4.0 out of 5 stars Finally some pay off., Mar 20 2009

Reads bookman "horror reader" (new brunswick) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Darkest Road (Paperback)

This is the best book of the three and was worth wading through the first two to get here. If you have read my reviews of the first two books you can tell that they bored and confused me to no end, but i still found them enjoyable. Looking back now i can say this is probably one of the best book series i will ever read. The author took alot of chances with the final book killing off characters that you wouldn't expect to die. Coming to good conclusions and tying up most of the characters stories neatly. The poetic prose seemed easier to understand and all the action made everything flow alot better. There is several amazing battles during this book two in particular that are just awesome. In the end i would say this trilogy is worth your time even though it will take up alot of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Story in a Beautiful Setting, July 31 2004

This review is from: The Darkest Road (Paperback)

I love the Fionavar Tapestry. In these books Kay has woven a beautiful, complex story. The setting is Fionavar, a gorgeous and enchanted world filled with magic and history--a world which reminds me of Narnia or Middle Earth. The story is filled with strong, compelling characters, both male and female, who sometimes have to make difficult choices. At times the story is sad but Kay's writing is so graceful that I enjoyed even the sad parts.

The Longest Road, the last book in the trilogy, was for the me the most emotional and heartbreaking. I cried many times before reaching the end, but Kay's story is never bitter, only bittersweet. And within it there also lies true joy for some characters. The closing chapters of this story are magnificent in scope and feeling, and when I turned the last page I felt satisfied.

I would highly recommend The Fionavar Tapestry to anyone who enjoys epic fantasy with powerful magic and attractive settings.

Andrew Plimpton "Don Gato" (Massachusettes) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Darkest Road (Hardcover)

Wow !Yes! I love this book.It was deeply magically interesting ,it was tense,it was creative,it was everything!
Finally Matt strives to become king of the Dwarves,finally there is a great challenge against good and evil(incase you haven't read the others there wasn't much of a fighting challenge against evil.Well there a bit in Summer Tree,but practically none in Wandering Fire),finally Colan's dagger comes in!
Alright ,maybe I'd better calm down here,but I just love this
book so much.
Here is the plot:Finally,the struggle against Rakoth Maugrim has come,the forces of Brennin,Cathal,and the lios alfar march against him.Kimberly Ford will strive to bring the Paraiko(giants ) into the struggle,and Matt Soren plans to reclame his throne as King of the Dwarves,for the Dwarves must also be in this battle.And while all this happens Darien,son of Maugrim ,is destined to bear the Circlet of Lisen,to take the Darkest Road.The whole conflict is almost in his hands.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing
The last of the three does justice to the first two. I thoroughly enjoyed re-reading this trilogy and will no doubt do so again in years to come.
