Pretty good
Honestly, the first time I picked up this book, I read the prologue, and the first 2 or 3 chapters and threw it back on my bookshelf. It sounded great at the bookstore, but I just couldnt get into it. I think I was just looking for something different at that time. Anyway, with Harry Potter...

Brilliant!!
This serie is great. A new brilliant writer has arrived. The story is complelling and hooks you from the first page to the end. I have read the first two books and can't wait for the other four.It's worth every penny!!

Riveting
I have read all the negative reviews, and y'all need to get a life. This book is cool, the best fantasy I have read in a long time.So, yeah, it is a bit derivative (Eddings, Donaldson, etc.). Yeah it has open homosexuality. Yeah it is kind of violent. At least there's no swearing, no drugs.But...

The best series I've read since Earth-sea
This is the second best series i've ever read. The first being the wizard of earth-sea by ursula leguin. The characters are real and evolve with the series. I read one after another and bought the few I didnt have ahead of time so I wouldnt have a gap in between. I usually drift from book to...

Thoroughly Enjoyable
When I read fantasy I want to be compleatly drawn in. If the story starts to drag it does not get long to redeem itself before I'm done with the book. Luckily, that was never the case in Beyond the Pale. Anthony captured me in first with his lyrical prose and then with his two main characters...

Not bad, Not Great
Good series overall, but begins to get off track with the gay love thing.

So-So
This is my first attempt at fantasy/fiction. I usually read mystery/suspense and horror. After reading the back of this book, I found myself ordering the whole series (6), and I'm not sure that was a wise move. I am going to have a positive attitude and reserve any harsh judgement until after...

Brilliant start to a new series.
This was bought as a gift for me and what a prezzie it turned out to be. This first book in the 'Last Rune' series starts in a backwater town in Colorado where Travis Wilder runs a bar. Everything in his life is humdrum and normal but that is about to change with the arrival of a strange...

Better than I could possibly have hoped...
Usually when I start reading a fantasy novel where the protagonists are Earth to Fantasy World transplants I expect things to go from cliched to trite to too terrible to read another volume...ie The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant for example - though I stomached both series of him out of an...

Surprisingly good
I have to admit that I wasn't really expecting much from this book. The blurb on the back cover was what prompted me to buy it in the first place; I'm a sucker for good "advertising" like that when it comes to fantasy novels.But, surprise! I opened to the prologue, with the unlikely title of...
