Summary: The Best Damned Fantasy Fiction I've Ever Read!
Review: Lawson's command of the language is so impressive that I hardly noticed I was reading a genre I normally find stilted and affected. Did I say "language!" I should have said command of the languageS. The first thing you should know is that Lawson's invention of language and his charcter names are enormously creative and captivating. Since this is probably only the second "fantasy" genre text I've read in its entirety (I read "The Hobbit" back in the early 70s), I almost feel unqualified to comment on his book. But I must say that in spite of the genre, "Witch Ember" is extremely well written with very smooth transitions. And on top of that, Lawson's storytelling skill is excellent. The storyline and its inventiveness held my attention; and I'm the classic Poe scholar--you know, never read anything you can't finish in one sitting. I recommend this book to friends who are into the genre as well as to anyone who appreciates the art of fine writing. If Lawson can hold the focus of an fantasyphobe like me, I guarantee you will find his work a treasure of intellectual and emotional delight.

Summary: Excellent read!
Review: This book takes the reader on a adventure seldom matched in fantasy novels. It kept me interested through to the very end. I honestly couldn't put it down! I can't rave enough about the story ... it pulls you in and you feel the emotions, both good and bad vividly and in full color. There are no 'down times' to give you a breather ... it forces you one after another into the fast paced danger and thrills that fill it! 5 stars, Mr. Lawson! Robin

Summary: A Spellbinding Book!
Review: This is not your typical run-of-the-mill fantasy book. This book is one of those that you can hardly put down until you finish the last page. Truly a wondrous book! I've read it once already, I'm in the process of reading it a second time! A must buy.
