4.0 out of 5 stars Ladies of Mandrigyn - a winner, Jun 1 2001

By A Customer

This book has become one of my perennial favorites, along with its sequels, "The Witches of Wenshar" and "The Dark Hand of Magic." Hambly does an exquisite job of building believable characters in her believable fantasy world, and the realism of their inner and outward conflicts are almost always absolutely true to their own nature. My copies of Ladies as well as Witches and Dark Hand are so worn that I regret the books are out of print, as I would gladly replace my tattered copies. By all means anyone looking for a good read should hunt down the Ladies of Mandrigyn.

4.0 out of 5 stars Women will love this book, Jul 24 2000

By	Angela Ledgerwood (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews

Why? Because there are so many fantastic female characters! Instead of being stuck choosing between the roles of damsel-in-distress, wicked stepmother, or femme fatale, Hambly's female characters are diverse, powerful, and human. Which is not to slight her men! They, too, are excellently fleshed out characters with a combination of endearing and repulsive traits. While the plot is somewhat predictable, there are enough twists to keep you turning the pages. It's a shame that Amazon reports this book being out-of-print because it's one of Hambly's best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another wonderful series..., April 26 2000

By	suzatm (PA United States) - See all my reviews

This is Barbara Hambly's other series that I have read and reread. I wish she would write more featuring SunWolf and Starhawk. Please don't pass this series up. It is well worth the time spent reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent, vivid and original fantasy novel!
One of the things I really appreciate about the book is that it isn't your constant, run of the mill, Lord Of The Rings rehash. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars "What in the name of the cold hells is this?" --Sun Wolf
This is the most gripping, vivid, richly colored book I have ever read. And this is only the first; the last (The Dark Hand of Magic) is easily on the same level. Read more
