Blackmantle, by Patricia Kennealy-Morrison
Blackmantle, Patricia Kennealy-Morrison's seventh book, is an autobiographical fantasy whose subject is the great love of her life, Jim Morrison of The Doors. Though Blackmantle has its merits, in trying to be both a fantasy and an autobiography it fails to completely satisfy either form. Read the full review by Sara Lipowitz.
Death of an Adept, by Katherine Kurtz and Deborah Turner Harris
It hurts to watch icons topple. Death of an Adept lacks the grace and charm of its predecessors in this series. I am terribly disappointed with this novel, especially as I had anxiously awaited its arrival (Warning--this review is very long, as I plan to discuss its problems in depth.) Read the full review by Becky Parkhurst.
The Drawing of the Three, by Stephen King
Building on a solid first book in this series, Stephen King starts to hit his stride with this one. The gunslinger, who is now seriously injured by an encounter with a "lobstrosity," missing fingers from his right hand, and lethally infected, begins his poisoned and feverish way along the beach he has reached toward the dark tower. Along the way he collects a band of interesting companions to accompany him on his quest. Read the full review by Greg Ferrar.
The Gunslinger, by Stephen King
Stephen King's The Gunslinger weaves traditional fantasy elements (wizards, magic, strange creatures, doors between worlds) into a story that is perfectly at home on the fantasy shelf. All in all, it is a fine beginning to a promising series. Read the full review by Greg Ferrar.
A Song for Arbonne, by Guy Gavriel Kay
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.
The Waste Lands, by Stephen King
Stephen King continues to outdo himself in this series. From an intriguing but somewhat uninspired start, he has built an epic story worthy of a master. With a gripping plot line and excellent character development, The Waste Lands is the best so far in an excellent series. Read the full review by Greg Ferrar.
Wizard and Glass, by Stephen King
Those who believe that great literature is in the past have not read King at his best-- this is a novel to be compared with Wuthering Heights and A Tale of Two Cities.
