Books| Category | Title | Author | Rating | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fantasy | A Fire Upon the Deep | Scott Rosenberg |
|
This is one of those novels that propels science fiction as a genre to the top of the literary heap. |
| Fantasy | Anvil of the World | Kage Baker |
|
One cannot help but compare this book to the Discworld series, but this is far from copycat material. |
| Fantasy | The Silmarillion | J.R.R. Tolkien |
|
This is Tolkien's true masterwork, to my mind, but it should not be read until after you've completed Lord of the Rings. |
| Fantasy | The Phoenix Guards | Steven Brust |
|
The same fantasy world found in the Vlad Taltos books is shown from a very different perspective. |
| Fantasy | Black Sun Rising | C.S. Friedman |
|
Truly unique fantasy with a bit of Anne Rice gothic flair. |
| Fantasy | Lord of the Rings | J.R.R. Tolkien |
|
Ok, I admit it: now that LoTR has penetrated the popular consciousness, it's not as special to me as it once was. |
| Fantasy | The Renshai Trilogy | Mickey Zucker Reichert |
|
Drawing heavily on Norse mythology and culture, these three novels are Reichert's best works to date. |
| Fantasy | Paladin of Souls | Lois McMaster Bujold |
|
A bit of spin on the typical fantasy tale. |
| Fantasy | Lord of Castle Black | Steven Brust |
|
The series is winding down. |
| Fantasy | The Legend of NIghtfall | Mickey Zucker Reichert |
|
Nightfall is a master of stealth, swordplay, and possesses an innate magic ability. |
| Fantasy | The Renshai Chronicles | Mickey Zucker Reichert |
|
Set 500 years after the original Renshai trilogy, the next three books are a severe disappointment. |
