done a fanatastic job. A MUST READ! - Reader - Sep 24th, 2002   

This was an excellent story. I couldn't stop. Awesome! - Jen - Nov 15th, 2002   

I was so surprised by "Iron Rose Bleeding". There is a healthy dose of the very real problems our planet faces, handed in a very intellegent and wise manner, there is theory, there is Ralienism, there is love and danger...and it all comes together in a most satisfying way that will keep you hooked. I couldn't put this one down! - Taleweaver - Mar 2nd, 2003   

Bloody brilliant... can't say anything more... overwhelmed and this is just bloody brilliant - Jade Devlin - Apr 4th, 2003   

With this story, Anne separates herself from the rest of the bards. She reaches far and above the rest. I have never read a story like this before. It is unique and brilliantly woven. Her sense of detail to an imaginary world is fascinating. Her creativity blows my mind and her ability to effectively express what her vastly creative mind has created is awe-inspiring. Run, do not walk to read this story. - S. Lee - May 17th, 2003   

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Ms Azel, you've ruined me for anything else.the logics is so clear i don't know what to believe in anymore, and the language... Tay is incredible, her reasoning is PRICELESS!! my brain and my heart thank you. give my love to your muse - brilliant work. - Katrina - Nov 8th, 2003   

I've read this story five or more times now. Each time I read it, I find something new. It is beautifully written and thought provoking. Ms. Azel, thank you for sharing your gift. - Annette - Jul 6th, 2004   

I kept calling to my partner, reading her lines from this story. I kept reciting several wise sentences, and wanted to run and post them on the fridge so I could be reminded what "WHAT?" truly means, or what "putting a face on really represented. This story touches several issues about earth and it's people, and about other's planet's potential beings. Loved it, loved the characters. Thank you, author. - Anonymous - May-26-2006   

I had seen this story recommended before and since I had recently several of Ms. Azel's stories, I thought I should give it a try. This is an INCREDIBLE story that should be read by everyone. Anne Azel is a terrific writer who creates remarkable stories that will not let the reader go. - Anonymous - Jun-02-2006   

What a fine story. I bought the characters right away and their distinctive personalities were refreshing. This is one of those stories that could be really depressing because of the issues it presents. Instead it was interesting and hopeful. One problem: I want more of this story. - Krystin - Sep-29-2006   

Incredible. This story left me absolutely speechless with it's depth and density. This isn't the best piece of fan fiction I've read in a while - this is the best piece of fiction I've read in a while.

Please write a sequel or at least let us visit this world again.

One of the most original stories I've come across in X/G/Uber fiction. Once I started it, I couldn't put it down as I wanted to know what the heck was going on - and when I finished it, I couldn't get the grin off my face. Definitely recommend this one - an extremely impressive story that goes beyond the boundaries of uber. - MEC - Oct-20-2008   

I think what's really great about this story is it's uniqueness, and what's unique is always a welcome fresh breath of air. No, but seriously, I think I got a bit smarter just reading it. Now I'm actually quite intrigued by the author - mary - Dec-05-2009

I really liked this story. Great job. - sassy123 - Feb-05-2011   

Very enjoyable story. Romantic, with lots of twists and turns before it reaches a satisfying conclusion. Recommended:-) - Lyn B - Jun-21-2011   

WOW! This is a fantastic story. Great characters, excellent plot ... definitely an amazing read! - Ricky - May-08-2013   

Wow, what a story ! Anne is certainly a brilliant bard. Not unlike a spider who weaves her web and captures her prey and holds it captive. Captive I am - I am now committed to reading every single beautifully crafted story she has created. Thank you soooo much for this ! - Thothgirl - Sep-12-2014   

This was a very cute story! - Charlie13 - May-10-2009

One of my all time favorites series. you will not be disappointed. - Brighteyez08 - Oct-08-2009   

I love the seasons series by Anne Azel. So far everything I've had the pleasure of reading by her has been more than well worth taking the time to do.I am sure that if you take the time to read it you will be glad you did. - uber goober - May-03-2010   

i can't stop reading. next is the last piece, i almost dont wana read it cos i dont want this to end but i just can't stop now. - crv - May-09-2010   

Just finished the whole series and i thoroughly enjoyed it! thank u Anne. - crv - May-10-2010   

****SPOILER ALERT****
i really dislike the fact that janet fell in love with sb else eventhough she admitted robbie was her soulmate.. too much rl for me.. i like my romantic stories to be clear cut.. wooful times may befall them but falling in love with sb else? just, no! that is more of a betrayal than just having sex with sb else.. falling in love is about emotions.. emotions you should only have for your partner.. so i don't like janet in this story.. i could put the blame on Alberta, but she wasn't in a relationship.. janet was.. robbie could have had sex in prison in order to facilitate her survival.. she didn't.. she chose the hard road.. janet had no such quarrels.. she just watched a beautiful woman dance with knives and kissed her? yeah, just no..
i will read the last part of this series, but with a lot of trepidation.. i'm not all that confident that i will get my (romantic) happy ending.. - xtra dog - May-16-2015

Great addition to the series. - Brighteyez08 - Oct-08-2009   

Read and be entertained! Make sure you start at the beginning of the series, then dive in and enjoy! - uber goober - May-03-2010   

Excellent story in the series. Very well written. The characters are so vivid and the story draws you into their lives. Highly recommended:-) - Lyn B - Jul-24-2011   

****SPOILER ALERT****
i was sooo relieved when janet clarified she hadn't been in love with alberta.. i have nothing against alberta.. she is a nice character, probably even related to robbie.. but still, thank you, anne, for setting my soul at ease with that clarification.. - xtra dog - May-17-2015   

I really enjoyed this story. I just kind it sad that a disaster has to happen for acceptance to take place. - Anonymous - Oct-18-2015   

Just one word.. wow. - Flo - Jul-13-2016   

What a wonderfull story. It made me laugh and cry. Took me back through time, think about milestone events and reminded me how far we've come, to be able to live more open lives. Highly recommended. - colorado fan - Jul-24-2016   

This is a wonderful story! You'll laugh & cry following the circle of life - Gia - Sep-07-2016   

I love this story as I do any written by Anne -- she has a way of writing that is a pure pleasure to read. - Linda - Sep 1st, 2002   

Azel weaves a rich tale of forgiveness, coming together and eternal love!! Do not miss it! - JC - Nov-22-2008   

The encounter series is great stuff. The only bad thing about reading Ms.Azel's stories is once you get started you don't want to stop. - uber goober - May-03-2010   

Fantastic Story! It is my favorite of the Encounter series. I highly recommend all of Anne Azel's stories. - Anonymous - Sep-08-2014
