High Wizardry (digest): The Third Book in the Young Wizards Series 52 reviews Diane Duane
Magic Carpet Books, 2003
Diane Duane
+ Another great read + great book
The first in this series than moves outside Diane Duane's familiar home ground-- it moves far outside that ground (beyond the red-shift limit of the universe.) More importantly, it is a great book about being sisters, about the border of friendship and romance, and about finding one's place in the ...

Juniper, Gentian, And Rosemary 34 reviews Pamela Dean
Tor Books, 1999
A rite of passage.
+ Fascinating - leaves one wondering + Has its moments
This is a terrible book that I have read four times. Some books seem to have a character that are not quantifiable by the credibility of their plot or the fickle nature of their characters. Although dealing with fantasy this story is not in essence fantastic. The warmth of friendship, both within ...

Moonlight 3 reviews Susan Dexter
Borgo Press, 2001
Wonderful Prequel to a great trilogy!
+ My favorite author seeks a younger audience + magical!
I have read all of Susan Dexter's Esdragon books, so it was thrilling to find this prequel to the Ring of Allaire. Moonlight is a tale of a much younger Tristan, a bumbling apprentice wizard for whom nothing ever seems to go right. This Tale has many little touches which tie it in with the ...

Tam Lin 105 reviews Pamela Dean
Puffin, 2006
Possibly my favorite book ever.
+ all time favorite book of a lifetime
This is probably my favorite book. It is in fact the second time I have read it, but it's still amazingly awesome. It's a retelling of the Tam Lin ballads from Scotland, set in a college in the 1970's and populated by incredibly bright people who quote Shakespeare and Keats in regular conversation ...

Spider-Man: The Venom Factor 23 reviews Diane Duane
Berkley, 1995
She knows her spider-man
+ Classic Spidey..... well almost + A Venomous Web is Slung!
I have been a Spiderman comic collector for some time now. I normally don't read novels based on comic characters because they usually mess up. Not in this case. Duane really knows her spider-man and proves it with this book (first in a trilogy).
