The Troll's Grindstone (Wizard's War, #1)

Author	Elizabeth H. Boyer

"We are at war, and during wars, people die."

This is one of my all time favorite books and I have read it several times and wish someone would turn this onto movie.

It was the first of her books that I read. While waiting for the others to come out, I read her earlier works. Which were all fine...

Myth-ing Persons / Little Myth Marker

Author	Robert Lynn Asprin
ISBN	0441009530

Again this is two-books-in-one, which makes it a bit harder to review than otherwise. I also find that my reactions to them were very different. I had read them before, I think one time and certainly not more than twice, and remembered some of that, which had some impact on my appreciation. It is the fifth...

Riddle of the Seven Realms

Author

Lyndon Hardy

“Riddle of the Seven Realms” is author Lyndon Hardy’s third book in his 1980s “Magics” trilogy. I read the first book in the series, “Master of the Five Magics” not too long after it was initially released back in 1980. I then kind of forgot about it and didn’t even realize that the first...

The Sword of Calandra

Tristan does not imagine that his troubles are over. He stands reluctantly revealed as Calandra’s king--but his right is almost universally disputed, his castle has no walls, his wife is betrothed to a dead man, and his throne will kill him during his crowning unless he can lay hands on the long-lost...

The Warlock Enraged
