The Magic Kingdom of Lanover series was first written in the 1990s and has continued to be popular. Good adventure, wonderfully thought-out fairy, human, and animal characters. Well plotted.

Well in this one you feel like you are a part of the family. That it's your daughter that has been taken and that you want revenge for. Once again with great word chioce and apporaite imagery you are drawn in to the scene in this last of the Landover novels.

Full of action -- another Magic Kingdom of Landover novel. Chicago Lawyer Ben Holiday struggles against the armies of a King from outside of the magic kingdom. A fun read.

For the fifth time, Brooks brings us Ben Holiday in the Magic Kingdom of Landover. Ben's daughter, Mistaya, is growing with supernatural speed, just in time to become the object of a kidnapping. The kidnappers are working for the hostile potentate Rydall, who is challenging Ben to seven contests, winner take all--" all" in this case being the Magic Kingdom. As usual, Ben and his comrades and allies are forced to use both sheer magical muscle and subtler ingenuity to come out with their skins whole. As usual, they succeed. The Magic Kingdom books continue to be ingenious, witty, and generally fun to read, even though they do not reach for the exalted high-fantasty heights of Brooks' Shannara novels.
