The second book in the trilogy.... again, interesting but not great... a decent read for fantasy lovers... a clever use of well-known characters from history and legend.
Clarissa K. (CK1) reviewed The Wandering Fire (Fionavar Tapestry, Bk 2) on
At first I was skeptical of this series because of it's simple and seemingly unoriginal story line. But once you step into the world he creates you don't want to leave. If you are a lover of fantasy and mythology this book has all the right elements to ensure your enjoyment. My only complaint is that the third book has been somewhat difficult to find and I want to know what happens next!
