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.
Deerskin, by Robin McKinley
The fantasy genre has traditionally been devoted to sagas of ancient royal families, whose members possess an innate nobility that allows them to overcome evil. Princess Lissla Lissar, however, must find the courage to flee the evil within her own family and build a meaningful life for herself. Read the full review by Sara Lipowitz.
The Dragon and the Unicorn, by A.A. Attanasio
Author A.A. Attanasio has been described as "using the dictionary as a launching pad." Fitting, since I found it necessary to launch The Dragon and the Unicorn across the room shortly after starting it. Read the full review by Sara Lipowitz.
Dragon Prince, by Melanie Rawn
A perfect beginning to a great series, Dragon Prince never seems to sit long enough on my shelf to gather much dust. It keeps me coming back with its passionate portrayal of romantic love and hate, political intrigue, unique system of magic, well-drawn characters, and gorgeous descriptions.
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.
