Summary: Not just another oubliette
Review: For anyone who has ever loved Jim Henson's Labyrinth, reading this book is a must. You'll find more parallels than there are minutes in a Labyrinthininan day. Only this time, there's no Sarah, and the girl gets the man.

Summary: We all should find our own "oracle"
Review: I totally enjoyed this book. Even though the heroine is quite unrelistic, who cares! This is a fun book to read. The plot is entertaining. You like the villian and admire the heroine. If you don't want to mess with the problems of the world around you, read this book. Even the most unsurmountable problems can be overcome

Summary: Do you like fairy-tales?
Review: The first thing I did when I finished this book was open it up to page one and start reading it all over again. Heh, I haven't done that with a book since I was about 15 (I'm 26 now), so I guess that says something. The book is not perfect: I pretty much knew how it would end by page 3. But it's a pretty darn enjoyable trip getting there, and didn't spoil the experience for me. Ms. Logston's Crystal Keep is an incredible setting for a novel: a long hallway, with virtually unlimited doors leading into other worlds. And the premise of having to search these worlds to be granted your heart's desire is, at the same time, fresh and timeless. The characters are quite likeable, and the plot is entertaining enough, making for a very enjoyable read. My only other criticism is that the plot resolution is a little weird: too literal for my taste (you'll have to read the book to understand). But the setting and concept behind the story are enchanting enough to make up for the (few) weaknesses in the plot. Highly recommended for those looking to indulge in a little escapism.

Summary: Simply Magical!
Review: This book is just marvellous. If you like the magical dream-like world of Patricia A. McKillip, you'll love this story. On a quest to get the thing she needs to marry her true love, Dara finds herself exploring the Crystal Keep and its hallway of endless doors to search out the Oracle's answers. The characters are brightly-painted, the Keep is dream-like, and the plot moves rapidly and enthrallingly. Different from Logston's other books, but very very good!

Summary: Surprise, surprise
Review: When I picked up this book, I was hoping for an entertaining book... the "ad" for this book (the back cover) doesn't even begin to tell you how wonderful this book is. As an avid reader, I can say that this book is EXCELLENT.... and Logston is now one of my favorite authors! This is a wonderful book with more depth in it's 300 pages than most authors would try for in 30,000 pages. A wonderful fantasy that is very realistic in the emotions and human behavior of the characters.

Summary: I luved this book!
Review: _Guardian's Key_ is one of the best books I've ever read! Anne Logston spins a wonderful yarn with a captivating mystery, a likeable heroine, and a wonderfully complex villain! If you have anything important to do, do not start this book, because once you start, you will be so caught up that you won't be able to stop! Enjoy!
