Customer Reviews

entertaining

This is good old plain adventure-soaked fantasy. We have an easy, proficient plot, simple (very simple) characterization, easy partition between good and evil (there are attempts at faceting but they are stereotypical). Probably not the best fiction you shall read in your life but nonetheless a good satisfying read, perfect for a rainy afternoon. Better this honest entertainment than futile attempts at originality not supported by an artist's skills. A word about the supposed slash content: I picked this book up because I thought it had gay content. It has not, at least not in this first volume. I will read the other two and let you know.

A Book to Return To

I was given a copy of this book shortly after it was released in 1993, and I loved it. I am just now (8/5/00) reading it for the third time, and it is as enjoyable now as it was the first two times. As in all heroic fantasy, the climax of the story is readily obvious, but the plot twists involved will keep you guessing about the details. The character development is very good; I can see the brothers Podlowsky in a number of my friends (or is it the other way around?).

E X C E L L E N T !!!!

This is a tale of two Brothers from our world who are transported to a land of magical wonders and dangers, both are skilled martial artists, and survivalists with a range of skills that will save their lives and others that they meet in the strange land of Palenoc. If you like action, dragons and all manner of beasties and ghosts, both evil and not so evil, then this book is for you, pure enjoyment is what Id call it, full of well rounded characters, just the right hint of mystery, and of course its got martial arts, (gotta love that!!!} which means a lot of A-- kicking!!! (A movie please!!!!} So I do hope you sit down and curl up with a cup of something and enjoy the next few hours, you wont regret it.
