Rating: 5.0 Roses 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.
Rating: 4.5 Roses The Coldfire Trilogy, by C.S. Friedman
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. Read the full review by Michaela Gauthier.
Rating: 5.0 Roses The Family Tree, by Sheri S. Tepper
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.
Rating: 5.0 Roses A Game of Thrones, by George R.R. Martin
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.
Rating: 5.0 Roses Imajica, by Clive Barker
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.
Rating: 4.5 Roses 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.
Rating: 5.0 Roses The Subtle Knife, by Philip Pullman
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.
