Rating: Summary: Mirror of her Dreams Review: Terisa lives in a glass tower in the middle of a large city. Her parents' wealth enables her to live a reclusive life, with little contact with reality. In fact, she has surrounded herself with mirrors, hoping to convince herself she is real.When a young man crashes through one of her glasses, all that changes. She is drawn into a different world, where no one is sure if she is real or a creation of magic. If she is real, she possesses a powerful enchantment that could be key to saving a kingdom ruled by a king lost in dreams. Here she first finds love and lust both. Choosing between the two may be key to saving herself and this new world. *** In this adult version of Alice in Wonderland, Stephen R Donaldson again proves himself a master of fantasy. He explores a new world through the eyes of a woman who is as lost as his former protagonist, Thomas Covenant. In doing so, he forces the reader to examine their own hearts. *** Reviewed by Amanda Killgore.
Rating: Summary: One of the best books I've ever read. Review: This book, as well as the second and final book in the series, will stay with you for a long time after you are through reading it. Mr. Donaldson creates a world that is so vivid and believable, it is very hard to leave it behind when you finish the series. I've read them both about three times, and it's been a while, so I'm read to start over again, something I almost never do with other books. My only complaint, if you can call it that, is that I wish there were more books in this series. They definitely leave you wanting more.
