The Book of Paradox, by Louise Cooper

The Book of Paradox has everything: philosophy, mystery, fantasy, romance, horror, occult, interesting and believable characters, beautiful places, and emotionally charged scenes. Read the full review by Suzanne Patten.

This trilogy takes place on Erna, a planet colonized as a last resort due to the natural magic force called the fae. Erna is doomed to be taken over by a demon unless Damien, the goody-two-shoes priest, and Gerald Tarrant, the planet's biggest bad guy, can figure out how to stop the enslavement of the human race.

For an author whose books are usually categorized as Sci-Fi, most of Sheri S. Tepper's works make a pretty good fantasy read. The Family Tree is her best book yet, beginning with a formulaic quest plot and breaking the bounds with some very surprising plot twists. Read the full review by Catherine George.

A really funny fantasy, that while following the most clichéd of story ideas, still manages to have great characters and a lot of fun action. Read the full review by Cate George.

A Game of Thrones is intricate, gripping and original, featuring memorable characters and a rich, assured writing style. Read the full review by Tane Aikman.

Imajica is a huge fantasy novel that does not bow down to any cliches. It is mysterious, beautiful and distressing by turns. But it has the ability to make you see things differently when you are finished with it. Read the full review by Cory L. Williams.

This is the sequel to Sharon Shinn's wonderful Archangel, and it explains all the things that were left out in the original, such as who (what?) the god Jovah truly is. Read the full review by Catherine George.

Despite some captivating plotlines and imaginative situations, the author hasn't lavished enough time or care on most of her characters to make the reader care about them. It's still a worthwhile read, and most of the problems with the book can be blamed on the fact that this is the author's first fantasy story. Read the full review by Catherine George.

This is actually a collection of short stories that are all somehow linked to a poem called "Lammas Night" by Mercedes Lackey. It starts to get a bit repetitive after the first few stories, but a few quirks and twists make some of the stories gems among the stones. Read the full review by Catherine George.

The Tale of Dorrin, the young blacksmith from order-bound Recluce, cast away because of his desire to build machines. I give him a rose for effort. Read the full review by A.G..

Prince of Dogs is much better than the first book in the series, King's Dragon. I took my time reading the first novel, but I chose to stay up one night to read this one all at once. Unfortunately, it still has some of the same problems that the first novel did. Read the full review by Catherine George.

Passion, power, love, greed, music, friendship ... they all have a place in one of the most beautifully written books I've ever read. Read the full review by Cate George.

This sequel to The Golden Compass is better than the first book, which was pretty much perfect. The Subtle Knife is probably worth more than five roses; it's that good. This book goes into details that the other book hadn't advanced yet, like the nature of Dust and what exactly Lyra's role in everything is. Read the full review by Catherine George.
