Another winner,
By Jerry "a sci-fi/fantasy lover" (Macon, GA USA) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Extinction: War of the Spider Queen, Book IV (Mass Market Paperback)
this author keeps the story going and the reader eager for more. Read the first three books fast and got this one a few days ago. Man what a story. Action and adventure, just what I like. If you like books like this one, might I suggest another I've recently come across. The Unsuspecting Mage by Brian S. Pratt. It's another fantasy adventure sure to please. I highly recommend it.

Predictable, but Fun,
By swiven (Meaux, LA USA) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Extinction: War of the Spider Queen, Book IV (Hardcover)
I confess, I love reading about the Drow, so I'm not an unbiased observer here. However, I've really enjoyed this series so far, and this book is no exception. Yes, the theme of drow-redeemed-from-evil has been done to death, and so far I haven't seen anyone do it better than R.A. Salvadore, but this is, after all heroic fantasy. It is possible to write great fantasy wherein all the characters are evil, but it's usually better when there is at least some conflict between "good" and "evil." Yes, the other protagonists aren't doing anything spectacularly innovative or terribly unpredictable. However, they are moving the series plot along with well written dialogue and a few nifty spell concepts. And this is not groundbreaking fantasy, nor does it pretend to be. It is book 4 of a series in which several talented, lesser-known authors have taken an interesting premise with good marketing prospects and added their own ideas to the foundation already created. I would recommend it for any Saturday afternoon that you have free.

Extinction,
By Amos Chapman (North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Extinction: War of the Spider Queen, Book IV (Hardcover)
I began reading the War of the Spider Queen series in the hopes of finding new authors to rekindle my interest in fantasy novels. I found my author in Lisa Smedman. Incredibly, she brings unimaginable new depth to characters that I thought I understood too well from the first three books, while sacrificing none of the action that keeps me reading Fantasy. Extinction is, in my opinion, the best of the series so far. This novel has me waiting all too impatiently for the climax.
