Tina 3 - Yay!

Writing this in the wee small hours after being glued to Clya Brown's third and final epistle in the ‘Tina Palamac’ saga. We’ve all been waiting 15 years for this and it’s been well worth it! Complicated? Very. Unusual? Certainly. Worth the time and effort? Most definitely. It can be read as a stand-alone, but I would recommend reading (or re-Reading) the previous two volumes to refresh your memories. Clya is such a clever writer with a marvellous grasp of physics and the imagination to create detailed and improbable scenarios that nevertheless work out wonderfully well. The dialogue is witty and sharp and the pace is relentlessly absorbing.
Having got to the end, I will probably have to start again at the beginning to try to re-grasp some of the nuances... being a bit slow in my dotage! Anyway, this a real tour de force and a fitting end to the saga. Well done! 8M-M)

Tina Entanglement,
Yay Yay and thrice YaY!

It is a truth universally acknowledged in fan-fiction writing that a good story is ruined for want of an ending. Thankfully, Clya Brown has saved us from that torment.

Yes, Skybase Girl, I decided as well that the smart thing to do for maximum effect and pleasure was to re-read the first two parts before Tina 3 and I would definitely recommend that to any potential readers.
The whole saga is truly mind-blowing, and Clya has the masterful writing skills ad prowess of a published Sci-fi author and historical novelist rolled into one. It's the Foundation Trilogy for Anderfans.

A masterpiece which will repay further readings. Well done, Clya for hanging in there and writing to the end, for this reader, it was truly worth it! 8M-M)
