Plot summaryThe story begins with a slave driver attempting to sell his latest finds, including a foreign captive known only as Lazar. Hot tempered and confident, Lazar invokes his right to a fight to the death that, if he wins, will grant him his freedom. Zar Joreb, Percheron's leader decides to attend the fight and is so impressed by the demonstrated fighting skills that he offers Lazar the elite position of Spur. ReceptionWriting for The Sun-Herald newspaper, Genevieve Swart gave Odalisque a positive review, stating "the book races off to a good start, leaving us on tenterhooks awaiting the next page-turner", while also noting that McIntosh's "torture scenes might want to come with a warning, so horrifying are the descriptions of medieval-style brutality".[2] Reviewing the novel for The Age newspaper, Cameron Woodhead described the series as "competent" and "fast-paced", but was critical of how accurately Islamic history was portrayed.[3] Odalisque was included in the 2006 Books Alive Great Read Guide.[4] In September 2006, it was rated as the seventh most popular fantasy novel in Australia by Nielsen BookScan's.[5]References1. ^{{cite web | url = http://harpercollins.com.au/global_scripts/product_catalog/book_xml.asp?isbn=0732281806 | title = Odalisque | publisher = HarperCollins Australia | accessdate = 16 March 2008 | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20060906043423/http://harpercollins.com.au/global_scripts/product_catalog/book_xml.asp?isbn=0732281806 | archivedate = 6 September 2006}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Odalisque (Novel)}}{{2000s-fantasy-novel-stub}}2. ^{{cite news|last=Swart|first=Genevieve|title=Double fantasy of thrills, mystery|url=http://newsstore.fairfax.com.au/apps/viewDocument.ac?page=1&sy=age&kw=Odalisque+AND+McIntosh&pb=all_ffx&dt=selectRange&dr=entire&so=relevance&sf=text&sf=headline&rc=10&rm=200&sp=0&clsPage=1&docID=SHD051211JQ50R3J4KRI|accessdate=29 May 2011|newspaper=The Sun-Herald|date=11 December 2005}} 3. ^{{cite news|last=Woodhead|first=Cameron|title=Fiction|url=http://newsstore.fairfax.com.au/apps/viewDocument.ac?page=1&sy=age&kw=Odalisque+AND+McIntosh&pb=all_ffx&dt=selectRange&dr=entire&so=relevance&sf=text&sf=headline&rc=10&rm=200&sp=0&clsPage=1&docID=AGE061202ML15D7JTM2C|accessdate=29 May 2011|newspaper=The Age|date=2 December 2006}} 4. ^{{cite news|last=Swart|first=Genevieve|title=Gruesome fantasy belies a gentle soul|url=http://newsstore.fairfax.com.au/apps/viewDocument.ac?page=1&sy=age&kw=Odalisque+AND+McIntosh&pb=all_ffx&dt=selectRange&dr=entire&so=relevance&sf=text&sf=headline&rc=10&rm=200&sp=0&clsPage=1&docID=SHD070114183L778K3DH|accessdate=29 May 2011|newspaper=The Sun-Herald|date=14 January 2007}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=Top 10 fantasy|url=http://newsstore.fairfax.com.au/apps/viewDocument.ac?page=1&sy=age&kw=Odalisque+AND+McIntosh&pb=all_ffx&dt=selectRange&dr=entire&so=relevance&sf=text&sf=headline&rc=10&rm=200&sp=0&clsPage=1&docID=SHD0609241DB515JJ7QK|accessdate=29 May 2011|newspaper=The Sun-Herald|date=24 September 2006}} 4 : 2005 novels|Novels by Fiona McIntosh|Australian fantasy novels|HarperCollins books |
