The Cage

Author	S.M. Stirling
ISBN	0671720473

Many years ago I found this book at a flea market and the cover instantly caught my interest. I was dubious as to quality, I mean, the cover is rather cheesy, but I love fantasy, and the idea of a lesbian hero to my then teenage self proved irresistible.

This is one of the few books I've read that has...

The Compleat Enchanter

Author	L. Sprague de Camp
ISBN	0345314352

The Mathematics of Magic was probably the greatest discovery of the ages - at least Professor Harold Shea thought so. With the proper equations, he could instantly transport himself back in time to all the wondrous lands of ancient legend. But slips in time were a hazard, and Shea's magic did not always...

Xanth: The Quest for Magic

Robert Asprin's Myth-Quoted

Author	Jody Lynn Nye
ISBN	0425257010

A CAMPAIGN OF MYTH-INFORMATION

Since it was founded, M.Y.T.H. Inc. has dealt with all manner of vile and evil creatures. But not even a magician of Skeeve’s caliber is prepared to face the most duplicitous monsters of all: politicians. Emo Weavil and his cousin Wilmer Weavil-Scuttil have...

The Wizardry Consulted

Author	Rick Cook
ISBN	0671877003

An ancient and very powerful dragon made a proposition to Wiz which cannot be refused: save people who live close to dragon lands from dragons, or face a destruction of the capital of northern wizards. What is more, Wiz cannot use any outside help. It also seems people he is supposed to help do not care about...

The Lost Swords: The Second Triad

Author	Fred Saberhagen
ISBN	1568650124

This is an omnibus, so I'm going to review the individual books as I go.

Farslayer's Story:

Farslayer's is a Romeo and Juliet, or maybe Hatfield and McCoy story. Farslayer, of course, is the sword that will fly off and kill anyone you care to name. The problem arises when the victim's...

The Sword of Truth Gift Set

Author	Terry Goodkind
ISBN	0312875037

The first two books in this series were great, as was Faith of the Fallen, book six. Books 3-5 were mediocre in plot and impact, and everything after Faith of the Fallen, books 7-end, were absolutely horrendous, and showed just what a terrible thing it can be for someone to take Ayn Rand too seriously. While...

Her Majesty's Wizard

Author	Christopher Stasheff
ISBN	0345274563

I had truly loved this book when I was younger, and forgotten both the author and title, and in fact everything about it except that it was a fantasy book in which magic works by poetry (a concept I still believe to be excellent). Unfortunately, little besides the concept has stood the test, not of time,...

The Moment of the Magician

Author	Alan Dean Foster
ISBN	5555661347

The series is beginning to drag
4 February 2012

I guess the Spellsinger series are beginning to drag on by this time. As I mentioned previously, one of the main reasons that I continued reading them was because I wanted to see if Talea would return, but I guess by the time I reached this book...

Apocrypha Now

Author	Mark Russell
ISBN	1603093699

This is the sequel to the incredibly fun God is Disappointed in You. While God is Disappointed in You was an abridged journey through the bible Apocrypha Now tackles the bits of religious text that got cut from the likes of the Midrash, the Apocrypha, Gnostic Gospels, and more!

As with the first...

The Sword and the Chain

Author	Joel Rosenberg
ISBN	0451453514

WARRIOR, WIZARD, DWARF, THIEF, AND MASTER BUILDER
All of them had chosen this world as their destiny, a realm where dragons were only too real and magic, not science, was the law of the land. Karl, Andrea, Ahira, Walter, and Lou knew there was no going back to twentieth-century America now. Instead...
