	Judith Tarr: White Mare's Daughter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Tarr chooses to follow several different characters from different societies, demonstrating the variety in her neolithic civilization.
		Tarr's use of Indian-sounding names is a constant reminder that the majority of modern European languages came from the root Indo-European language.
		Nevertheless, it is to Tarr's credit that, although her characters seem obsessed with sex and rut around as if there were no tomorrow, the author doesn't go into details, merely acknowledging the occurrences and treating them as a normal part of her civilization.

	Amazon.fr : Queen of Swords: Livres en anglais: Judith Tarr (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Tarr weaves a spellbinding tale of two women confident enough to defy convention in order to fulfill their remarkable destinies.
		As Tarr explains: ``Each child that was born took its mother to the gates of death.'' But despite all that Baldwin has cost her, Melisende sends him into a foolish battle against the infidels, after which he challenges her openly for her crown.
		Tarr moves among points of view narrates most events through a fictional Frenchwoman, Lady Richildis, who, having trekked to Jerusalem seeking her brother, becomes a lady-in-waiting for the queen.

	Judith Tarr Books - Signed, used, new, out-of-print
		Tarr returns to the always fascinating character of Alexander the Great in this fantasy novel that springs from the legend that the Queen of the Amazons came to meet him in Persia, and became his friend.
		Judith Tarr, who has a doctorate in medieval literature from Yale, narrates the tale of Queen Hatshepsut, whose reign in ancient Egypt was essentially erased from history by a malevolent nephew who also had claims to the throne--until 20th-century discoveries restored Hatshepsut's place in the succession of Egyptian rulers.
		Tarr presents a historical fantasy set in Egypt in the 12th century about a young man who is turned into a horse for punishment and must undergo harsh lessons in order to be returned to human form.

	Amazon.ca: Lady Of Horses: Books: JUDITH TARR (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		She also comes into a mare’s erotic hunger, the satisfaction of which Tarr, herself a horse-breeder, describes with white fire.A lively story in the action prose of hacks (type, type, type), but Tarr’s sensibility and creation of an alternate feminine mythology would make Joseph Campbell dance a jig.
		As with many of Judith Tarr's novels, everyday life intrusions are as annoying as the flies that can torment the Horses.
		I never let go of a Judith Tarr Novel however, as this book, like her others are meant to past the test of time and be read and re-read for years to come.

	Judith Tarr, The Devil's Bargain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)

		In Tarr's version of history, Richard's mother, the infamous Eleanor of Aquitaine, is a powerful sorceress who has struck a bargain with Sinan, the Old Man of the Mountain.

	Amazon.com: Pride of Kings: Books: Judith Tarr (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The fantastic may be subsidiary to fact in Tarr's (Kingdom of the Grail) latest historical fantasy, but it lends an eerily beautiful, sometimes frightening undercurrent to this engrossing, thoroughly satisfying novel, set in the late 12th century.
		Tarr smoothly blends a dazzling array of characters from both history and myth: Eleanor of Acquitaine, her "face still beautiful, like a wood in winter, stripped of all its softness"; Philip of France, who after abandoning Richard in Palestine seeks to invade Britain; "Robin o' the Wood...
		Judith Tarr has taken fictional characters and woven them in with historical characters to make the story line plausible.

	Judith Tarr: King and Goddess
		From her recent output, it seems Judith Tarr has turned her back on fantasy novels, such as Alamut and The Hall of the Mountain King, in favor of writing nearly straight Egyptian historical fiction.
		Partly this is caused by the fact that so much of these interactions take place off stage or as glossed over by Tarr, but Tarr's treatment of her characters is much more narrative than it could otherwise be.
		Tarr's depiction of Hatshepsut is a model of duty.

	Judith Tarr, Devil's Bargain / House of War / Pride of Kings
		While Judith Tarr's novels Devil's Bargain, House of War, and Pride of Kings are supposedly historical fantasies dealing with the Crusades, one of the most bloody, savage, and violent episodes of our history, the books are disappointingly tame, boring, naïve, and biased.
		However, in a rather disconcerting contradiction, Judith Tarr, who provides an intelligent and fair-minded view of Islam and paganism in these novels, is disappointingly biased against Christianity.
		I wish Tarr could have gone into a little greater detail of how magic worked for the characters, but as it is, the fantastical elements seem stale and overused.

	Raven's Reviews: Judith Tarr
		Although I've seen at least three other books Tarr has written, I've been reluctant to read them because The Hound and the Falcon was so well done, and there is nothing more she could have said about the main character, whom I love.
		In Tarr's history (which apart from the elves is accurate and extremely well-done) there are changelings, elves, who appear either as orphans or as children of human parents.
		Tarr has a knack for weaving history and fantasy that makes it easy to believe in Alf as part of our own history, and a sure grasp of the Catholic Church and its influence in this time period, not to mention a wonderful set of characters.

	Amazon.com: Devil's Bargain: Books: Judith Tarr (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		After the brilliant, subtle Pride of Kings (2001), in which England's Prince John refreshingly proved to be a hero rather than a villain, Judith Tarr stumbles in her latest alternative historical fantasy, Devil's Bargain, which concerns King Richard and the Third Crusade.
		Tarr (Pride of Kings; Kingdom of the Grail) crafts an alternate history of the First Crusade that blends magic and myth with meticulously researched historical fact to create a tale of romance and intrigue that belongs in most libraries.
		As Tarr notes in the Author's Note, the Third Crusade was something of a let-down.

	Amazon.com: House of War: Books: Judith Tarr (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		As the queen of Aquitaine adds her strategizing to the plot, Tarr's compelling mixture of magic, myth, and history becomes a regular page-turner and reason to hope for a further sequel.
		Author Judith Tarr paints a wonderful picture of an alternate history where magic is real, where Richard found a compromise in his crusade and built a crusader nation that welcomes people of many faiths, and where Christian, Jewish, Moslem, and pagan magicians strive in the perpetual battle against evil.
		Tarr's skillful use of the danger to Siomed's children increases the story's emotional intensity as does the growing affection between Mustafa and Giuliano.

	The Fiction of Judith Tarr
		Whether or not, for instance, there actually were cities in Old Europe remains in question among historians, but not for Tarr, who finds the stuff of epic much livelier here as she's cut loose from her usually lackluster limning of figures like Alexander the Great, Akhenaten, and Hatshepsut.
		Tarr weaves into the fabric of the strange facts of this ruler's life such arresting fictional threads as the story of the commoner Senenmut, son of a pot seller, who becomes Hatshepsut's confidant and secret lover as well as her chief servant and overseer.
		Tarr is consistently competent or better in all the essentials of fantasy saga construction--characterization, world building, a system of magic, and, of course, prose.

		Romance reigns in Tarr's absorbing historical fantasy, in which William the Conqueror of Normandy, the reincarnation of King Arthur, must be taught to master his own magic by his witch-wife, Mathilda of Flanders.
		William's destiny is to throw down the "walls of iron" against the fey beings of the Otherworld, erected by the Saxons and Christianity.

	Rambles: Judith Tarr, House of War (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Tarr presents an alternate history to the reign of Richard the Lionheart, in which he is King of England as well as Jerusalem.
		Tarr blends the colours of historical facts with the richness of a magical plot, and the reluctant Richard must again rely on magic, which he detests, to try and win the war against Evil.
		The emotions and arguments seem so real, the war scenes are bloodily descriptive and the romantic interludes exquisitely tender, while the evil exudes horror and despair throughout and threads of magic hold the story together with vibrant colour.

		Daros, the handsome young heir to Han-Gilen, is a drunken, womanizing, useless peacock of a prince.
		As punishment for illegally opening Gates between worlds for his own personal entertainment, Indaros "Daros" Kurelios, feckless heir to the Princedom of Han-Gilen, is exiled by Merian, Lady of the Gates, to the care of her great-grandfather, the Emperor Estarion, creator of the Gate Laws that Daros so blithely ignored.
		It's a tribute to Tarr's ability that, while the novel ends with enough loose ends to indicate the direction of this continuing series, the book can also stand alone.

		In addition, an interesting note at the end of the book explains just where Tarr took artistic license, which might entice some YA readers to seek out nonfiction accounts of this historical pair or the period in general.
		Tarr (House of War) continues her series of historic fantasies in which magic and the old religion play a key role.
		I have never found a book by Judith Tarr to be anything other than wonderful and this one is no exception.

	Pillar of Fire by Judith Tarr
