Book Reviews
Blind Vision
"Blind Vision's forte is the development of its characters and to a lesser extent of the intrigue that surrounds them. Blind Vision is a novel of people, not events; of burgeoning relationships not bloody battles; and of imperfect characters' emotional development, not of irredeemable evil despots or angelic do-gooders....if you enjoy well-plotted pseudo-mediaeval fare with an element of nicely understated romance, then Blind Vision should amply satisfy."

"Marguerite Krause creates a captivating world full of intrigue and secrets. Part of the fascination is living through Phillipe's visions. Be prepared to become spellbound on the journey Krause will take you on in Blind Vision."

"This highly original fantasy took my breath away and came very close to stealing my heart. The unique characters, the interesting premise and the excellent writing, by a very talented author, will measure high by anyone's standards..."
"...You'll also root for reluctant lovers Zuli and Phillipe as hard as if they were your dearest friends. Of course, by the end of the book, they are."
