Watch out for this one, it's gonna make you late to work

Mckiernan will take your mind, heart, and soul and guide them through the journey of two kind-hearted warrows fighting for all that is good in the great war. I'm sure, like I did, you'll fall in love with this duology. I wasn't sure, at first, I would like this book so I simply told myself I'd give it a chance and read the first couple pages. Now, two months later I have read and finished these two books and I now own about ten other books by Mckiernan and I want to read them all so much, but, at the same time I dread every turn of every page because I know that it's just one less page of the magestic land of mithgar I have left to read.

It's all connected, you know.

McKiernan's creative genius shows again with the conclusion to this magnificent tale of the Great War of the Ban. His many stories from the world of Mithgar are stunningly drawn together in this long awaited book. When I first read the Iron tower trilogy many years ago, I was hooked; since then I've managed to buy all of the stories from Mithgar. The events of Into the Fire have been alluded to in all of his works, and finally the whole of his work is brought together in this one book. The events that were only hinted at before now become clear, explaining much of the history of his world. The characters once again become people, become real in a way that far too many writers cannot accomplish. The story is as good as ever, the places as wonderous. McKiernan truly is a master of the fantasy epic.

Great Twists

Dennis McKiernan has never disappointed over the years as I have kept up with his books from the beginning. Into the Fire does not disappoint. This tale envelopes the reader and carries them through the journey with the characters. Lots of suspense right up to the very end. This duology is a must read for any Tolkien fanatic.

Become a McKiernan Reader....

ALong with his first book in this series, he has once again been able to take my mind and transport it into a new world. The characters are believable and make you wish that you could be there, fighting right next to them. All of his books are this way, if you love a great story to get away from your boring life. Jump into any of his wonderful books, the world of Mithgar awaits.

Loved it.

I cannot express the sheer joy that Denis books bring me. Yes, there is a mulitude of fantasy out there, and each can be unique. What I find appealing bout McKiernan's books that I feel a true sense of 'home' to his books. I truly love going back to the wonderful world he has created. The previous reviewer said he felt McKiernan has sold out by spreading this tale over two books. Hardly. Sold out, never. Authors such as Goodkind and Jordan are more of a sell out by spreading there tales over countless novels. No, this tale is amazing.
