Only covers the first few seasons..........2007-04-24
This coverage of the making and cast of the show Xena: Warrior Princess is downright hilarious. Granted, I have an odd sense of humor, but you can tell that the author went out of his way to make this as entertaining as possible. There are lots of spiffy pictures, and two sections of large, full-color photos. The cast bios are particularly interesting, in my opinion; many things you might not know about these crazy actors/actresses (ie. apparently, Ted Raimi is a fantastic swing dancer; who'd have guessed, oh, wait, I always have...never mind). There are little mini-interviews and comments scattered throughout the pages, along with amusing production anecdotes, and episode synopses in the back (paired with commentary by Lucy Lawless/Xena). My only complaint is that this book only covers the first couple seasons. Perhaps there's an upgrade version that I missed, and if not, there should be. I highly recommend this book for even the casual Xena: WP fan, and particularly the rabid ones, though if you're a rabid fan, you probably already own this...
Great Book With Awsome Photos! :).......2003-07-05
This book is great. I have the Warrior Princess Costume all ready! Lucy Lawless Looks sharp on the front cover of this book and I got this with my staff at the Joyce Warner House... I really have to say is that it has great pictures! :)

A must-have for sword-broad fans!.......2002-04-20
What can I say? If you love Xena, you gotta have this!
Speaking for myself, in terms of guilty pleasures..........2002-04-16
....being a hardcore nutball Xena fan ranked for me - but only for a short while - among the highest!But then,now that I've embraced this pleasure wholehartedly, let's put things like this: if anyone wants to understand the ideological linings of postmodernity, understanding the Xena phenomenon provides one of the shortest roads, and if anyone wants to study XWP one has to begin gathering extra information here. I would recommend, however to order this book with Ariele Dorfman's & Armand Mattelart's _How to Read Donald Duck_, if the purpose is scholarly; if you just like Xena, order the two neverthless.
A Must Have If You're A Xena Fan.......2001-03-05
This book is basically the Bible for Xenites. With tons of color and balck and white pictures, you can't miss. There is a in-depth look at the making of the show, including the step by step process of editing, directing, prop making, costume designing, and the music that goes with the show. One littlle tibet I found particularly interesting was that they included the lyrics to the Xena theme song, both the Bulgarian words and their English counterpart. This book also includes detailed plot synoposes of each and every episode of the first through second seasons. This section has a special "Lucy's Take" with her outlook on every episode, which is neat. This book is pack full of Xena goodness (and badness, if you like the evil Xena, with tons of backround on her appreance on Hercules). This book is a must have and essential to any fans collection.
Book Description
In a time of ancient gods,
warlords and kings,
a Land in turmoil
cried out for a hero.
She was XENA,
a mighty princess
forged in the heat of battle.
Xena: Warrior Princess. Gabrielle: Bard of Poteidaia. Theirs was a life of adventure. A life of romance. A life of great deeds and great battles against the forces of evil. A life of good and bad gods, of deep and lasting friendships.
In their travels, Gabrielle, Xena's bosom companion, learned much from the princess. When to keep your sword sharp and your wit sharper. When the size of Your staff
does make a difference. In return, Gabrielle taught Xena the secrets of warmth, kindness, and joy.
Now, in her own recently discovered words, the Bard of Poteidaia talks of what she got from Xena and what Xena gave her, lessons about life that will ease the path for those of us battling on through the modern world.
Customer Reviews:
If I was a bard, this would be my bible!.......2003-05-20
A great edition for any true Xena fan. Read through the list of things Gabrielle has learned from her friend Xena as well as the ins and outs of living life on the road, (or the dirt track as they would say) A great read, full of good laughs and informative too.
pretty good.......2001-09-27
This was a real cute book..a must for any "hardcore nutball" Xena fan. I like the pictures and Renee O'Connor's small top ten list in the front was a big bonus...It was not a real introduction, but good nonetheless. I wouldn't spend a huge amount of money on it..but good for the price here.
Gabrielle's scrolls.............2000-01-19
Hmmmm, this book is quite good - but I believe that there are better ones out there. If you're a complete xena freak like me then, then you'll want to have it - it is amusing, especially as it is from gabby's point of view, and sometimes the author manages to nail it and you can hear gabby's voice saying the words. It's not for someone who doesn't know the programme too well. It often makes brief references to episodes and I'm not really sure how much sense it would make if you hadn't seen them. It is quite a short book, but you'll not want to put it down until you've read it. Don't buy this if you're looking for something really informative about the show. This book is a bit of fun and nothing more - like I said before - something for the die-hard fans rather than anyone else....
Gabrielle's life line story in one book!.......1999-07-29
If you want to learn everything about Gabrielle's life this is the book for you! Her stories and journeys with Xena will thrill and take you beyond the pages of her book. Every chapter has something new, and you learn many things about the way she lives with Xena, and Joxer too. Pick this book to learn more then even Xena knows about Gabrielle's life.
This book will not let any Xena fan put it down!.......1999-07-23
This book is a creative way of putting any xena fan on the journeys. It comes from Gabrielle's perspective of lessons, discoveries, friendship,and many things well taught, that she's learned on the journeys. As a Xena fan I recommend it. Though it's fairly short, It will keep you turning the pages all night long! Complete with a Introduction by Renee 'O Connor, I find it a very believable book.
Book Description
Xena: Warrior Princess chronicles the life and death (and afterlife) adventures of the fierce and fearless Xena as she travels through ancient imaginary lands. Leaping onto our screens in 1995 with the now-familiar battle-cry "Yi-Yi-Yi-Yi-Yi!", the show ran for six series, and its blend of drama, humour, hard-hitting (literally!) action and a knowing modern-day sensibility helped it to achieve mainstream cultdom.
Xena: Warrior Princess: The Complete Illustrated Companion is the only comprehensive, fully-authorised guide to all six series of the groundbreaking action-adventure show, and contains a complete episode guide, plus character and behind-the-scenes information, and details of Xena fandom, all illustrated with over 150 photos, including an 8-page colour section.
Customer Reviews:
Great book,but could have been more extensive.......2007-05-19
Being that I own the Xena guide written by Robert Weisbrot,I wasn't sure what to expect from this one. What I got was a book that was not as extensive as it should have been. The individual episode summaries should have been more detailed than they were. If Weisbrot had written this one,no doubt they would have been. However,I did enjoy reading about the final four seasons,and for that I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
Great Book!.......2004-01-12
Hello All,
I GOT THIS BOOK TODAY AND IT'S GREAT U KNOW...
YOUNG XENA
Depends on how picky you are..........2003-08-10
It's been two years since the series came to a close and ended it's shooting, and we finally have a complete illustrated companion to go along with it all.
With all the time we spent anticipating this book, I believe that it left a bit to be desired. The author of the book either did not do his or her homework very well or did not pay too much attention to detail when the episode guide was written. Each episode review was only three or four lines long, and there were a few mistakes on the episodes scattered throughout. IE-In One Against an Army, Gabrielle was shot by an arrow BEFORE Xena took refuge in the armory. This was actually a rather large point in the plot of the story, but the book states that Xena went to the armory and then Gabrielle was shot. For the episode "Many Happy Returns" the book explains that Xena and Gabrielle enlisted Aphrodite's help to help Genia "enjoy worldly pleasures." Weren't they trying to teach her to live her own life? You may like the episode guide better than I did if you aren't so picky, but I definitely recommend online fan written episode guides over the one in this book. They are usually more in depth and more accurate.
The rest of the book was alright. It has the genesis of Xena, a production history, an episode guide (both for the series and when Xena would guest star on Hercules), character reviews, a behind the scenes look at costumes, makeup, stunts and special effects, Xena's journeys across the globe, a Greek Mythology encyclopedia to help you keep the characters straight, and even a chapter just for the fans of the show. I've been a very avid Xena fan and collector since Xena was first on Hercules in 1994, and if you're like me then you've seen and read all of this before (not to mention having already known all of the information from having memorized every detail of every episode of the show *big grin*). It's nice to have all this in one book, but it's not anything new or exciting to those that have been fans all along. BUT it is one of those things that every xenite should have. I recommend it to all Xena fans, but with the warning of not to have your expectations set too high and the advice that almost everything (if not everything) from this book can be found online.
Book Description
Xena, the warrior princess, and her loyal companion, Gabrielle, have battled the airwaves for love, peace, and forgiveness and become modern icons for fervent devotees. These stories, written by fans, describe the impact the show has had on their lives, from people they've met, relationships cultivated with other viewers, and special encounters with the stars of the show in times of need. Other stories illustrate lessons learned and achievements gained, inspired by Xena's physical strength or Gabrielle's intellect.
Customer Reviews:
Mildly entertaining for the non-Xenite, but probably great for hardcore fans.......2007-08-16
I am not now nor have I ever been a hardcore XENA fan. I enjoy the show and appreciate how important the characters of Xena and Gabrielle were -- along with Dana Scully and Buffy -- for ushering in the modern era of heroic women on television. Although XENA was never as popular as THE X-FILES nor as critically acclaimed as BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, for a host of people Xena and her constant companion Gabrielle were the archetypes of the heroic female, a character amazingly absent in the first fifty years of television. But XENA did not change my life nor the life of anyone I know. I do know that she, along with Buffy, Max Guevara, and other heroic female characters provided my daughter with examples of strong women at a time when strong women were being presented on television for the first time.
Interestingly, this was the second of two books that I have read in the past week on television fandom. I've read a fair amount about fandom, but I've never been much a part of it. I post on a couple of boards, but I'm not a great community member. None of my social life revolves around celebrating a television show, even though I'm a fairly serious student of television and much of my writing and research centers on specific series in particular or the medium as a whole in general. But I've never been to a convention for any show or to any event (apart from a TV Guide sponsored preview of an episode of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA) connected to a TV series and probably am never likely to do so. I have published essays on specific TV series and plan to write additional pieces in the future. So while I'm completely familiar with the series the fans in this book talk about, I'm really not a participant in their world.
Unfortunately, nothing in the book really makes me want to go to conventions. Much of the activity described in this book simply doesn't appeal to me. Out of sheer curiosity I have read a tiny bit of fanfic (BUFFY and BSG) but quickly quit. I found the writing to be of pretty low quality and, to be honest, a tad embarrassing. Most fanfic seems to me to be pretty bald fantasy projection and the examples I experienced fell into the category of "too much information." Nor do conventions interest me. I can't understand standing in line to get someone's autograph or wanting to exchange three or four lines of conversation with someone. I've seen a fair number of celebrities in my life, but apart from a long conversation I had once with Charlton Heston (initiated by him -- I would never have started a chat with someone just to talk with someone famous -- he was, his silly politics aside, an incredibly nice man) and a briefer one with jazz great Sonny Rollins, who asked me where he could get some decent carry out, I've never exchanged words with any celebrity. So I don't "get" why someone would get so excited because they met and talked with Renee O'Connor's mother or exchanged words with Hudson Leick in an autograph line. It is behavior that I neither admire nor envy. It is, in fact, behavior that generates a certain "ick" reaction in me. I personally like my stars exactly where they ought to be: onscreen. This not to say that I wouldn't talk to someone famous out of principle. It is to say that I'd only talk with someone I encountered during the normal course of my life (which happened with Charlton Heston), not because I sought them out at a fan convention or pestered them on a sidewalk or saw them eating in a restaurant. I just don't understand wanting to luxuriate in the presence of someone you don't know, just because you've seen them on TV.
But this is why we read books, to understand and to be exposed to things that are not a normal part of our lives. I'm not a celebrity chaser, but perhaps it is good to read the remarks of people who are in order to understand why they do. Most of us don't read fanfic, so it can be good to read about people who do or people who write it. Most of us don't go to conventions, but reading about the experiences of people who do will expand our horizons a bit. In short, you can learn about the behavior of others by reading this.
The people who will most enjoy this are, however, those who are a part of the XENA fandom. This book truly is created with them in mind.
I did find it interesting to read that the opinions of many others meshed with many of my own to the series. For instance, I found both the second musical episode of XENA and the absolutely horrendous "Married with Fishsticks," which might be the single worst episode that I have seen of any show ever made (it makes the notoriously awful "Beer Bad" of BUFFY look like CITIZEN KANE). I did get a kick out of reading the "subtext" opinions. Here is the truth about the "subtext": the show wanted to tease the fans with the possibility without making it an actuality. They could easily have made it definitive in one direction or another, but they deliberately chose not to. But there is no question that it is the most passionate friendship between two women that we've ever seen on TV. And whether they were physically intimate (I suspect they were not, given Xena's closing line in the episode where Michael Hurst's reporter character bluntly asked them whether they were lovers -- Xena starts to answer but gets out only the one "Technically . . . " before technical difficulties cut off her reply, but the only thing that makes sense would be something like, "Technically no, but we love each other." But even that could be a tease. Truth is, they didn't want to tell us.) or not, they obviously and truly loved one another. I've never quite understood (along with other things that I don't understand) why we had to nail down the kind of physical relationship they had.
So, I'm not sure what kind of recommendation to make here. Casual fans of the show should probably pass. Rabid fans will enjoy it. 'Tweeners like me could either take it or leave it. I needed to read it for something I'm writing, but not many can claim that need. The only other consideration is that there are shockingly few decent books on XENA. There are virtually no serious guides to the show and no critical discussions in book form apart from essays in a couple of books. Speaking objectively, I think XENA was almost as important in creating the new heroic woman on TV as BUFFY (Buffy came first in movie form, but Xena was first on TV, but most subsequent female heroes were based more on Buffy), but the number of critical works on BUFFY is staggering, while next to nothing has been released on XENA. Among TV critics and historians of TV and scholars, XENA has yet to get its due. So, in the absence of other books on XENA, this is one of the few books with which we are left.
Touching, funny and a great Xenite adventure.......2004-03-25
Now, first, I promise I'm not just giving this book 5 stars because Nikki is a good pal of mine, nor because I have a segment in it (Forget Eden, Give Me Adrienne).
Nikki Stafford has passion for the books she writes/edits. From her first book "Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Connor: Warrior Stars of Xena" to this one, Nikki never fails to grasp the fandom. "Warrior Stars" to this day is the best compainion book for "Xena." "How Xena Changed Our Lives" was created when Nikki had trouble getting fans to write for "Trekkers: True Stories by Fans for Fans" and it was suggested to her to make a "Xena" book. Though the "Trekker" book has some great stories, "How Xena Changed Our Lives" has all the passion. People can finally read WHY a tv series can change a person's life. Whether it helps you out of a rut, is the cause for meeting new people or inspires you to volunteer, this book captures the heart of Xenites. There are stories that will make you laugh, ones that will make you jealous, and ones that will truly make you cry. An Xenite will love this book, and I recommend it for non-Xenites as well (especially if you know a Xenite) as an invation into our world.
Greatest Xena Book.......2002-12-07

A Treasure for the True Xena fans.......2002-11-27
I perchased this book, and was pleasantly surpised by how much I enjoyed it. Of course this book isn't stricktly for fans of the Xenaverse. It has some wonderful stories from the fans on how the show changed thier lives. Some are funny, some are very touching and personal. Xena was a show that transcended it's cheezy mythology setting, and introduced the world to two characters (brilliantly played by Lucy Lawless & Renee O'Connor) that broke so many new grounds with the journey they took us on. This book celebrates the effect it had on the fans, and does so wonderfully.

The first collection of Xena short stories..........2004-12-07
17 stories by some of the most well known (and not so well known) authors, all set in the Xena universe. Adventures, Gods, magic and wrestling. Most of the stories are good, but you can tell that many of the authors didn't work together. One story says the City of Thebes was long gone, while another said it still existed. And in one story, about the battle of Salamis, Xena CARES about what the Greek Gods think about her. When did Xena care about what ANY God thought about?
So while this might be the first collection, it will also be the last.
short xena stories.......2003-01-25
this is a very good book, i couldn't put it down. there are lots of short stories in this book, so it doesn't get boring. if you are new to the xena paperbacks, this is the book to get you started.
Good post-Xena series collection........2002-05-11
Whether you liked (cough, cough) the final episode or not; you will love to regain your enjoyment for Xena and Gabrielle in this
collection of short stories. Pretty good. Also: "Damsel in the Rough" by Ann M. Tempesta and "Tropical Storm" by Melissa Good--authors who know how to produce a gutsy warrior babe!
Not Just for Xenites Anymore.......2001-11-19
Like many Xenites, I bought this book to read the work of fanfiction bard and series screenplay writer Missy Good, and I wasn't disappointed: Missy's stellar final story in the anthology made it worth the money.
However, I was thrilled to discover that the person picking the anthology entries and the writers submitting the stories were just as spot-on, dead center in their portrayal of Xena and Gabrielle as the best screenwriters and fanfiction bards out there. With the possible exception of the lengthy story involving Joxer (can't recall the name right now), every story gave wonderful new yet insightful glimpses of the characters we know and love. Further, for readers of all types of sword and sorcery fantasy, this book offers believable plotting and emotionally engaging characters.
This is a book that every Xena fan should own and one to pass on to non-Xenites. Spread the word-- this one's not just for Xenites.
Xceptional.......2001-09-17
I wasn't ready to let the series go yet. Thankfully Gabby and Xena lived on in this collection of short stories. Any and all XWP fans will love this book!!!
Customer Reviews:
I rarely write a bad review, but ..........2005-11-06
I am sorry to have to write a bad review on this novel, though I find sometimes negative criticism is good for a writer to improve, and I hope if the author reads this review that she is not hurt by what I have to say, but perhaps learns something for her next novel.
I was *sorely* disappointed in this novel. It had the makings of a great story, but alas, it was not. First of all, plot poorly constructed. Cerberus, Hades' 3 headed hound's job is to keep the living out of the Underworld and the dead in. He is not evil himself as he is made in this book. Also chacacter names and weapons are spelt wrong!! Xena's Horse is Argo (not Argos). Her weapon is called a Chakram (not a Charka, which is are points of light in and outside of the body). Roman and Greek mythology was mixed up. In Greece, the place of the Dead is called the Underworld and the God of the Dead is called Hades. In ancient Rome, the place of the Dead was called Hades, the God of the Dead, Pluto. Since Xena is set in ancinet Greece, the *God* should have been called Hades, not the place. And if Hades' hound is running amok, surely Hades (the God) would have something to say and do about it? He does not even get a *mention* in this poorly constructed novel. Again a very big disappointment. It's a wonder it got any positive reviews at all. Did they actually *read* the book!!?? The only two good things I'll say about this book were that I felt for the child seer character and the image of flames dancing was nice, but as for the rest of it, I really wonder how in Hades they made it past an agent and a publisher! Really! It angers me that there are many, many great writers out there, struggling to get wonderful writing out and stuff like this is printed. With a little more work, effort and research, the author could have really gone places with this book, but as it stands, I'd rather go to Hades.
Pretty good.......2003-01-12
I read this book several years ago while the plot of the television series was still young, season 2 or 3. The book is consistant with that timeline, which has been screwed up, spun around, and dumped upside-down since then. Around the same time I also read the Ru Emmerson books, and I do like this book much better than those as they are not consistant to the Xena timeline/plot and cannot stand alone-you would have to read the first and then the second and so on to understand everything that's going on. This is a stand-on-its-own kind of book and has a Xena-like plot to it. One problem that seems consistant to me in the published Xena novels is lack of emotion. This book held more emotion than the Ru Emmerson books.
If you want a good, stand on its own Xena adventure, this is the book for you. If you want a Xena adventure the provokes serious emotions and feelings, as the show itself often did, you may want to consider online fan fiction.
Doesn't capture Xena Gabrielle characters.......2000-03-11
This book did a poor job of conveying the essences of Xena's and Gabrielles characters-especially compared with the Ru Emerson books. In this book Gabrielle does too much simpering and is too much a little girl-no thought is given to what makes Gabrielle and Xena a team. And the sexual tension between them is totally absent-this book seems more geared towards the young male audience than both the tv show and the Ru Emerson books-which I highly recommend-especially if you didn't like this one.
Enjoyed it though I didn't feel the entire Xena excitement........1999-11-03
This book is better than Xena.... Magic Arrow of Myx. I got the Xena feeling. I couldn't put it down. I was even doing house chores and reading it at the same time. "Prophecy of Darkness" was a very good book. Even this has a down side. I didn't quite get the ENTIRE Xena feeling and aura. But I would suggest it for all die hard and not so die hard Xenites alike.
It was ok..........1999-09-02
Better than Ru Emerson's books. This book makes you feel that Xena and Gabby are friends and that Xena is developing as a character (with emotions towards other people), not just a paper-cut-out of a warrior.
Book Description
It's the ultimate confrontation between good and evil when Xena and her friends must protect Helen from her brutal husband, Menelaus, after he discovers where she is hidden.
Customer Reviews:
At least it ends..........2001-01-01
This is a sad end of a very painful series. All three books just don't seem to fit in the 'Xena' Universe. And the ending, while being right out of a Greek style play, is not really fulfilling. Don't get me wrong, I want books to be made about Xena, BUT by somebody else! I don't need to know every little detail of a dusty trail or a copper cup or the deep blue sea.
Very Cool!.......2000-09-20
I think that this book has a very satisfying ending, and that any die-hard Xena fan should have it, in addition to all the other Xena books that this fantastic author has written.

Book Description
Left for dead on the cross by the Romans, Xena struggles with delirium and deceit as she must decide her fate -- to relive her dark past or to face the grim spectacle of her present. And when her choice casts her into Hell, the big bad guy himself offers her the opportunity to sit at his right hand if she will lure to the Netherworld a pure, powerful soul -- a certain Norse God of Thunder! -- to lead a war against Heaven! These story lines are interwoven with those of the finale of Season 4 and the premier of Season 5 of Xena: Warrior Princess.

Graphic SF Reader.......2007-09-03
Xena and Gabrielle are being literally crucified at the start of this volume. Hell has been trying to seduce Xena into being a conquering warlord again, through the agency of Callisto.
Xena tries to resist, but the torture and seeing Gabrielle being executed in the same manner get to her, and she seems to fail.
Hell sends her on a mission to corrupt Thor, but the Thunder God is a little more than Hell can handle.
WOW!...........2001-04-05
I just bought this graphic novel and boy I was really pleased. I think the story was great and the artwork was absolutely fantastic. I would suggest to any die-hard Xena Fan to buy this graphic novel. I give 5 stars!
Fun!.......2000-08-29
I actually read all of the Xena stories and found this one to be fun like the others
What happened before Hell!.......2000-08-27
This graphic novel is split into three parts, the first two are excellent, the third doesn't seem to fit. The artwork is excellent and we get to see Xena at her evil best. It was fairly enjoyable, but not the best.
