Megan Whalen Turner
Puffin, 1998
In short, a perfect book
+ Well written mythology; better twist at the end
+ The Theif
Megan Whalen Turner is one of my favorite authors. She has been since my mom procured an Advance Reader Copy of The Queen of Attolia in 2000. I devoured that book, loving every minute of it. Years later, when I began my library career, I discovered that the book was second in a series, something I ...

Sharon Shinn
Ace, 1997
The first book to be written in the series-like all her novels it's pretty good
"Archangel" was the first to be written in Sharon Shinn's now famous Samaria series, in which a group of angels keep the peace on a planet that was populated by a God by using music to pray, ask for medicine and prove to the God that all are in harmony. This book shows the change of power from one ...

Truly mesmerizing
+ Great Book, Great Author
I've never been a big reader, in fact I read very little unless forced to by school. I was given this book for Christmas several years ago and, being bored one day, simply picked it up. I never thought it would be so engaging. Right from the start Kristen Britain captures you attention and keeps it ...

I began this book a few days before leaving for a beach vacation. I read it throughout a tropical storm. I read it at the beach and near the pool. I could NOT put it down. Like DAUGHTER OF THE FOREST, this novel captured me, heart & soul. (And I'm not ordinarily a fan of fantasy fiction.) I ...

It's been 400 years since the world of Pern has had to deal with deadly Threads falling from the sky to destroy whatever organic life they come into contact with.
