From Publishers Weekly

Anthony (the Xanth series) overreaches with this ambitious but clumsy pro-environmental "message" novel. Interconnected vignettes trace the progress of a man and a woman, Blaze and Ember, through repeated reincarnations at different points in humanity's development. With settings as diverse as prehistoric Africa, T'ang Dynasty China, medieval Lithuania and a dystopian near-future America, Anthony's showcases little-known societies and events as he attempts to demonstrate how "the traits and abilities that enabled man to survive and prosper in the past are now about to drive him into disaster." The uninspired historical reconstructions sometimes exhibit an irritating patriarchal bias; stilted prose features awkward explanations, comically stiff dialogue and adolescent, voyeuristic treatment of sex. Failing as compelling historical fiction, this work, with its preponderance of factual material, is likely to disappoint Anthony's loyal fantasy fans as well.

From Library Journal

An archetypal man and woman, joined by their unfulfilled destiny, provide the link in a series of vignettes that explore the panorama of human history. Fantasy/sf veteran Anthony's latest novel is, on one level, a story of reincarnation, as the couple known as Blaze and Ember seek each other through the centuries. On a deeper level, the author identifies those human instincts that at one time guaranteed the species' survival but that now harbor the seeds of its self-destruction. The first of a projected series, this is perhaps Anthony's most ambitious project to date. Well conceived and written from the heart, this title belongs in most libraries.
