Summary: Moral irresponsibility, whee!
Review: The basic plot is, child prostitute who's seriously into unicorns meets nice wizard (in a bar); wizard gives her money, says "make your own magic," and stresses constantly that magic can't fix your problems; child prostitute is angst-ridden, shot at, and kidnapped for two-hundred-fifty pages; child prostitute is touched by her unicorn and suddenly her abusive parents are saints and everything's quite all right.

At once point, child prostitute's internal monologue explains that escapism is a myth and she reads fantasy to find *solutions*.

Hopefully child prostitute never reads this book.

(Oh, and there's also some stuff where evil elves make porn films by kidnapping other child prostitutes and taping monsters raping/eating them, if you're into that. We even get to sit in on a brainstorming session. And good elves playing with racecars, as usual.)

Summary: the perfect hero!
Review: The best part of this book is the hero/main character, Tannim; a human mage who has a big heart with a soft spot for kids in tough places. He shares this sentiment with the good elves who race cars to get money becaues you just can't hand over a handful of silver coins to a needy mother these days without something going wrong!(what ever happened to those good old days?) I loved to follow this infectiously lovable and completely human character on his jaunts through the real world and the not so real. His faults are completely believable and make you like the guy all the more (if that is even possible) and makes you hold you breath as he gets into scrapes and hard spots galore! If you don't fall in love with Tannim and wish to hear more and more and more about him, you really need to see a doctor because you head isn't working too well! (No offense!) A great read and worth every penny!

Summary: Add elves, magic, and a dash of cars. Stir and enjoy!


Review: You want elves, magic, all sorts of craziness?

Try throwing in the 20th Century and you have a fast paced, magic throwing, fun loving novel.

Eat your heart out magic lovers.
