Eos

Diana Wynne Jones

Eos, 2008

Like a breath of fresh air, or maybe...
This book is like a warm summer breeze. So refreshing that when you are finished with it, you'll sit back and sigh. This story is wonderful: filled with wit, humor, quirkiness, magic, and of course, love. It is such a wonderful adventure that when it finally ends ...

The Great Book of Amber: The Complete Amber Chronicles, 1-10 (Chronicles of Amber)

Roger Zelazny

Eos, 1999

Classic SF&F
Roger Zelazny's Amber series is one of the best sci-fi/fantasy epics ever written. Not only was it highly imaginative and original when it was published (in the 70s and 80s), but it remains so -- there's nothing else like it. Corwin and his brothers and sisters are ...

Renegade's Magic (The Soldier Son Trilogy, Book 3)

Robin Hobb

Eos, 2008

still got the magic
Great addition to the sequence. I plan to re-read the first two after I finish this one. I don't often get these in hard back, but it is definitely worth the trouble. Enjoy!

Dead Witch Walking (Rachel Morgan, Book 1)

Kim Harrison

Eos, 2004

Great start to a series - gimme more!
I am completely enthralled by this series! Yes, I know I've only read the first book. And yes, I know that a lot of it is pretty... well, cheesy. I admit this. But it's also a lot of fun. The characters are great, Rachael is really likeable, and it's been awhile ...

The Outlaw Demon Wails (Rachel Morgan, Book 6)

Kim Harrison

Eos, 2008

Lots Of Twists And Turns
Harrison always keeps the story moving along with tons of action. This book lets us see a bit father into the hearts of the characters. I didn't really see those parts of the book as "slow moving", but rather a necessary part of the plot. I'm looking forward to the ...

A Canticle for Leibowitz

Walter M. Miller Jr.

Eos, 2006

Sci-fi that isn't
Do you know many science-fiction books that quote Latin? Where the heroes are monks and abbots? Where the protagonists argue over illuminated manuscripts? A Canticle for Leibowitz has an appeal well beyond science-fiction fans. Too much of it shouldn't be given ...

Wrath of a Mad God (The Darkwar Saga, Book 3)

Raymond E. Feist

Eos, 2008

The Godkiller Strikes
Wrath of a Mad God (2008) is the third fantasy novel of the Darkwar Saga, following Into a Dark Realm. In the previous volume, the necromancer Leso Varen traps Miranda and gives her to the Dasati Deathpriests. The boys are captured by Salmater troops. Pug and his ...

Every Which Way But Dead (Rachel Morgan, Book 3)

Kim Harrison

Eos, 2005

The Best So Far
I am currently on the 5th book in the series (I am hooked), but this has been my favorite so far. I love the characters! I felt like I got a little closer to them when I read this one.

Jimmy the Hand: Legends of the Riftwar, Book III (Legends of the Riftwar)

Raymond E. Feist, S.m. Stirling

Eos, 2008

entertaining Legends of the Riftwar tale
The Mockers enable the royals Arutha and Anita to flee Krondor and the assault of Duke Guy du Bas-Ytra. The irate city ruler demands his thugs bring him the head of teen thief Jimmy the Hand and the other Mockers who abetted the Prince in his and Princess Anita's ...

Forest Mage (The Soldier Son Trilogy, Book 2)

Robin Hobb

Eos, 2007

True to Robin Hobb's tradition.
This is the second volume is the Soldier Son trilogy (after Shaman's Crossing and before Renegade's Magic). Recovering from the plague, many surviving cadets can now only hope for a fragile health. Nevare convalesces remarkably well though, but as time goes by, he ...

Nightwalker (Dark Days, Book 1)

Jocelynn Drake

Eos, 2008

Well Developed Races and Histories, Great Atmosphere
I saw Jocelynn Drake's new book everywhere - and I avoided it. I have to be honest. We're having a glut of vampire/vampire hunter books out in the reading market and I really didn't think I could handle one more series (and they're always a series). So I passed it ...

Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast

Robin Mckinley

Eos, 2005

I couldn't put it down...
I liked this book. It has a little bit of magic. It keeps you guessing through the whole book. Shannah

The Dispossessed

Ursula K. Le Guin

Eos, 1994

Outstanding Utopian Work of Freedom and Liberty
Science fiction has often described libertarian societies and ideals. Think of such works as Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land," Russell's ". . .and Then There Were None," and Williamson's "The Equalizer," among others. One of the most explicit of science ...
