A Hidden Magic 16 reviews Vivian Vande Velde
Magic Carpet Books, 1997
"He had less kinky hair."
+ delightful + Cute Story
Honestly. "Kinky hair" says it all. I recommend this book for whenever there's a dull moment--in the car, on a plane, during a class lecture when the teacher isn't looking.
Not that I did that, of course.
"Hidden Magic" will delight anyone who likes light romance, good ol' clean magical fun, ...

The Thief 121 reviews Megan Whalen Turner
Eos, 2006
Well written mythology; better twist at the end
+ The Theif + READ THIS!!!!!!!!
Here's the deal: this is a realistic, well written fantasy with a logical, fully-fleshed world, including mythology. But the best part is the twist at the end.

Simon Pulse, 2002
Loved It!
+ An excellent take on young love and witchcraft + Grab this book before someone else does!
I read this book at least three times when I was in the eighth grade and I absolutly loved it! This book allowed me to fall into the story and forget about my own surroundings. As a fourteen-year-old girl, I felt as though the characters were real people and as though the story could actually ...

The Magicians' Guild (The Black Magician Trilogy, Book 1) 79 reviews Trudi Canavan
Eos, 2004
Good read
+ Ideal for the younger readers, although the old ones can appreciate it too + Enjoyable
This is a well written beginning to a new world for Canavan. It's definately not high fantasy, but it's a good read for someone looking for an escape, or for younger fantasy readers. The plot and characters are strong, if somewhat predictable.
This is a nice read from a new series. It gets a ...

Luck in the Shadows (Nightrunner, Vol. 1) 100 reviews Lynn Flewelling
Spectra, 1996
Luck in the shadows
+ Best for the characters + Is is possible to fall in love with a trilogy of books? Yes, I think.
Another great book from this author, it is really difficult to put it down and you find yourself not wanting it to end, great escapism and very well written. You really need to have the whole trilogy to hand though because once you finish this one you will, I gurantee start on No. 2.

awsome and enchanting
+ An interesting work of fantasy
this book was so amazing i couldnt put it down. Teachers yelled at me in class to stop reading it. You have love fighting and not your everyday migic story. Instead of just having mages and people with magical powers u have everyday people from an empire under attack trying to save their future. ...
