To start out with, the work is well written and conveys a dark and mystical mood in a forest setting. Also the plot of Mythago Wood is anything but formulaic; nevertheless, the ...             The Martian Chronicles (The Grand Master Editions)315 reviews Ray Bradbury Spectra, 1984 Timeless! + Youthful Perspective + Classic Bradbury I first heard about "The Martian Chronicles" when I read Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" a number of years ago. Back then, I was under the impression that the "Chronicles" was actually a series of books, or at least a very long book. This is not so. The "Chronicles" is a fairly brief collection of ...             The Fire Dragon (Dragon Mage, Book 3)16 reviews Katharine Kerr Spectra, 2001 Kerr is one of the Best + Another Wonderful Book + What finally happened with the curse tablet + Splendid language, uneven characters + ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OUT THERE!             Daggerspell (Deverry Series, Book One)55 reviews Katharine Kerr Spectra, 1993 If you don't read this series in this life, it will haunt you in the next! + epic of epics + Great + First of the Ten (currently) available             Days of Blood and Fire (Deverry)5 reviews Katharine Kerr Spectra, 1994 Quite entertaining + Sixth in the Ten Book (currently) Series + Good, even without the background + Book Seven of an Outstanding Series + This book is worth every cent.             The Gold Falcon (The Silver Wyrm, Book 1)7 reviews Katharine Kerr DAW Hardcover, 2006 truly ineffable... + Deverrey continues, but without lots of intrigue-ful baggage + Great start to the end of a great series! Let's hope we don't have to wait a very long time for the continuation of this series! As with every time I pick up a Katharine Kerr book, I can't put it down. I stay up late at night fighting the sleep dweomer and end up late for work! It's well worth it! If I had dweomer powers I would hurry ...             The Illustrated Man (Grand Master Editions)208 reviews Ray Bradbury Spectra, 1983 The Illustrated Man is a MUST READ + Classic collection by the legendary Bradbury + A good intro to the genre + That uncanny way--"Illustrating" in brutal honesty of humans             First Rider's Call (Green Rider, Book 2)82 reviews Kristen Britain DAW Hardcover, 2003 Continued enjoyment + A solid middle book + Strong fantasty, bittersweet I liked First Rider's Call as much as I liked Green Rider. There is adventure, magic, intrigue and wit all written wonderfully into this story. I think that Britain is very talented to be able to use typical magic, but weave it into a book that isn't like anything else you have ever read. ...             The Dragon Revenant (Deverry Series, Book Four)6 reviews Katharine Kerr Spectra, 1991 Fourth of the Ten (currently) in the Series + Act I draws to a close + as good as the previous volumes` + A good all around fantasy             The Bristling Wood (Deverry Series, Book Three)14 reviews Katharine Kerr Spectra, 1990 a time to avert war, and a time to fight a war to the finish + Exciting adventures in any century! + One of my favorite fantasy series + Third of the Ten (currently) in the Series             The Fall of Hyperion128 reviews Dan Simmons Spectra, 1991 I like it more than the first + A LITERARY MASTERPIECE + Descent into chaos Maybe since it goes back to a more usual structure, I was able to follow the story about the fall of humanity, the search for God and the fate of the Pilgrims. Again, Simmons shines as he shows he can blend cyberpunk, space battles, politics, literary apocrypha, poetry, philosophy and more into one ...             Endymion118 reviews Dan Simmons Spectra, 1996 Entertaining + Underrated continuation of the Hyperion epic + A wonderful read and worthy follow-up + Wonderful             Ilium179 reviews Dan Simmons HarperTorch, 2005 Greek myth, space opera style + Excellent Page Turner + a story in three parts I'd like to say that Dan Simmons is one of the best pure writers in science fiction, but that would pigeonhole him into a genre. In fact, he's also written his share of mysteries, horror stories and even a couple non-genre works. The last book I read by him, The Terror, can be described as a ...             Ancient Echoes6 reviews Robert Holdstock Roc, 1997 Jungian and Archeological fiction + Exellent writing... This is an excellent and highly complex book. Anyone familiar with Jungian Psychology, Paganism and ancient mediterranean archaeology and history, will find this a fascinating read!

I believe I own every one now. The Hollowing is my favorite, even more so than Mythago Wood. Even though these are both books in the "Mythago Cycle", you don't really need to read Mythago Wood first, but it helps. The Hollowing has such a lush, ...             The Red Wyvern (Dragon Mage, Book 1)20 reviews Katharine Kerr Spectra, 1998 Book Eight in the Series, and Still Going Strong + This book rules + a little complicated at first, but very good + The Red Wyvern             Freeze Frames4 reviews Katharine Kerr Tor Books, 1995 Intresting, original, and very, very strange! + wow... get it in print NOW This book is like no other book I have ever read. Its basically an account of all the strange things that happen to a family through out the successive generations. The book could be seen as a collection of successive inter-linked short stories. But the thing that makes this book so enjoyable is ...
