| Author | Robert Lynn Asprin |
| ISBN | 0441805914 |
I read all Aspirin's MYTH series when I was a kid and was a big fan. I saw this in used bookstore and grabbed it to check out one of his more adult written books. Surprisingly good, my type of spec/fantasy book, packed with creative miniplots and ideas, not wordily written, sparse and minimalistic and then...

| Author | Dean Koontz |
| ISBN | 0425208435 |
I continue to be disenchanted with Dean Koontz. Although I liked this one better than the last one I read (Deeply Odd), it still fell short of the mark for me. My favorite thing in the book was the small portions written from the dog's point of view, they were fun and seemed right on the money. I also liked the...

With Stormbringer, Michael Moorcock brings a superior fantasy series to a to formally effective and emotionally satifying conclusion.

| Author | Peter Morwood |
| ISBN | 0712609318 |
I liked this book less than its prequel. (view spoiler)[It feels that anyone the main character meets on his way tends to be someone important for his mission, one way or another; even the ten-years ago deposed heiress to the land, hidden away in an obscure village lost in the biggest forest of the continent......
The Second Book of Swords
| Author | Fred Saberhagen |
| ISBN | 0812519345 |
I really enjoyed this book. It's like a heist movie but in an epic fantasy setting, and it's quite a refreshing change from all the newer fantasy novels that seem to follow the same basic formulaic plot.
The second book picks up the story five years later, and we get to follow Mark, Ben, and Barbara...
