Summary: Great continuation!
Review: Antryg in trouble again.This series, one of Hambly's best to date, is a great, hard to put down read. Just read it for the fifth time, and came looking to see if she has gotten to write (the very needed) next volume. Unfortuantly, not yet. The culture, the magic and how they intergrate is top notche.

Summary: Wonderful characters and plot.
Review: I read the Windrose Chronicles when it first came out and have been waiting ( patiently? ) for another installment. I feel these are some of the best characters in Barbara's long and prolific writing career. Unique and intensley likable as well as multifaceted. We need more of this story! Parts one and two were my favorites, but this was wonderful.

Summary: My Favorite
Review: I've read every Barbara Hambly book published, but I think this is my favorite. She has a knack for inventing characters that are complex and real, but Antryg and Joanna are not only believable but wonderful. I can't think of them without a feeling of fondness that I'd usually associate with my own family.

Summary: Great to see things from Antryg's perspective
Review: I've watched Barbara Hambly improve as a writer since her first books (not something every writer bothers to do when they get published) and I've been very impressed. I loved "The Silent Tower" and "The Silicon Mage" when they first came out, more than anything else because the character of Antryg Windrose was so compelling. When I finally got hold of "Dog Wizard", I was very struck by it, because for the first time I got to see things through Antryg's eyes, and it did not disappoint. Antryg's past experiences still haunt him, and shape who he is, rather than being thrown out with the last plot as many writers would do. Emotionally it rings very true to me, and embodies what I think is some of the best of Hambly's writing.

Summary: This is one of the greatest fantasy books I have ever read!
Review: In this final installment of her "Dog Wizard" trilogy, you can only home she will do what so many other others are fond of doing today...write andother one! These books are well written and can easily stand independently of each other, but once you read one you want more. Today, it seems, you can get halvway through some workd and already see the "to be continued" notice at the back. There is no feeling of closure to the story and you know you are going to have to buy a couple of more books for satisfaction. Come on now...Ms. Hambly is a gifted story-weaver and lets each of her works stand on their individual merit. These books are a must read for any true fan of fantasy!

Summary: A must-read for fans of Antryg
Review: Read The Silent Tower and The Silicon Mage? Wonder what happened to Joanna and Antryg after the miraculous save and his exile to magicless Los Angeles? Well, they lived happily ever after. For a couple of months. Suddenly everyone Antryg knows has the same distressing dream... the senders can't get to Antryg, and they know it, but the message is clear: we can hurt the people around you. And then Joanna disappears, kidnapped again across the Void. Antryg obeys the summons and is nabbed by the Council of Wizards. There's trouble again in Ferryth, and they want his help... if he's not the one causing the trouble himself. Not trusting him one bit, the Council binds Antryg's power - leaving him with only his wits to defend himself, find Joanna, and get to the bottom of this before reality flies apart at the seams. This book is not as wham-bam fabulous as the Windrose chronicles, but it's a good read, some of Hambly's better work. And if you, like so many, really need just one more dose of the daft wizard hero, you gotta get this book.
