Thief of Souls: Book Two In The Star Shards Chronicles

9 reviews
Neal Shusterman

Tor Fantasy, 2000

The Reciew
Theif of Souls is one of the best books I have ever read. The beginning of the book throws a whole new twist on the theory of Greek Mythology when we are first introduced to the Bringer. I read this book in less than two weeks, normally it would take me three or four months to read a book this size. The book truly is an amazing story and I would definitely recommend it to anybody, because this ...

Warrior (The Hythrun Chronicles: Wolfblade Trilogy, Book 2)

Jennifer Fallon

Tor Fantasy, 2007

As always - fantastic
Jennifer Fallon is an author who you know will always deliver the best. In all of her books she has never once disappointed me. That's why I will not hesitate to buy her books as hardbacks and why in her newest Tide Lords series I have spent the extra money to order her books from Australia just because I don't want to wait the year or two for the whole series to come out. Her books are well ...

Conan The Rogue (Conan)

9 reviews
John Maddox Roberts

Tor Fantasy, 1992

Excellent blend of genres
This Conan adventure finds the Cimmerian looking for a mysterious artifact, a la The Maltese Falcon, and cleaning up a gang plagued town, as in Kurosawa's Yojimbo. This eccentric blending of several genres works quite well making it one of the best of the numerous pastiches. Roberts works in all of the threads and comes up a with a cohesive adventure. Highly recommended for fans of Conan, ...

Mistborn

8 reviews
Brandon Sanderson

TOR Fantasy, 2006

Solid and interesting book
Mistborn is a solid fantasy book, which is a rare thing in a genre which has so many mediocre books. A standalone novel that starts a series, Mistborn tells of an interesting magic system, exciting action and strong narrative. A pleasant diversion for any fantasy fan.

Harpy Thyme (Xanth)

29 reviews
Piers Anthony

Tor Fantasy, 1995

Piers has another winner on his hands!
Harpy Thyme is beautiful beyond the amazing illustrations on the cover. Piers Anthony takes the story of a Xanth maiden who is alternately accepted and rejected by both species of her family. When she goes in search of a suitable mate, the young goblin-harpy gets more than she bargained for from Good Magician Humphrey. If you love Xanth and/or a good yarn, check this book out!

The Initiate: Book One of the Time Master Trilogy

11 reviews
Louise Cooper

Tor Fantasy, 1985

This book is incredible!
I just recently got a copy of this book and ever since I've been glued to it! It's a really good book. Definitely worth the time it takes to read. The only problem is the ending, and there are 2 more to help with that. I have no complaints about this book. The confrontations especially are superbly well done, if you have any inclination toward fantasy or science fiction (especially both) this is ...

The Tower of Fear

9 reviews
Glen Cook

Tor Fantasy, 2007

Another Excellent Book by Cook
"Tower of Fear" is yet another excellent book by Glen Cook. It's very well-written, exciting, and suspenseful. Unfortunately, as with almost all of Cook's books, this one is hard to find (i.e., it appears to be out of print). I don't know why publishers don't re-print these books. Outside of the Black Company books, almost none of them are now available. I know that the SFBC publishes 3 (or ...

Man From Mundania (Xanth)

20 reviews
Piers Anthony

Tor Fantasy, 2000

A highlight of Xanth
"Man from Mundania" is number 12 in Piers Anthony's ever-growing Xanth series, which makes it the third volume of what I think of as the 'next generation' of Xanth novels (the first um, 'trilogy' ended with number 9, "Golem in the Gears"). In a way, it also marks one of the last of the old style Xanth books: although the series continues to be entertaining and amusing, I am less often enraptured ...

The Scorpion Shards (Star Shards Chronicles) (Star Shards Chronicles)

13 reviews
Neal Shusterman

Tor Fantasy, 1996

A Dark Fantasy
Shadow-black tentacles wrapped around the cradle of the telescope. A clouded face that swarmed with a million hideous insects descended upon the astronomer's desk and something with cold dark fur brushed past Tory, its breath sickly sweet. Scorpion Shards by Neal Shusterman is an exciting novel in which six kids, each with a strange physical or emotional mutation, must discover how to get ...

Air Apparent (Xanth)

6 reviews
Piers Anthony

Tor Fantasy, 2008

Searching For Hugo
Air Apparent (2007) is the thirty-first fantasy novel in the Xanth series, following Stork Naked. In the previous volume, the Sorceress Morgan le Fey was frustrated at every turn. Finally, she disguised herself as Surprise Golem, but Che the Winged Centaur was ready for her. Surprise recovered her baby and returned home. In this novel, Wira is worried about her husband Hugo. He had gone ...

Lord of Lies

4 reviews
David Zindell

Tor Fantasy, 2009

Lord of Lies
The Lord of Lies is the second book in Zindell's ambitious epic fantasy. It leads straight on from the Lightstone and though it's a much shorter book than LS, it doesn't lack any of the imagery and story. The plot of the series seems one that's been done before, obviously Lord of the Rings has an influence and so do many other books in the genre seem to ring a tune throughout, but, Zindell ...

Queen Ferris: Book Two of the Stoneways Trilogy (The Stoneways Trilogy)

6 reviews
S. C. Butler

Tor Fantasy, 2008

Very good
This is a brilliant follow-up to Reiffin's Choice. Butler's world is as intriguing as it is believable. I can't wait to read the next.

God of the Golden Fleece (Book of the Gods)

3 reviews
Fred Saberhagen

Tor Fantasy, 2003

Great fantasy
Following a deadly battle between the Gods and the Giants, a shipwrecked Proteus barely manages to reach a nearby beach but has lost his memory. Already on the shore are Jason and the Argonauts preparing to continue sailing in order to take the Golden Fleece from King Aeetes. Proteus decides to join the quest and performs feats beyond that of the heroes of the Argo. As Proteus begins to ...

The White Tyger (Tor Fantasy)

4 reviews
Paul Park

Tor Fantasy, 2008

Burning bright
The White Tyger is just as wonderful as the previous two novels in Paul Park's Roumania sreies. The novels are profoundly character driven in a way that few genre novels are; they deliberately and specifically refuse to conform to a conventional quest narrative. No-one knows exactly what they're supposed to do; they're making it up as they go along. All of the main protagonists (and some of the ...

Herminie Templeton Kavanagh

Tor Fantasy, 2005

Darby O' Gill
I enjoyed this book quite a bit. Although the Disney Movie was based on it loosely, there are many differences. The stories in the book were set in Tipperary near the Mountain of Slieve-na-Mon; the movie was set in Kilarney near "Nok-na-sheega" In the book Darby is a young man with a son and at least one daugher and his wife, Bridget very much alive and part of the stories. In the movie he is ...

The Well of Shades (Bridei Chronicles)

5 reviews
Juliet Marillier

Tor Fantasy, 2008

Best Juliet Marillier book yet
Juliet Marillier's The Well of Shades combines poetic writing with strong character development in this third installment of the Bridei Chronicles. The two main characters, Faolan and Eile, are among the most realistic characters Juliet has ever portrayed. Both of these characters share tragic pasts, but with the help of each other, work to overcome them. Juliet Marillier did an excellent job at ...

One King's Way (Hammer and the Cross)

5 reviews
Harry Harrison

Tor Fantasy, 1996

A great book, very believable and well constructed.
This book is a sequel to The Hammer and the Cross. I have not read the earlier book, but people speak very highly of it, and this sequel deserves just as much praise. It's an alternate history with supernatural elements involving Viking, Christian, and other religions. It is carefully and intricately constructed with interesting technology developments (for the so-called Dark Ages) and ...

Prince of Fire and Ashes: Book 3 of the Tielmaran Chronicles

3 reviews
Katya Reimann

Tor Fantasy, 2003

Solid, fantastic, rich, and full--even for a new reader
This book kept me up into the wee hours before I had to admit defeat and turn out the light. The characters were engaging, and the world is vividly drawn. This is old-style fantasy in the sense that the author has created a world that I'd like to visit, and people that I'd like to know. It's also old-style fantasy in the fact that Reimann's world is completely suffused with magic--every ...
