I’ve been looking for this character of a book I read in the late 80′s early 90′s. He was sort of like a Shamen/magic user warrior that one of his arms was changed into a reptilian arm. I thought his name of something like Micah Oba or something like that. I’ve been looking for this book for a long time. If you can help me with this book would be great. Thanks again for your time.

Hi Tavake, I’ve tried to unearth some information on this book but had no luck so far, I will continue digging…

Hi I’ve just read the Books of Pellinor by Alison Croggon and loved them, could anyone suggest another good book on the same lines as those with a great love story to it. I really need a book to read. Thanks.

Hi Tracey,

Ladyhawke by Joan D. Vinge is my favourite fantasy story that contains a magical love story – it is quite brilliant. The book was made into a film in 1985 and they did an OK job but the book (as is always the case) is far better. It is available only second hand nowadays – 1p from Amazon plus post and packing. If you like I could buy the book and send it down to you in return for a book review to go on the site? Let me know what you think (use contact@fantasybookreview.co.uk).

Best wishes,
Lee

Do you know the name of the author of ‘Pork’? What a great book!

Lee
January 13th, 2009

Hi Lindsay, thank you for your most interesting question. Pork was a book of short stories by an author called Cris Freddi – his website is http://www.crisfreddi.org/.

Pork is available used from Amazon.co.uk for as little as 1p – http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_w_h_?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=pork&x=0&y=0

I think it is definitely worth every penny.

I just wanted to point out that I reviewed your top 100 fantasy books. I have not read all of those of course, but surely “The Wheel of Time” series by Robert Jordan has got to be in there somewhere. Why is it not? And why is there so many ridiculous Harry Potter books in there?

If you have read my post before, then you know what I speak of when I detail on adult, sophisticated type, very detailed fantasy read. I am not interested in lame stories where everything conveniently happens at the perfect time. Ala “Dragons of the Autumn Twilight”. I realize that the series was written in the 80s’ now so it is forgiven. Please… any serious fantasy fanatic like me out there…. tell me.. do you not appreciate the detail, the realism even in a fantasy setting? The realistic pace and setting for each chapter and each character. Detail so deep that one could talk about the structure of a leaf for a whole chapter. The only series that even comes close to what I speak of is “The Wheel of Time”. I have tried other series and read other books and none has sparked this within me. This is the main reason why I question the judgment of Robert Jordan’s series not being in the top 100. There has got to be other adult readers out there like me who would agree. A party of eight cannot disappear through the forest so easily when surrounded by winged creatures posing as clerics looking for the exact staff that the party just so happen to possess. Does any serious fantasy fan out there not see where I am coming from? This is the main reason why I am spending a few years just creating my world. Then the writing begins. Details and believability is so important in a good read. Robert Jordan is the only real story teller that I know of, may he rest in peace. Sanderson…. you ass in on the line buddy.

Mahalo,
Ian

Lee
January 31st, 2009

Hi Ian,

You are absolutely right, the Robert Jordan books should be in there. Luckily, Josh Hill has read the entire series and is in the process of writing up the reviews.

Expect to see Mr Jordan’s books on the site very soon!

Best wishes,

Hello!
I came upon this website because a friend’s books are listed here, but I was devastated when I couldn’t find some of my favorite authors anywhere in your database. I understand that you can’t read everything all at once, so I suppose I’ll have to prioritize… The biggest gap, I’d say, is not including Anne McCafferey, creator of Pern and many other worlds. Her contributions to fantasy and science fiction are tremendous – please check her out and include her on your site!
Thanks,
-X

Lee
May 2nd, 2009

Hi Xenia,

She certainly is an author that does not feature on the site much at the moment but that will rectified in the not too distant future… We have the third book of The Twins of Petaybee (Deluge) to be reviewed and then hopefully we can get onto the rest of her work.

Best wishes,
Lee

Hi I’m looking for two sets of books I read at primary school in the eighties.

one was the ‘Bucaneer’ series and the other I can’t remember the series title but was a magical fantasy with the main characters being Toby, Tobias (the black cat), and Arun

sorry for lack of detail but google isn’t throwing up anything and I’m hoping someone here will remember.
I would love to see if they’ve stood the test of time.
regards,
Ammar.

Hello, I am looking for a book or a series of books based on Chinese mythology with or without fantasy or something set in ancient china. Can you recommend anything like this Thank you.

Lee
June 8th, 2010

Hi Jörgen, there are three books that I would highly recommend. Firstly, Guy Gavriel Kay’s wonderful Under Heaven – http://www.fantasybookreview.co.uk/Guy-Gavriel-Kay/Under-Heaven.html – is inspired by the Tang Dynasty of Ancient China and as beautiful and enriching a novel as you could possibly wish for. Secondly, there is Alison Goodman’s The Two Pearls of Wisdom – http://www.fantasybookreview.co.uk/Alison-Goodman/The-Two-Pearls-of-Wisdom.html – which is a spellbinding tale full to the brim with martial arts, political intrigue, ancient myth and mysticism. Lastly, there is Peter Ward’s Dragon Horse – http://www.fantasybookreview.co.uk/Peter-Ward/Dragon-Horse.html – which is educational, entertaining and leaves the reader wanting to know more about ancient China and the wonder that was The Silk Road.

I hope these recommendations help, I have read them all and found them to be excellent,
Lee

Hi,

I thoroughly enjoyed The Wheel of Time, all of the Robin Hobb books (especially the Farseer trilogy), The Dark Tower, Name of the Wind and A song of Fire and Ice. These are all my favourites but I am now really struggling to find a book series that I would enjoy as much as these. I’m worried I’ve read all the best and nothing else will satisfy. A friend suggested The Sword of Truth series but after about a third of the way into the book I just gave up because the writing skill seemed so much worse in comparison to the books I named above. I was wondering if anyone had a few High Fantasy recommendations, going on the books I’ve enjoyed so far?

The Collector
August 2nd, 2010

Hi Anonymous,

Have you had a look at The Collector of Tales? Its a different kind of fantasy. There are three problems though. a) It is only the first in what I know to be a series (the second is almost complete). b) The first book is a bit rooted in a real world (I do not say THE real world). c) You may not like it but if you don’t have a look you won’t find out. Have a look at the website www [dot] collector.dcpltd [dot] uk [dot] com for some extracts of the current book and the work in progress.

Hi there. I came upon this site looking for insight into The Black Company books. It is a fantastic read, I have to say but that is not the main reason I send this post. I am on the verge of completing my first fantasy novel. I have been writing it for going on 8 years. Let me tell you, it has been one long merciless journey. Though it will not be a instant classic I know that it can appeal to all who just give it a chance. It has yet to be published because, well I’m afraid of what anyone will say. “This has no style,” “Same book different title”, or the ever dreaded “This story sucks!” Hell, all I want is for just a few people to read it and say that it was a good read. Not that it was the greatest thing I’ve ever read (although that would be cool, even orgasmic) but at least appreciative of a story with potential. So I guess what I would like to know is if there is anyone interested in reading it?

I have read the Innocent Mage series (amazing books!!!!) but I can’t find anything as good as them. Everything I read at the moment is missing something that was there when I read those books. I really enjoy any story with a completely different culture and with less development technologically. I also loved Wolf Brother and the Lord of the Rings (well doesn’t everyone?) but other than those I need new books. Any ideas??? By the way, I am not that old… well quite young really, so nothing too grown up!

I really dig this site, and I don’t know why it hadn’t hit me before, but my god, why have I failed to suggest that the new collection of Jorge Luis Borges’ “Collected Fictions” that Penguin released be considered for review here??? If any of you are familiar with this author, he is THE GURU of the fantastical! A godfather of it, in fact. Should anyone get the chance, do indeed check out the stories in this collection. They’re mind-blowing to say the least. He is often credited with being the forerunner of flash fiction, too, because he often write very short stories – but note: his mastery of economy and the maze-like turns of his thought created works so powerful and pithy some of them are on par with whole volumes of other authors’ works. One of the few authors to make THIS aspiring author stop and feel just a little like reaching Borges’ level of mastery would be next to impossible, like some of the bassists when they first heard Jaco Pastorius or saxophonists upon hearing Bird or Trane!

Lee
August 18th, 2010

Thanks Ben, we will look at adding Jorge Luis Borges as soon as we possibly can!

I recently self-published “Revolt of the Animals”, a fantasy novel for teenagers on up about the animals’ efforts to save the world from human destruction. Everything from Chernobyl to the Gulf Oil Spill is covered. The Russians said Chernobyl was caused by control errors. Rubbish.

It was cased by anopholes mosquitoes and rats, the mosquitoes to put the control operators to sleep and then the rats to cut couplings, turn “off” switches “on” and “on” switches “off”. The aim is to show mankind that he does not have absolute control over the environment.

The book has been compared to Animal Farm and Silent Spring. May send you a copy for review, or look on amazon.com, or above website. I am seeking an award possibility Thank you,

Hello Lee,
for the last month or so there’s something strange going on with the way the pages open up in my browser. I am subscribed to the site and I get the links on my google reader. When I click on the link there to take me to the review page, the review page shows up with a lot of things missing such as pictures, review name and details and review score/rating. If I go back to your homepage and follow the link from there, the review appears normally with all the details that were missing before. Why does this happen ? Is it something on my side of the browser or some code gone awry on the RSS feed ?

P.S. Just did some “experiments” and noticed that in the feed, the link has this at the end: ?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+FantasyBookReview+(Fantasy+Book+Review)&utm_content=FeedBurner
when this is present the pages don’t appear right in my browser (firefox 3.6)
Without it (as are the links on the homepage) the pages appear perfectly.

Lee
May 10th, 2011

Hi Antonis,

Thank you so much for alerting me to this, I had no idea that anything was wrong. You are quite right, it was the query string (the ?utm_source) that was causing issues. This meant that the pages also wouldn’t work on mobile platforms so I am extremely glad that you got in contact.

I have put a new bit of code in place that hopefully means that the pages will work regardless of what comes after the ?

Fingers crossed, you should be able to follow links from Google Reader and find a working page.

Once again, thank you so much for your help,

Best wishes,
Lee

Wow such a quick and immediate response! I am amazed! When I logged into my google reader a few minutes ago and visited your pages I noticed straight away that the pages were loading and working like a charm. So I dropped by the contact page and just read your reply. I’m happy to be of assistance and even more happy to get the pages perfectly viewable at my first click! Thanks for the great site both in looks and content!
Take care!

Great list, read all of them. I was disapointed at how low WoT was, and that some great fantasy classics were left out such as The Silmarillion (better than The Hobbit), The Chronicles of Narnia, The Dragonlance Series, The Dark Tower series, the Shannara series and the Belgariad.

Blaine
May 21st, 2011

I havnt read all of them- “Typo” but this list defintly gives me some good choices

Narcissus Cartwright
August 11th, 2011

I haven’t started reading the series yet, as I’m a bit wary of each book’s page count, but I have a question for you that I know I shouldn’t be asking: if you could, would you review my chapbook when it comes out? It’s on the borderline of Science Fiction/Fantasy, and the Dragon Empire has entered a two way war with Humans and Crotonians, but it’s not what you think! It’s a chapbook series, 20 (or 50) pages per book (Yes, a chapbook is that short), so it will be a quick yet pounding read

I would leave the link for the blog, but then I’d look like an advertiser (well, doing this, I guess I am). Googling it is a better choice. (The Society On Da Run).

Or maybe I will post part 1: http://thesocietyondarun.wordpress.com/2011/08/05/the-society-on-da-run-dragonwar-part-1/

and part 2: http://thesocietyondarun.wordpress.com/2011/08/10/the-dragon-reborn/

So you can see whether or not it catches your interest to read more.

Hello there! I have recently published a book called “The Legend of Rudwin.” It’s a fantasy story of high adventure. Rudwin and his band of strange friends, including mad old Hobbleweed, set out on a quest of great daring. The quest isn’t as straight forward as it looks, and not to reveal to much, they are all caught up in a trap. I can only say so much here, but please visit my blog http://swwbooks.blogspot.com/ to read the first few chapters to see what the story is like for yourselves. You will find many of my short stories on the blog – they are a mixture of fantasy/weird and strange. You might enjoy them as well!

Thanks for reading and all the best .

Looking for someone to review my fantasy novel, Halfbreed, now available on Amazon Kindle as an e-book. Any comments welcome!

James
September 5th, 2011

There seems to be some reviewers who rate over a respectable range, and others who just use the decimals between 9.0 and 9.9. This tends to unbalance the lists, and make a lot of the reviews useless. I’ve noticed most of the comment reviews on the bottom do the same. I would suggest adopting an aggregate system (alongside) like amazon or imdb, because that eventually sorts things out (though you still tend to get either 1 star or 10 star reviews…what’s wrong with 7?). Good site though!

Ryan Lawler
September 10th, 2011

Hi James, we have certainly identified that our reviews average out on the high side. A lot of that has to do with the high quality of books we are reading.

Our goal with this site is to sift through all the books out there and find the ones that you should really be spending your time reading, and I think any score greater than 7/10 is pretty good indication that you should give the book a read.

I have been lucky in that I have hardly read a bad book over the past twelve months, and the one bad book I did read was scored appropriately. For me, the review is not about what score I give it, its about the words picture describing what I liked about the book and what I thought it could have done better.

Hi there. Thank you so much for this website!! I grew up hating to read, but loving books and stories… such a cruel twist! lol. A year ago I was introduced to audio books, and a new world opened up! I started and finished the Harry Potter series, then on to the Bartimaeus Chrinicles (Wow btw). I’m now finishing up the last in this series, The Ring of Solomon, having read more books in 6 months than I had in the preceding 33 years! I’m definitely hooked on fantasy novels… but I didn’t know where to go from here, or where I’d find a place I know would introduce me to new books and authors that are right up my ally. Thanks for being just that! Your book reviews and summaries are just what I needed to help me make up my mind!

After discovering this site recently I looked at the list of authors and found that one of my favorites, Brian Jacques, was missing. While I haven’t read much by him in a while I was saddened by his recent death as his stories of Redwall painted beautiful pictures in my imagination as a child. I understand that it is nearly impossible to have every author and every book in the expansive fantasy genre, but I believe he is one that helped many get their start reading the genre. If you could add him that would be great. Thanks.

Lee
January 23rd, 2012

Hi Ben, thank you do much for your comment. I have added “Brian Jacques biography” to my to-do list and will get one of our reviewers started on his work as soon as possible.

Hi there
You are doing a great job here
I just would like to recommend Michael J. Sullivan – Riyria Revelations series. Its excellent in that its both interesting as well as hilarious like Bartimeus trilogy. I’m sure everyone will enjoy it. Kindly try to include it in your reviews.
I’m sure you and other avid readers will enjoy this.
Thanks

Lee
February 15th, 2012

Hi Myla, I love fantasy tales that draw on Chinese culture and history for inspiration. Books I would recommened include Guy Gavriel Kay’s Under Heaven – http://www.fantasybookreview.co.uk/Guy-Gavriel-Kay/Under-Heaven.html, Peter Ward’s Dragon Horse – http://www.fantasybookreview.co.uk/Peter-Ward/Dragon-Horse.html and Alison Goodman’s The Two Pearls of Wisdom – http://www.fantasybookreview.co.uk/Alison-Goodman/The-Two-Pearls-of-Wisdom.html. Cracking good reads, all 3 of them.

Dillon
April 3rd, 2012

Hi there, first of all can I just say what a brilliant job with this wbsite.

Unfortunately ever since starting with Lord of The Rings, I’ve fallen into the trap of reading High/Epic Fantasy of the best quality: Robert Jordan, Brandon Sanderson, Stephen King, George RR Martin and Robin Hobb…Now I’m very much stuck for what to read next and don’t know where to turn? If anybody has a list of suggestions I’d be hugely grateful!

Basically I love High/Epic Fantasy that is written well with a similar style and QUALITY to those above. Tough ask I know, but i’d be very thankful for some suggestions! I can’ just sit around waiting for the next Stormlight Archive book or A Memory of light!

–

Hi Dillon,

You have indeed read some of the very best the genre has to offer! But I noticed that Steven Erikson was not mentioned – if you have not read his Malazan series then I would strongly recommend it, it really is magnificent (although not to everyone’s taste it seems). I have always loved David Gemmell’s work, which is probably more heroic than high fantasy but once again recommended. Guy Gavriel Kay (try Tigana first), Ursula Le Guin (Earthsea), NK Jemisin (Inheritance Trilogy) and Tad Williams’s works are also recommended.

Hope this helps,
Lee

Jake
April 4th, 2012

Just a quick suggestion – would it be possible to make the top lists for fantasy sub-genres the top 20 or 30 instead of just the top 10?

Lee
April 6th, 2012

That’s a great suggestion Jake, I will look at implementing it this week. I will probably expand the lists to 15 first. We have well over a 1,000 books read and reviewed so it makes sense to display as many as possible.

Thank you so much.

All the best,
Lee

Jan Foley
May 16th, 2012

What a great resource you’ve created! However, you absolutely MUST add Joe Abercrombie, author of “The First Law” trilogy, and the wonderful Kage Baker, author of the Company series (“In the Garden of Iden”, etc) and many others, including fantastic short stories. Sadly Kage Baker passed away FAR too soon, last year, at a very young age. But she’s left behind some really cracking stories and concepts. Joe Abercrombie is still a young man, so we’ll hopefully get lots more from him over the coming years.

Jasper de Joode
May 29th, 2012

Hi Dillon,

The additions that Lee mentioned are great reads, maybe the following will also be worth your time. I personally enjoyed The War with the Mein series from David Anthony Durham very much, The Black Magician trilogy of Trudi Canavan and The Deed of Paksenarrion by Elizabeth Moon. A novel with tending towards more S&S (i think) it the Black Prism by Brent Weeks.

Enjoy

Hi,

did you check on the new author Anthony Ryan’s – Blood Song (Raven’s shadow book one). Beautiful story telling. Very surprising that author is new. Has great potential to be like RR Martin. Hope the see the review in your site soon.

Thanks

Justin James

Hi Ramesh, It is definitely a book on my “To Read” list. Not sure if any of the other reviewers are planning on reviewing it too.

Thanks Ryan!

Looking forward to your wonderful reviews as usual

Blood song only available kindle version. No hard copies yet released. The author just tired his hand. Well, he must have done that long time back. He does not release how good he is at writing. Hope to get more out of his work. He is still young and very promising. Hope he makes writing a full time career for the readers sakes!

Thanks

Hi,

I am trying to remember a book title. The book starts with a Viking Village set at the base of the white cliffs in England, they take off to go raiding and only a boy survivies, he lands in a strange place and tries to get home. At one stage he stays in a catherdral where he learns from the brothers, he moves on and finds a village where they have a problem with a dragon in a cave. He kills the dragon, and keeps some of the blood. The whole time he is accompanied by a girl who turns out to be a ghost. He gets back to his village in the end, he gives the blood to a girl he likes and they both live forever.

Please help me.

My friend recently started this series and doesn’t stop talking about things from the books. I caved in and started reading it, the format.. Blargh (I don’t like playwrights/screenplays), but that didn’t stop. The characters vary and are quite realistic.

I just finished the third book and starting the fourth after my exams. I really want this underrated series to get exposure. Please review this and tell me if you shared the same unexpected love for this author and series.

Also, not bad for a freebie on my Nook (:
