Review
Praise for The Finest Creation:
"Rabe's fun, galloping romp of a story launches a new fantasy series....Rabe (Redemption and other titles in the Dragonlance series) deftly puts some beguiling twists on the guardian-angel theme. The rearing steed on the jacket will signal young horse lovers that this is a book for them" --Publishers Weekly
"The author of several novels set in Wizards of the Coast's "Forgotten Realms" setting has created her own world and populated it with vibrant characters both human and animal" --Library Journal
"Jean Rabe has not only garnered many awards in the field of imaginative games, but she has also some dozen role-playing novels to her credit, plus numerous short stories and articles. Her store of knowledge concerning war (in all periods), strange civilizations, and magic-white and black-is indeed prodigious." --Andre Norton
"Jean Rabe is a helluva storyteller"--Margaret Weis
"Enjoyably entertaining..it is as if C.S. Lewis had decided to write Black Beauty as a fantasy." --Mel Odom, Alex Award-winning author of The Rover
