Spiritwalk (Newford) 3 reviews Charles de Lint
Tor Books, 1993
An interesting new kind of fantasy
Spiritwalk is a sequel to Moonheart. I accidently read this book before Moonheart, but I have since corrected that error. It makes much more sense when you know who the characters are ;) I think that de Lint's writing is decent, and his stories are good. They are a different kind of ...

I'll Be Watching You (Key Books) 2 reviews Charles de Lint

Charles de Lint books
+ Charles De Lint
Amazon wants me to review this book. There's no point to that-- either you've already read de Lint and already know his books are fantastic, or you haven't read them... and if you haven't, get with it! You're missing out on incredible books.
My one suggestion would be, though, to do a little ...

Firebirds Rising: An Original Anthology of Science Fiction and Fantasy 9 reviews
Firebird, 2006
Appealing collection of YA SF and Fantasy
+ Original sci-fi stories + A Few Gems That Sparkle Among the Coal
Firebirds Rising is an engaging mix of SF and Fantasy stories aimed at a young adult audience, though quite enjoyable for adults as well.
Two of my favorites are Science Fiction: Carol Emshwiller's "Quill", an oddly old-fashioned, charming yet sad, story of an isolated family and their curious ...

The Valley of Thunder (Philip Jose Farmer's Dungeon, Book 3) 2 reviews Charles De Lint
Spectra, 1989
Excellent Series! A must read for true sci-fi fans!
+ Part of a good series
An excellent addition to the Dungeon series. This group of characters is unforgettable! The battles within the characters and the battles that they face as a team are awesome. Don't miss this series!

Jack of Kinrowan: Jack the Giant-Killer and Drink Down the Moon 13 reviews Charles de Lint
Tor Books, 1999
Funniest of Lint's books
+ More than just a fairy tale update + A real treat -
Although this isn't my favorite of Lint's books, it is definitely the funniest one I've ever read as his books aren't normally what you would call a comedy-crossover. Putting together two small books in one convienent cover, this is actually the one I've wished the most for a sequel to. It's a ...

Moonheart
+ My favorite author + FAN
I thought this book was excellent! It started off kind of slow. But after a while, especially the second half, I couldn't put it down until I finished it. There are a lot of characters to keep track of and some of the expressions that they make are sort of silly but I thought the overall story ...

Puffin, 2007
A Good Collection
I read the first collection, The Firebird, and feel in love all over again with Megan W. Turner and for this book, in addition to my already favorite authors, it introduced me to more of authors whose styles I like very much.
First of all is Ellen Klages, with 'In The House of the Seven ...

Philip Jose Farmer's The Dungeon 2 1 review Charles de Lint, Robin Wayne Baily
I Books, 2003
Good but shows the inevitable decline
Books 1 and 2 began excitingly, daringly. Surprisingly good pulp for a shared world consult. (Mr Farmer's commentary can be ignored as quite pompous in said volumes). Book 3 is ok, but kind of lacking is the continuity and liveliness. Robin Bailey pulls a strong recovery and book 4 is quite good. ...

Unparalled Magnificene...
+ An excellent, thoughtful read about our own world + Charming tale, good detail.. should have been longer
It may not be typical De Lint, yet it definetely is his work. A wonderful story which stretches all imagination. Don't let whatever misgivings you have about this being a science fiction story deter you from reading this. The first few pages may be a little slow-paced and bewildering, but you'll ...

Tor Books, 2004
Very enjoyable.
+ Oh, charles, I thought I knew you. . . . + spirits in the wire
I had a hard time deciding whether to give this 4 or 5 stars. It's probably a solid 4-1/2, for me. I would agree that this book was enjoyable largely because I'm already a Charles de Lint fan, and I'm familiar with most of the characters. While not my absolute favorite of his, I really enjoyed ...

Women read fantasy too. Beloved author/editor Marion Zimmer Bradley created this anthology in 1984 to address just that issue. At a time when women's fantasy was just beginning to make its mark, MZB created an anthology to define the emerging female protagonist. In her introduction, MZB makes it ...

Dreams Underfoot is the first book I ever read by Charles De Lint, and he became my favorite author half way through the text. Although I have read every other De Lint book or story I can find, and they are all simply breathtaking, (check out Memory and Dream!!) Dreams Underfoot has remained my ...

The Riddle of the Wren (Firebird) 21 reviews Charles de Lint
Puffin, 2002
De Lint's Real Books...Forget Newford!
+ Very good read. + The Power of Myth
I am sorry, De Lint...THIS is where your true talent lies. Newford, I am sorry, but your writing is terribly slang-ridden and well...immature. Riddle of the Wren is a beauty of a book, and I really believe that it deserves more fame than what is recieves. The Celtic themes are strong, the writing ...
