Latest Book Reviews and Comments
Morgawr is the third book of The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara. Morgawr is almost as dark and compelling as Antrax and it's written for adults. Morgawr contains the same science fiction elements, which were introduced in Antrax and they make this book interesting. I liked this book very much. If you enjoyed reading the two previous books, you should read Morgawr. You should also check out The High Druid of Shannara series (Jarka Ruus, Tanequil and Straken), which Terry Brooks wrote after this series.
Antrax is the second book of The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara. Antrax is an interesting combination of fantasy and science fiction. Terry Brooks uses some science fiction elements to create a different kind of Shannara book and it works quite well. Antrax is a good book and everybody, who likes Shannara books, should read it.
Ilse Witch is the first book of The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara. Ilse Witch is a bit different kind of Shannara book and it's clearly written for adults. I enjoyed reading Ilse Witch and found it interesting. This book isn't perfect, but it's worth reading.
The Talismans of Shannara is the fourth book of The Heritage of Shannara. The Talismans of Shannara is an entertaining fantasy book. It doesn't have much depth and it's a bit simple, but the story is interesting. If you liked the previous books, you should read this book.
The Elf Queen of Shannara is the third book of The Heritage of Shannara. In my opinion The Elf Queen of Shannara is one of the most enjoyable Shannara books. It's an entertaining fantasy book. There's not much depth, but that doesn't matter, because this book is good. I liked it.
The Druid of Shannara is the second book of The Heritage of Shannara. Many people like The Druid of Shannara and think that it's a good book. In my opinion The Druid of Shannara isn't as bad as the first book of this series, but it's not very good. It's entertaining and there are some good moments, but it's not as good as The Elf Queen of Shannara.
The Scions of Shannara is the first book of The Heritage of Shannara. In my opinion The Scions of Shannara is one of the weakest Shannara books. When you read it, it's easy to see that it's clearly the first part of The Heritage saga. This book is readable, but the other books in this series are much better. By the way, if you're familiar with the translations (the Finnish translations) and have read them, you should read The Sword of Shannara Trilogy before you begin to read this series. It's good to know what has happened earlier or you won't enjoy this series.
The Wishsong of Shannara is the third book of The Sword of Shannara Trilogy. The Wishsong of Shannara is an entertaining fantasy book, but it's not as good as the second book. When I read this book, it felt like I'd read the same story before and it was a bit annoying. Otherwise it was good fantasy.
The Elfstones of Shannara is the second book of The Sword of Shannara Trilogy. The Elfstones of Shannara is much more original and better than The Sword of Shannara. It's also more entertaining. I enjoyed reading this book and I'm sure that other people will also enjoy it.
The Sword of Shannara is a nice and entertaining fantasy book. Many people have often compared The Sword of Shannara to The Lord of the Rings, because they're similar books. The comparison is easy, but The Sword of Shannara is still different and it's the first part of one of the most popular fantasy series ever. If you like entertaining stories, you should read this book.
The First King of Shannara is a nice and entertaining fantasy book. I liked reading it. Although this book is entertaining, there's one very bad thing, which annoyed me - when I started to read this book, it felt like I was reading the same story again. The story isn't original and the reader knows what's going to happen before the book is over. That's why I'll give this book only two stars. By the way, this is not the first Shannara book and it should not be read before you've read The Sword of Shannara Trilogy and The Heritage of Shannara.
In my opinion The Citadel of the Autarch is a nice and fascinating book. It's the fourth part of The Book of the New Sun series. I like this series very much. All the books are interesting and worth reading, if you like Gene Wolfe's writing style. There are some people who don't like Gene Wolfe, but I like his books. If you've read the other parts and liked them, I can recommend this book to you.
The two previous books were good and so is this book. In my opinion The Sword of Lictor is among the best science fiction and fantasy books I've ever read. It's original and interesting. I can highly recommend this book to all fans of Gene Wolfe. It's definitely worth reading, if you like Wolfe's books.
The Claw of the Conciliator is the second book of The Book of the New Sun. Gene Wolfe is a brilliant writer and I like his books. The Claw of the Conciliator is as good as the first book and it's also written for adults. I enjoyed reading it. If you want to read well written and interesting books, you'll like this book.
Gene Wolfe's The Shadow of the Torturer is the first book of The Book of the New Sun. I enjoyed this book very much and I can highly recommend it to everybody, who wants to read a book, which has been written for adults. This book is a masterpiece and it's one of the best fantasy and science fiction books ever. If you haven't read The Shadow of the Torturer, you should read it. I'm sure that you'll enjoy it.
The Oracle's Queen is the third book of The Tamir Trilogy. Lynn Flewelling is in a league of her own and she proves it with The Oracle's Queen. The Oracle's Queen is one of the best fantasy books I've ever read. I loved this book just as much as I've loved the other books. If you want to read good high fantasy, I highly recommend this book. It's definitely worth reading.
The Hidden Warrior is the second book of The Tamir Trilogy. In my opinion Lynn Flewelling is one the best fantasy writers ever. Her books are well written and fascinating. The Hidden Warrior is just as fascinating and well written as her other books. I loved this book. This book contains everything I want from good high fantasy. It's a dark and compelling book. I highly recommend this book to all fantasy readers who want to read good fantasy.
The Bone Doll's Twin is the first book of The Tamir Trilogy. Lynn Flewelling has done it again - she's written a fascinating and dark book for adults. This is one of the best fantasy books I've read and I can highly recommend it to all fantasy readers. If you liked The Nightrunner books, you should read The Bone Doll's Twin. I'm sure you'll love it. :)
Wizardborn is a readable fantasy book, but it's not a perfect fantasy book. The biggest problem of this book is that if you're expecting to read epic high fantasy of excellent quality, you'll be disappointed. In my opinion Wizardborn is an interesting (and even enjoyable) fantasy book, if you're willing to overlook certain weaknesses. I can recommend this book to all readers, who like to read easy fantasy books.
In my opinion Brotherhood of the Wolf is better and more enjoyable than The Sum of All Men, which was readable, but not very good. I'm not saying that this book is great, but it's a readable fantasy book. Farland's writing style has become better, but he's not a perfect writer. The characters aren't as interesting as they could be and they're a bit shallow. I can recommend Brotherhood of the Wolf to all readers, who are just beginning to read epic fantasy, because this book is easy to read.
David Farland's The Sum of All Men is the first book of the long running The Runelords saga. I know that this book is anything but perfect, but it was nice to read a bit different kind of epic fantasy for a change. The world and the plot is interesting, but the writing is a bit weak and it's easy to see that Farland isn't used to writing high fantasy. The Sum of All Men is a readable (but not enjoyable) fantasy book and the events move forward with a fast pace. In my opinion Farland could've spent more time writing about the world and the characters, because it seemed to me that he hadn't thought about certain things at all.
Robert Newcomb's The Fifth Sorceress is an interesting and good fantasy book. I bought this book a couple of years ago and read it during the Christmas holiday. It was so interesting that I couldn't put it down. I can recommend The Fifth Sorceress to everybody who likes good fantasy stories.
Before I say anything about Nine Princes in Amber, I must mention that I've read The Great Book of Amber, which contains all the books from 1 to 10 (if you like Zelazny's series, you should buy this omnibus edition). In my opinion Nine Princes of Amber is a pretty good book. It's interesting, different and worth reading.
Belgarath the Sorcerer is an entertaining and funny fantasy book. This book tells about the life and deeds of Belgarath and how he became a powerful sorcerer. If you like The Belgariad and The Malloreon, you should read this book, because you'll enjoy it.
Silverthorn is the second book of The Riftwar Saga. In my opinion Silverthorn is clearly the best book of The Riftwar Saga. This book is a lot more fluent and more entertaining than the first book. If you're interested in a good story and fascinating characters, Silverthorn is a good book for you. I can highly recommend this book.
