Enter the vivid imagination of Tanith Lee, Aug 16 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cyrion (Paperback)
Cyrion is a series of short stories about a hero-nomad-wanderer set in the high middle eastern civilization of Arabian Nights. It will leave you wanting more. Tanith Lee's style is mystical and dreamy. Her descriptions lift you out of your world and draw you into the book like few others I have read. Read these stories late at night, and you will find yourself looking up and blinking at the normalcy of your surroundings after ther first few pages. Cyrion travels the desert as in a dream, wholly competent and capable, going and coming in a foggy vision as though he appears and dissapears into the sand itself. The setting in Middle Eastern folklore is refreshing after so much Celtic and Norse mythology. The perfect book to read in bed! And an excellent introduction to Ms. Lee's style.

I want more!, Nov 23 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cyrion (Paperback)
It begins with various characters in an inn exchanging stories about the mysterious adventurer, Cyrion, and it ends up as a magical detective story filled with ghosts, witches, swashbuckling fun, and delightful duplicity. Tanith Lee never lets me down, but I wish she'd write more about Cyrion. A note to fellow females: I usually go for the tall,dark types, but I could certainly go for the Cyrion type.

THIS IS A MASTERPIECE, Sep 27 1998
By "ccjune" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cyrion (Paperback)
This is a book for people who love GOOD pulp fiction. This is what Robert E. Howard would have written, if he had written the adventures of Simon Templer, alais The Saint. Subtle, insightful. Fun. Wish she would write more in this vein.
Listmania!
