Review: A rarity: a good fantasy novel that doesn't leave you waiting for the next book to find out what happens! A very well crafted story, with colorful characters. Buy it!

Summary: The Queer Painter
Review: A very good story plot ruined by the all-too-constant attempt to persuade the reader into sharing the author's view that homosexuality is normal.

Summary: Very Satisfying
Review: I enjoyed the book, I found that the characters were engaging and that it was very easy to get drawn into the book. The plot and the richness of the storyline was quite impressive. It is rare that I find so good an author, and one that I want to keep going back to.

Summary: AMAZING!
Review: I truly enjoyed reading this book! This is a must for any fantasy fan. I really appreciate the way that Fiona Patton sets up her societies and makes well rounded characters that you fall in love with instantly. If you want an action packed, romantic, and often adorable story to read, I highly reccommend this book!

Summary: The Queer Painter
Review: I would give this book, in comparison to all of the other Fiona Patton books I've read thus far, an 8 on the scale of one to ten. However, compared to books in general, I would give this book about a six or a six point five. The reason being that the plot is so-so, and too cookie-cuttered to hold interest for long. The details were saturated with cliches, and the descriptions of things too thin. I don't know how to explain it, except to compare it to using veggie broth blocks instead of an actual chicken when preparing chicken noodle soup--it tastes different. Basically, too much of what's said in Paiter Knight has already been said a million times by other people decades before.

Summary: 3.6 to 3.7

Summary: Impressed yet again
Review: Once again, I enjoyed reading "The Painter Knight" as much as "The Stone Prince" and "The Granite Shield". Though I read them a little out of order, I was taken by her style and fluidity of storytelling from the first book. Fionna Patton brings yet another era in the life of the Flame to life, the power of the Gods in the lives of It's followers drawing you in. The rich descriptions of events and the depth of the characters, makes reading the book all that more enjoyable. I was pulled in from the start. I'm very eager to see what she comes up with next.
