Eragon (Inhertitance) 105 reviews
Christopher Paolini
Laurel Leaf, 2007
A exellent book, what's with all the bad reviews?
+ Stephani
+ Very Engaging!
Unlike other people, I saw the movie before I read the book. People talked to me about it, but I thought it was a depressing book series with the last dragon on earth in it.
But after seeing the movie and learning I had been mistaken in this viewpoint, I got the book from the library and am now ...

Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell: A Novel 728 reviews
Susanna Clarke, 2004
Instant Classic
+ Wonderfully Clever Book
+ The Line Between the Mystical and the Physical
This evocative tale of English magicians who become associates and eventual rivals/enemies is one of the most impressive literary debut-novels in any genre, ever. Every atmospheric detail is rich and crucial; there is nothing that is not essential to this mesmerizing, often frightening tale. ...

Chris Claremont
Spectra, 1998
I don't care what others say...
+ A delight for all ages
+ Now we get going...
I've heard and read quite a few reviews saying that these books were not good. It's a lie! Sure I'm only 11, but I personally think that these books are a wonderful challenge. The way they are written is good, and Elora is a great heroin. I'm almost done with the second book, and by now I fully ...

The Black Jewels Trilogy Review
+ An Unforgettable Trilogy! I Loved It!
+ Great read!
This was an amazing series filled with realistic, characters that had real flaws. The fantasy world created within these pages is filled with it's own political battles for power, familial ties and a love that tries to transcend time. In this world, women have the final say, and the men that love ...

Child of the Prophecy (The Sevenwaters Trilogy, Book 3)70 reviews
Juliet Marillier
Tor Books, 2003
Perhaps the Best of the Trilogy--certainly the most ambiguous and complex!
+ Gorgeous!
+ Enchanting.
I always find ranking the books in this trilogy hard, as they're all so good--usually it comes between the enchanting fairy-tale-like first book, Daughter of the Forest, and this one however (I like the second one as well, but it just didn't grip me quite as much as the others, and Liadan is my ...

Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, Book 3)1006 reviews
Stephenie Meyer
Little, Brown Young Readers, 2007
Breathtaking
+ Friends of opposite genders
+ Twilight Series
Stephenie Meyer has captured a whole new audience. It's an affront to say this is "teen material". I've read so many things that are so complex for complexities sake and you really tire of that. This has absolute balance, breathtaking romance - love anyone would love to live (or die for). The ...

+ Interesting conclusion to a fascinating trilogy.
+ A Great and Sad Beauty
I love this series and the last book is no exception. It is quite long but I was glad for the extra pages as I wanted to spend as much time as possible in this fictitious world. I am a sucker for happy endings so I was upset to hear that perhaps this wasn't going to be a fairy tale ending. I ...

The Forest House (The Mists of Avalon: Prequel)105 reviews
Marion Zimmer Bradley
Roc Trade, 1995
Prequel? Really?
+ Second Book in the Avalon Series
While I knew that Marion Zimmer Bradley also wrote the famous (and yet still unread by this reviewer) "Mists of Avalon", I was pretty sure that this book was a standalone when I read it. And it certainly felt like one! Good to know I picked a "prequel" and not a sequel.
"The Forest House" is a ...

Anne of Avonlea
Lucy Maud Montgomery
BiblioBazaar, 2007
But an August afternoon with blue hazes scarfing the harvest slopes little winds whispering elfishly in the poplars and a dancing slendor of red poppies outflaming against the dark coppice of young firs in a corner of the cherry orchard was fitter for dreams than dead languages.
