5.0 out of 5 stars
A truly successful, satifying and imaginative fantasy quest,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hiero's Journey (Mass Market Paperback)
Rereading this book for the 10th time or so, I am still amazed by how well this story works, relative to so many other fantasy and sorcery tales. There is no padding, no excess, no digressions even when the plot seems to be a series of hung-together adventures. Moreover, "the Unclean" are really evil and horrible, in a way that not many other authors seem to have captured. This book, and its sequel, deserve to be reissued. And maybe other authors should use it as a model for how to write fantasy/adventure that endures.

Of the thousands of sci-fi books I've read-one of best,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hiero's Journey (Mass Market Paperback)
Believable, imaginative, engaging. An extremely satisfying read from start to finish. I've read the book at least ten times, each more enjoyable. While based on a world atomic disaster this is an uplifting, feel-good story. The next volume, Unforsaken Hiero, keeps up the pace and adds more dimensions to Per Hiero, our hero. While each book tells a complete story, the saga is incomplete. It has been frustrating waiting for years for the third volume. Despite the lack, the two books are incredible.

This book is excellent and well worth the time to read.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hiero's Journey (Mass Market Paperback)
This is one of Mr. Lanier's best books. I have read it several times and have never tired of it. The only other book of his that I would rate at the same level is the sequel, Unforsaken Heiro. I have never seen the concluding book of the series, so I assume it was never written, but there two books are worth the time and effort to find and enjoy.
