Silverthorn (Riftwar Saga, Volume 3) 64 reviews Raymond E. Feist
Spectra, 1986
The exciting sequel to Magician
+ A Worthy Continuation of 'Magician' + Not Free SF Reader
In many respects, Magician (now sold as two books) was a saga unto itself - the time span, events, war, political intrigue, and heck even the physical length of the book. Coming out with a next installment worthy of the first, must truly have been daunting for Feist.
However, with Silverthorn I ...

Magician: Apprentice (Riftwar Saga) 330 reviews Raymond Feist
Spectra, 1994
Sensitively and Intelligently written
+ Good + A nice start
This is not your typical fantasy series beginning. The major theme is quite unique in that magicians can open rifts between worlds. And this is where this story starts, with a rift opening and an invading army coming through.
About the Magic:
I tend to shy away from books that focus too much ...

Shadowmancer 164 reviews G. P. Taylor
Putnam Juvenile, 2004
I wish people would stop comparing everything to Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings
First off I want to say that if you were directed to this book because you like Harry Potter or The Lord of the Rings, You'll be disappointed and a little hacked. If I were forced, and I mean FORCED to draw a comparison, it would be to C.S. Lewis and Susan Cooper.This book resembles H.P. and LTR ...

At the Mountains of Madness: And Other Tales of Terror 50 reviews H. P. Lovecraft
Del Rey, 1991
Perfect story, Defective Book
I loved this book. For me, I was not really terrified, but I just love Myths and things like that, so I just kept on reading and loved every minute of it. However, I would find a different book that contains these stories because I was only half way through At the Mountains of Madness when the ...

Black House 426 reviews Stephen King, Peter Straub
Ballantine Books, 2002
More Innovative Than The Talisman
+ So far, so good. + In my top five novels of all time...
The talisman is quite a great book I must say, but in my opinion, I think this book tramples over the talisman. Why? Because it's not subjected to so much of the fantasy aspect like the talisman was. Also, Black House has a much better method of showing off characters and I believe they are ...
