3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, but not great., December 16, 2005
This review is from: Books of Magic, The: Reckonings - Book 3 (Paperback)
John Ney Rieber, The Books of Magic: Reckonings (Vertigo, 1997)

Reckonings, the third book in the Sandman spinoff Books of Magic series, is a marked improvement over book two, though it's still not up to the standard set by the Sandman series.

In this one, Tim and Molly, along with a few extraplanar friends, are off gallavanting when Molly gets kidnapped by a bunch of pink dinosaurs. (I kid you not.) In order to rescue her, Tim has to brave the fires of Hell-- except that Hell has no fires. Hell is a vast bureaucracy just waiting to implode upon itself.

It's amusing enough for what it is, but the narrative lacks the Gaiman touch, substituting labyrinthine plot twists for Gaiman's dark characterization and master's touch with detail. Still, it's enjoyable enough to keep me going in the series. ***

3.0 out of 5 stars It's no Gaiman, but good stuff., July 29, 1999
This review is from: Books of Magic, The: Reckonings - Book 3 (Paperback)
What the title says. It cant hope to match what Gaiman did in the original mini....but it's good stuff. Interesting relations...although the future/past relation is somewhat lacking overall. It seems incomplete when read alone. Makes you wish you had other chapters. But overall good stuff.
