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.

About a world that passed away? No way!
Somebody commented that this book was about a world that had passed away, about Russian scientists of the 60's. I beg to disagree! That spirit is alive, now more than ever. I happen to be a computer programmer/researcher myself (just like the protagonist in the book), and the truth is, this is an archetypal book for most of us, the researcher's Bible, if you like. True, there is a lot of ...

Goblin War (Jig the Goblin)

Jim C. Hines

DAW, 2008

leaves me wishing for more ...
I heard that Hines is currently working on a new fantasy series. While I am looking forward for new work from this fresh, rising talent I do hope that he returns to Jig the Goblin someday. A friend recommended this trilogy to me just a month ago and I read all the books back to back. Hine's writing is a perfect blend of humor and fantasy - they match if not surpass the better books of Piers ...

The Heritage of Hastur (Darkover - Against the Terrans: The Second Age)

12 reviews
Marion Zimmer Bradley

DAW, 1977

One of the best of the Darkover novels.
Certainly exceptional at the time it was written; it is not one of the earliest written Darkover novels, but it was written much closer to the beginning than to the end of MZB's career, and it is at least as good as, and perhaps better than, many of the books that were written after she'd developed a great deal more experience and seasoning as a writer. It is one of the best "coming of age" ...

Deepwood: Karavans # 2

Deepwood
I thought it was fabulous! I'm so pleased to have given this series a try. The cover and storyline did not appeal to me, but the first in the series, Karavans, kept showing up in my recomendations list, so I buckled adn tried it. I have not regretted my decision in the least. Deepwood picks up right were Karavans leaves off. Rhuan and Audrun are trapped in Alisanos (a sort'of sentinent ...

The Law of Becoming (The Jaran, Book 4)

Check Kate's website
She plans on several more books in the Jaran series, but it doesn't sound like she'll be getting back to those until she finishes her sequel to _The Golden Key_ (which is an excellent book too, btw) which she'll do after she finishes "Crown of Stars". In other words, we've a long time to wait for more in this fantastic series.

Stormqueen! (Darkover, Age of Chaos: Bk. 2)

10 reviews
Marion Zimmer Bradley

DAW, 1978

Way too wild!
This was the first Darkover book I ever read, when I was about eleven. I found it fascinating but confusing. I didn't really appreciate it until after I had read The Forbidden Tower and The Bloody Sun. Even those these novels are set hundreds or even thousands of years after the Ages of Chaos in which Stormqueen is set, they give you the background necessary to understand what was going on in ...

Night's Master

11 reviews
Tanith Lee

DAW, 1978

Strong prose and a richly imagined world
Fantasy, ultimately, depends on description to carry it. The more alien the landscapes and psychologies an author wishes to describe, the more she must rely on her style and vocabulary to carry it off. -Night's Master- kicks off the Flat Earth series, about a richly imagined, glittering, world of cruel and proud daemons. What ultimately carries off the story of Azhrarn is Tanith Lee's strong ...

Thendara House (Darkover)

10 reviews
Marion Zimmer Bradley

DAW, 1983

a surprisingly complex story and one of Darkover's best
"Thendara House" is a sequel, of sorts, to the previous Darkover novel "The Shattered Chain." The reason I say "of sorts" is that Bradley has always intended for each Darkover novel to work as standalone novel. The events of "Thendara House" just happen to be set after those in "The Shattered Chain" and continue the story introduced in that novel. This is a novel of the Renunciates, an order ...

The Flesh, the Blood, and the Fire

9 reviews
S. A. Swiniarski

DAW, 1998

Crossing genres
This one will thrill mystery, history and horror buffs alike. Swiniarski creates characters, both human and undead, who are fascinating, realistic and dynamic. He also calls upon history to set a chilling background: the unsolved Cleveland Torso Murders, the media-frenzied career of Eliot Ness, and the mix of emotions surrounding the Depression and the world at war. The novel takes a look ...

Bloody Sun (Darkover)

9 reviews
Marion Zimmer Bradley

DAW, 1994

A marvelous novel of self-discovery and cultural evolution
Not only is The Bloody Sun a fantastic read on its own merits, it is also a pivotal book in Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover series, marking the transition of the planet Darkover from its zealous self-isolation from the Terran presence toward the growing spirit of cooperation that marks the Second Age. For generations, Darkover has consisted of seven domains loosely ruled by the Comyn, the ...

No Quarter (Daw Book Collectors)

10 reviews
Tanya Huff

DAW, 1996

Just amazing...
I love the character development and the changing relationships between the characters. Tanya Huff gives us a lot of action, suspense, and different forms of love: romantic, sibling-love, friendship, and love twisted by madness & bitterness. The writing is deep without being overtly philosophical. No Quarter is a fast-paced, edgy story about Gyhard, a man without a body of his own, sharing the ...
