	Britain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Because of resistance to Roman rule in Armorica (which was supported by Celtic aristocrats in the islands) Julius Caesar responded with two invasions of the main island in 55 and 54 BC.
		The kingdoms established on the island of Great Britain were perceived to be dominant over the whole archipelago, which was known as the British Isles.
		Great Britain is indisputedly the name of the large island, but is occasionally used to mean the UK, for instance in the modern Olympic Games.

	Literaturschock: Interview mit Kristen Britain
		Kristen Britain: I had always thought the notion of a messenger's job as being dangerous was intriguing, which led me to wonder who would do that kind of job, and what sort of adventures they'd get involved in.
		Kristen Britain: There will be more stories about the Riders, for as long as the story needs to be told, and for as long as my publisher wants them.
		Kristen Britain: I spend time at www.sff.net where a lot of authors have newsgroups, and anyone is certainly welcome to join in.

	Rambles: Kristen Britain, First Rider's Call (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Britain is attentive to the social forces shaping the cultures in her world and her descriptions of natural settings are more than generic landscapes.
		Her combat scenes are sometimes jarring, but in such a way as to convey the shock of such encounters, and as a result they are very effective.
		Britain deserves credit for taking a situation with basic similarities to Lackey's work and marking it with her own style.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Green Rider
		Kristen Britain can be found in Maine paddling a canoe in stillwater, ambling through woods to mountain summits, or sitting along the rocky shore listening, watching, and daydreaming.
		The Riders themselves, with their mysterious magic and ancient heritage, are a fascinating creation, and Britain eschews the cliché of the medieval fantasy setting, combining 16th and 18th century elements into a culture with a strong Scottish feel to it.
		But Britain's technique noticeably improves over the course of the story, and by the book's end she has settled into a swift, easy style.

	First Rider's Call -- book review
		I thought that she was a talented writer, albeit one who resorted to too many fantasy cliches, and hoped that her second book (which was supposed to come out a year later) would move away from those.
		While this isn't the most original plot around, Britain does try to do some new things with the familiar tropes she is using.
		She does suffer from a few cliches (Eletians are basically elves with the pointy-ears filed down, for example), but for the most part she avoids the potential landmines in her path.

		I thought that she was a talented writer that resorted to too many fantasy cliches, and hoped that her second book (which was supposed to come out a year later) would move away from those.
		I realize that Britain may be setting up something for the next book, but I think she should have also made it mean something in this one as well.
		I hope that Britain has since hit her stride and that we will be able to keep the originality in the third book and go back to some of the smooth writing of Green Rider.

		Kristen Britain tells her story at a headlong pace and with considerable charm.
		This may not turn out to be a classic, but I for one am looking forward to the sequel, as I find Kristen Britain's style to be emminently readable, and her storyline strong enough that I want to read it without interruption.
		I have spent a week reading it, and the daily infusion of Kristen Britain's writing made it a truly joyous time.

		Britain's first novel is a classic quest tale set in a standardized medieval fantasy world.
		Britain also makes notable use of class distinctions as motivators, a tact not often seen in fantasy.
		But Britain writes an interesting fantasy that is not completely clichéd, in spite of the elves, the spider, and the Strider character.

	First Rider's Call by Kristen Britain
		Quite brave then of both Britain and her editor to jump straight into the story - no précis of book one, no 'story so far' set out for newbies (as a bonus, also no map or interminable prologue).
		After five years, this may be shooting themselves in the foot a little but the back-story is woven in subtly enough that you garner all the major facts quite swiftly after a few pages.
		Britain captures her dialogue especially well, just tart enough to cut through most of the sentiment at key points.

	Green Rider by Kristen Britain Book Reviews
		The story was engaging, the pacing was perfect with action scenes alternating nicely with scenes of repose, the characters were vivid and lifelike, and the dialog was a joy to read.
		Britain has a firm handle on character interaction and plot development and has used that to craft a tight, focused book.
		Britain takes this idea and spins a yarn that engaged my imagination every time I picked up the book.

		Recently had a chance to read Kristen Britain's first book, which I'm remembering now as "Green Rider", which is probably close but not quite right.
		Kristen Britain does, I think, a great job of making a heroine who feels about as real as the average epic-fantasy hero.

	Book Review: First Rider's Call
		Although the book was well written, the characters interesting, and the story well-conceived, there were some problems for me, in that Kerigan spends most of the book reacting, rather than acting.
		One of the very interesting things that Britain does is break up the narrative with journal entries from long ago by Hadriax el Fex, who was the right-hand man of a character called "Mornhavon", who is now somehow the source of evil scourging the countryside.
		The essence of Mornhavon is supposed to be trapped behind a mystic barrier called the D'Yer Wall.

		A young woman on the run discovers her true destiny--as a magical messenger--in the extraordinary adventure that has thrust first-time novelist Kristen Britain into the master ranks of Mercedes Lackey and Melanie Rawn.

		has the feel of a freshman effort about it, but this debut reveals author Kristen Britain's promise.

		Kristen Britain shows promise, and with such huge fantasy names as Terry Goodkind and Lynn Flewelling in her corner, her future (and Karigan G'ladheon's) looks bright.

	Romantic SF & Fantasy Novels \| Weblog Entry - 08/16/2003: "First Rider's Call by Kristen Britain"
		While none of the settings or themes are particularly original (Britain's mining the usual vein of high fantasy tropes), the Green Riders are well drawn and most of her villains actually have a touch of menace to them.
		There are, of course, obstacles in the way, and I'm sure that any subsequent book will cover her relationships in more detail.
		I think one of the greatest reasons people find these books refreshing is that Britain doesn't end them on a cliffhanger.

		I've just visited Kristen Britain's web page, and it says there that she's still working on her third Green Rider book, but the title is still not known.
		i think Kristen Britain should write her books as if none of her others were best sellers yet; and not let her work be influenced by outside sources.
		Green Rider and First Riders Call are my favourite books, and i hope that Kristen writes her sequel just as well.

		Here are some fantasy authors I like very much; Mark Anthony, Jude Fisher, Miller Lau, Anne Bishop and Kristen Britain.
		Also Cecilia Darth-Thornton's Bitterbynde Trilogy was pretty good but I confess I haven't read the last book - the second was moving a little slowly for me - I really loved the first book though.
		Miller Lau, Anne Bishop or Kristen Britain are authors you really should try.
