quite good read Advantages: good storyline Disadvantages: like odd at times City Who Fought is an amazing book which I really love. The characters are all very real and three-demensional. I found myself so drawn into the story that I forgot about many other things, including my favourite tv show. I stayed up til...bout 2:30 AM reading this book, so that I could find out what happened to Simeon, Joat, Channa, and the rest of them. My favourite character was Simeon, of course, but Joat, Channa, Joseph, Seld, Patsy, Chaundra ... ...wonderfully three-demensional. Simeon is my favourite brain -- favourite character -- from any of Anne McCafferey's B&B books. The only problems I found with this book were a) that it was much more militaristic than I like, but I knew that when I began reading it, so I can only blame myself, and b) the Kolnari were a bit..flat, and 2-dimensional, not something I personally like in a book, especially for the villians. One thing that I read in another ... david1978 24.07.2000 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of City Who Fought - Anne McCaffrey	Would you read it again?

Ghosts of the living and ghosts of the dead ... Advantages: Eternal Champion novel, Can be read and enjoyed by any age group Disadvantages: Makes some assumptions that the 'Runestaff' books have been read Count Brass is the opening book from the second Hawkmoon set, entitled 'The Chronicles of Castle Brass', and takes place around 5 years after the events depicted in the 'Runestaff' series. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For those of you not familiar with Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion, I will take a short time to explain the character in general. The Eternal Champion is a warrior destined ... ...on the subject. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Count Brass is a continuation of the story of Dorian Hawkmoon, Duke Von Koln who, in the first set of books (The History of the Runestaff) was chosen as the champion of the Runestaff (one of the main 3 artifacts that exists throughout the multiverse) to fight against the insane empire of Granbretan, and who despite a handicap (which I cannot ...

An OK story but a once only read Advantages: Characters you get to like and some interesting ideas Disadvantages: A bit slow going and confusing at first ...the closing chapters!. The Cosmonaut Keep would have been given better than average marks by me if it had actually been followed by something as good - as it is the following two books in my opinion are not up to the same standard. So I can't really recommend this book as you will have to read through two other books to get the complete story with a lot of dull narative thrown in and a strange ending. I will not be reading this book again. ... Rob099 28.06.2006 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Cosmonaut Keep - Ken MacLeod	Would you read it again?

Closer to Heaven Advantages: Great character building Disadvantages: A little slow paced for my taste Fantasy and science fiction are genres that mesh well together. Some authors have written successfully across both genres, but not usually in the same story. Jaine Fenn has managed to combine both in one book and it's an interesting read. One night, a stranger is found lying unconscious in a bog just outside the village of Dangwern. He appears to have come from nowhere and, apart from a strange piece of cloth lying near his naked body, there is nothing ... ...Unfortunately, this includes the stranger himself, as he is suffering from amnesia and has no idea even where he is, much less how he came to be there. Fortunately for Sais, as he is nicknamed, the boy who finds him is "sky touched". This means he is soon to travel to the City of Lights to be tested to see if he is worthy of being a consort of the goddesses. The village elders permit Sais and the boy's mother Kerin to accompany him to see if anyone ...
