Customer Reviews

Guradians of the Flame Series

Algernon is my kind of hero. Sweet, sensitive, funny yet sassy. Old enough to know better, but young enough not to care. The best best part is he eats your enemies!

A great ending...

A 3 book series that is well worth the read. Clever and well written. A little dated but hey, what can you do? Anyone interested in the Sci-Fi Fantasy genre should invest in these books. I went to the author's web page and mailed my copies to him, now I have signed copies! Hooray for me!

The finale

This is the third of the trilogy, but not end of the series itself. It fleshes out the characters and is very graphic at times. I wish someone would reprint all three in a nice trade paperback. They are not huge Jordanish novels and could easily fit in a nice trade. I consider them classics of fantasy.

On the edge of a sword

Karl fights to free slaves and to destroy the slave guild. This is a good book especially if you like alot of fighting scenes with pretty graphic descriptions on how people are being killed than this is the book for you!

Can he do no wrong?

Joel Rosenberg has cemented his status in the fantasy-fiction world with his third installment of the Guardians of the Flame Series. The title in itself is prophetic, and to have Karl leading the region is somnething no one could have expected. As I said earlier in another review, Mr. Rosenberg does not mince when it comes to the question of likeable characters getting hurt seriously or killed off. There were many times in this book that I was upset about what happened to a favorite character, but I realize that Mr. Rosenberg is putting as much "reality" in it as possible. Characters do NOT live forever, and yes, sometimes the favorite ones get killed.Once again, Mr. Rosenberg has outdone the preceeding edition, and I am sure that he will continue to do so.
