The Soul of Lilith, Volume III

This is the last volume and was published in 1892.THREE STAR REVIEW:3.0 out of 5 stars Life After Life, August 19, 2009 By Dave_42 "Dave_42" (Australia) - See all my reviews(TOP 1000 REVIEWER) Volume three opens with Lilith telling El-Râmi to wait. He does so for a while, but eventually he has to force the issue, he cannot wait any longer. When forced to choose between the beautiful spirit and her beautiful body, he is unable to let the body go. The story has a tragic end for El-Râmi in one way, though in some ways he is freed from his doubt in the end, and perhaps his final days were the happiest he had ever known. Féraz is able to survive quite well, and finds the life he needed to have with the monks on Cyprus. This book does have some new ideas and new twists in it, but it is a bit too similar to her previous works "A Romance of Two Worlds", and "Ardath" for me to give it a higher rating. Thus far Corelli has only shown a couple of types of works, those which deal with the conflict between faith and science, which to some extent one can add "Thelma" to this and the works already mentioned; and then there are those works which deal with the idea of vengeance for which she wrote "Vendetta!" and "Wormwood". It is the spiritual men from the East who she favors in her novels, and European societies are viewed as decadent, though there are a few good people caught up in the decadence.
