Tor Fantasy, 2001
The Prophecy takes hold...
Prophecy is the second installment in the New York Times and World Wide Bestselling series The Symphony of Ages. While Rhapsody was a decent start of the series, Prophecy picks up where Rhapsody left off with a few "dreamy," scenes that reveal more of our fellow characters.
Rhapsody sets off to return a dragon claw that was found in Ylorc, while Achmed and Grunthor travel down beyond Ylorc and ...

The Thief Queen's Daughter (The Lost Journals of Ven Polypheme) 5 reviews
Elizabeth Haydon
Starscape, 2008
Even better than the first, if that's possible
I loved the Floating Island. It was one of the best books of any genre that I have read in a long time, and reminded me of my favorite childhood tomes, with the right amount of magic and adventure, and probably the most likable hero I've encountered. Second books are usually very disappointing, especially when the first is as amazing as that one was, so I was shocked and delighted to discover ...

Legends II: New Short Novels by the Masters of Modern Fantasy 17 reviews
Del Rey, 2003
Going back for more
Both Legends I and II are must haves for any SF/Fantasy fan. I orginally purchased Legends I for Robert Jordan's and Tad William's short stories. I then promptly put it up on my shelf for a few years. I picked up Legends II for the Robin Hobb short. I then also filed it on my shelf. Somehow I have made it through tons of fantasy while dodging some of the most "advertised" names. I recently ...

Elegy for a Lost Star (The Symphony of Ages) 22 reviews
Elizabeth Haydon
Tor Books, 2005
The Calm Before the Storm...
Elegy for a Lost Star is, perhaps, one of the most gripping and breathe-taking book of the series. Once again, we have Achmed and Grunthor coming closer and closer to completing Ylorc, and Rhapsody being pregnant with Meridion. Ashe, Anborn, Gwydion and Llauron are there as well in all there glory. And Anwyn just won't die...
This book caused me to double-take on my favorite character, Achmed ...

Symphony of Ages
This is a fantastic trilogy. It has the complexity of Lord of the Rings with the humor of Star Wars. I greatly enjoyed it.

loved it!
I absolutely loved this book! I usually read all my kids books before they read them and this is one I will highly recommend that they read.
The only question I have about the book is, why is there a dragon on the front when there is no dragon in the book?

Tor Fantasy, 2007
"The Assassin King" was the best yet in 'The Symphony of Ages' saga
I received this book as a Christmas gift, started reading it December 31st, and finished it yesterday (Jan-6). I never read that fast - which tells you what a page turner this book is. I would recommend reading Ms. Haydon's other installments in "The Symphony of Ages" series first - and stick with it. Her plots can be convuluted at times, but the adventure and the relationship between the 3 ...
