I really loved this book. I picked it up, and after I read the first chapter, I pretty well read the thing cover to cover in a couple of days. I was surprised at how well done this book was, after how skeptical I was when I picked it up. If you like warefare books, magic, and general fantays, this book is great. It's too bad this book is going out of print. It's a gem.

Is this book the best fantasy I've ever read? Damn right. So far no compair to this books massive appeal or heroic characters. I've seen many books but never have a seen a book where a person takes magic and turns it into something so interesting that your curious about it. Not only does the action take its toll but the characters themselves, who you feel you could relate because of their fears and desires to be not only great but heroic. Is this a book I would recommend to someone? Yes, very much so. If there is anything better I would sure be interested in knowing what.

The begiining of this book was action packed just like the end. But in the middle 100 pages, it semmed like the didnt know what to what so he filled it with a bunch of useless mumbo jumbo.

If page after yawn-inducing page of descriptions of fighting (a sort of videogame in text) thrill you, run out and buy this book. You will be entranced. If you don't find modern phrases suitable to a Pentagon press briefing jarring and out of place in a fantasy novel, the prose will sing to your soul. If characters with all the depth of 20# Laser paper satisfy you, this is *your* book.

This happens to be one of my favorite books - it's falling apart, I've read it so much! To tell the truth, this is the book that got me involved in heavier fantasy. Thomas K. Martin did a very good job with this one!

I've read a lot of books, and Magelord: The Awakening is one of the best, if not the best books I've ever read. I recommend this book to everybody! In case anybody's nervous that the other books in the trilogy will be a let down, don't be, it only gets better!!

Never having read a book from Mr. Martin, but being otherwise well read, I was not prepared for how well written and how well thought out the entire book was. The characters and plot we detailed and rich and imparted stunning mental images. MageLord: The Awakening has to be one of the best books I've read in quite sometime. I was immediately spellbound with his world and vision and finished it immediately. A definate Must read.

Magelord: The Awakening was a great book. I would recommend it to anyone. I was very satisfied with the ending, because it completed the story, but left room for the rest of the books. I can't wait to read the next books.
