A Short but Informative Entry
Volume Six of "Chronicles of Eden" is a shorter installment in Alexander Gordan's fascinating fantasy. While the previous Volume contained 15 long chapters, Volume Six only has 11. However, I can assure you that this entry is no less interesting, especially if you love learning the truth behind vague secrets.Volume Six focuses less on action and more on characters and the truths surrounding them, which was a welcome change of pace, given how interesting this information turned out to be.Daniel is coming to understand his new-found skills, Clover's inner pain is given focus, and, perhaps most intriguing of all, we finally come to understand who and what Daemon is and how Sasha and Rulo came to meet him.In the meantime, Tabitha makes a strange new friend and Triska starts to go through some changes . . . some truly frightening changes. . . .The world of Eden and its inhabitants continue to enthrall my imagination. I watch these characters as they grow and learn about each other, and I feel as though I'm traveling with them on this adventure.Here's hoping Daniel, Daemon, and their girls are ready for the next chapter, because things are about to get rough. . . .

Great addition to an amazing story
An old enemy returns with her set on one of Daniel's mates. The story continues as many old characters are reintroduced and join newfound allies.

Character building and understanding
A short (2-3 days cover to cover) read but has quite a few very good details about, and helps in the build understanding of, several characters and explains exactly what the mysterious swordsman is... Now if only we could get hardback editions of the series...

Alexander's inadequate world building is revealed, but the story still works, barely.
This act had one major problem. It covered I think one day of time in the world and the characters did not move. It seemed that each chapter would introduce a new problem of a lost companion or a disaster in the caravan they are moving around in, or a visit from an enemy. These would result in the group not moving while they resolved the problem. The instant one problem was resolved a new excuse for sitting around on their rear ends rose up.Of course, there also is the new fetish play, especially with Alyssa's self appointed job to "punish" any of the other female characters who get out of line. The punishments aren't sexy in any way, but I get a feeling that Alexander meant them to be.But, while I had definite misgivings about the direction the tale was going, as well as the sudden transformation of Triska into a strange melding of human and succubus, the story is still interesting and I found myself wondering where it was going.I did have one MAJOR quibble about the tale. In Act IV, the Gemini pairing is supposedly sent far to the east and effectively removed from the area. Now just a few days later if we have been following the storyline closely they have assembled a massive army capable of eliminating the centaur kingdom completely. This was NOT a good way to push the plot in my opinion. I found myself wondering how this deus ex machina trick made its way into the story.It was a sign that Alexander really needed an editor for this series. From this point on there are several WTF moments where a reader will have to wonder why the villains can seemingly teleport all over while Daniel and his companions never appear to move.
