Glad I Found This One
This book was recommended to me by multiple people and I found out why once I read it. It is my new favorite book, and Francine Rivers is definitely a new favorite author.

Homeland (Forgotten Realms: The Dark Elf Trilogy, Book 1)

R. A. Salvatore

Wizards of the Coast, 2004

Welcome to the Underdark and the realm of the drow...
Salvatore grabbed our attention with the Icewind Dale trilogy, and one of the heroes of that unlikely group of friends was Drizzt Do'Urden, a drow (or dark elf, as they are often called). To our delight, Salvatore's next project, dubbed the Dark Elf trilogy, served as a prequel, to tell us about Drizzt's past, and to introduce us to the world of the drow. I cannot recall another author who so ...

Rebel Angels (The Gemma Doyle Trilogy)

Libba Bray

Delacorte Books for Young Readers, 2005

Impressive
I enjoyed this book. It was a bit longer than I expected (550 pages seems like a lot for a young adult read); however, the writing was simple and easy to follow, so it didn't become tedious. The plot was very nicely designed. I enjoyed the first book as well, but this one was even better. This book is a worthy addition to the Gemma Doyle saga.

The Locket (The Christmas Box Trilogy)

Richard Paul Evans

Simon & Schuster, 1998

Excellent story!
This was an excellent book! It wasn't just a typical romance, instead, it focused on what comes after falling in love. Devotion, kindness, and respect were themes in this novel. It was well-written, and kept my attention until the end.

Excellent!
This triology along with the arrows of the queen triology are among my favorites of the Valdemar series. Full of magic, action and meaningful relationships along with an exciting plot that leaves you wanting more.

Test of the Twins
This book is the third out of a series covering the twins Caramon and Raistlin. This book was a great book and explains the story of Raistlin becoming the greatest mage to ever live. Great book, very hard to put down.

The Door Within : The Door Within Trilogy - Book One

73 reviews
Wayne Thomas Batson, 2005

Review by a teacher and daddy
The Door Within was seemingly written with two large goals in mind: the first would be to absolutely enthrall young readers with action, adventure, and the ever-deepening courage of someone their own age. Many young people have thought "wouldn't it have been cool to be a knight" or to turn from everything you've ever known to an adventure that few believed was real; this books tells that story. ...

Henryk Sienkiewicz

Copernicus Society of America / Hippocrene Books, 1991

A great book, but the translation could be better
I've read Kuniczak's translation of the Trilogy and greatly enjoyed it. It was my introduction to Seinkiewicz. However, while reading it, it seemed somehow incoherent, like something was missing. It also seemed impossible that the companions of Zagloba would be so credulous of his boasting. I went and found a copy of the 1890 translation of the Trilogy by Jeremiah Curtin. What a difference! ...

Ted Dekker

Thomas Nelson, 2008

Not a kids book
I have to say that way i purchased this it was for a light read. Nothing too deep. I was mistaken. This book ties in at least 3 other books of his outside of the Black, Red, White. Be on the look out for those references. Great writing, very engaging.

War of the Twins (Dragonlance Legends, Vol. 2)

52 reviews
Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman

Wizards of the Coast, 2001

One of the best books in the Dragonlance saga
War of the Twins is one of my absolute favorite books to come out of the Weis-Hickman machine. Mind-bending concepts of time travel and of the future locked in place combined with world-altering events makes for a dramatic and intense read that will keep you up late at night. It is also perhaps the most emotionally tense book in all of Dragonlance. The interactions between Raistlin and Caramon ...

Just Beautiful Review
Heather Barlow, the main character in Angel of Mercy, was back from Africa as a missoionary, and was trying to readjust to the big Miami lifestyle she used to be acustomed to. Although she was happy to return home to her family, she could not forget about losing her beloved Ian, or about little baby Alice, the child that she rescued that needed surgery. Heather was so sad to leave, nothing could ...

C. S. Lewis

Scribner Book Company, 1996

Excellent Series
Out of the Silent Planet C.S. Lewis Scribner Paperback ISBN 0684823802 This is the first book in C.S. Lewis's amazing Space Trilogy. These books are far less known than Lewis's Narnia series or even his Mere Christianity or The Screwtape Letters, yet it is just as good as any of those writings and goes to show the versatility of Lewis as an author. This first book begins with our hero, ...

Twilight Falling (Forgotten Realms: The Erevis Cale Trilogy)

28 reviews
Paul S. Kemp

Wizards of the Coast, 2003

A Series Worth Reading
I fear the Forgotten Realms was in a slump for awhile until this gem of an author came onto the screen. Kemp has a flair for easy-flowing narrative, tormented characters with snappy dialogues you can't resist reading about, and break-neck speed plots that do not fit the cookie-cutter mold of today's fantasy, but dare leave the audience standing aghast saying, "No! It can't end that way, I must ...

The Irish Wine Trilogy

Dick Wimmer

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2001

Irish Wine is intoxicating
Irish Wine, by Dick Wimmer, is a stunningly lyrical, achingly funny trilogy that presents some of the brightest, yet most flawed, characters I've encountered. Wimmer portrays the Artist, in various incarnations--the frustrated, the famous, the obsessive, the unrecognized, the paralyzed. These characterizations are poignant, yet completely irreverent. As a result, Wimmer creates an unexpected ...

Harvey Fierstein

Signet, 1988

Harvey Fierstein - Genius
Ever since seeing him accept the Tony for his adaptation of "La Cage" I have had a tremendous admiration for the sheer creative genius of Harvey Fierstein. But "Torch song Trilogy" has got to be the icing on the cake; the cream on the top of Mt. Everest; the spark that set off Guy Fawlks Day on the 5th of November in London! And as if the tale wasn't enough, that fantastic narration by Mr. ...

Isambard also brings courtesan Benedetta along with him as mistress, although he is unaware that Benedetta bears a lifelong unrequited love for Harry. Harry makes a desperate choice to save a child ...

The Bruce Trilogy: A Superb Trilogy About Scotland's Greatest Hero (Coronet Books)

30 reviews
Nigel Tranter

Hodder Headline, 1985

Tranter is indeed the master storyteller!
The Bruce Trilogy is actually a set of three separate novels written by Tranter about Robert the Bruce of Scotland, and I think enough previous reviewers have stated the basic outline of the novels that I don't need to restate it again. This was a fascinating story of an honorable, courageous man and an incredible military tactician, and his battle for freedom and peace for Scotland from the ...
