Rating: Summary: The Best Book On Earth Review: I absolutely love this book. It has come to be my favorite book, even though it was published a month before I was born. I picked it up in a thrift store for [price] I put it on the shelf in my room, and forgot about it. A year later I looked through my bookshelf, needing another book to read. I picked it out, and sat down to read it. I couldn't put it down! I read it before school, in school, and after I finished my schoolwork until two in the morning. After I finished it, I put it down, and told myself that if I ever found another book in the world that was better then that, I would scream at the top of my lungs until my death, and I'm not screaming now.
Rating: Summary: Very interesting Review: I thought the book was quite interesting. It's basically a novelization of a Russian folktale, and very fascinating. Deals with forest spirits and exiled nobles, some forbidden love and magical princes. Very charming read!
Rating: Summary: An enchanting fairy tale... Review: In a magical Russian world full of rusalka, leshyi, boyars and magic, Finist, the magician-prince of Kirtesk has a few problems on his hands--or often, talons. Oh, just the usual: a sorcerous, seductive cousin who's out for his throne, politics, magic and, of course, True Love. I loved the Russian setting and the use of Russian folk-tales to augment the excellent plot. Both characters and plot are developed thoroughly. If Russian folk-lore appeals to you, also try Mercedes Lackey's Firebird.
Rating: Summary: This book is an award winner. Review: It should be noted that this book won the Compton Crook award for being judged the best first novel in the genera by the Baltimore Science Fiction Society. That is a fine recomendation right there.
Rating: Summary: Amazing Review: This book is like a fairy-tale. When I first got it, I wasn't in the least bit interested in it. But, being bored, I opened it and read the first page. Four and half hours later, I closed the book, finished. I could not put it down for one second.
