5.0 out of 5 stars Calix Stay Is Definetely Staying On My Bookshelf!!!!, July 18, 2001

This review is from: Calix Stay (Circle of Light, Book 3) (Paperback)

This book was such a great read after I picked it up from a local used bookstore. The transition from Calix Stay's prequel ("Faragon Fairingay") was really smooth and kept the storyline fresh. The main heroes are still the famous trio of the Bear, Dwarf, and Otter, who are trying to cross the river called Calix Stay, for safety. They must guard an important relic with their lives from the destructive minions of the Dark Queen, Dorini, and the only way they can do that is reach the Meadows of the Sun across the Calix Stay. On their way they are hindered by enemies and eventually wind up in an ancient underground realm where they'll find both, allies and enemies that will determine the success of the trio in their endeavors to protect the fate of Atlanton Earth from the Dark Queen. I loved this book, and it was a really easy read (as a matter of fact, it was the shortest book in the series.) I love the cover art as much as the story inside. Though this book has it's really depressing moments, I have faith that Bear, Dwarf, and Otter will some way find a way to win out against the vile Dark Queen... And that we shall find out in the fourth and final book of the series, "Squaring the Circle".

1.0 out of 5 stars Insanely plagiaristic, June 26, 2006

This review is from: Calix Stay: The Circle of Light, Book 3 (Mass Market Paperback)

This entire series is an enormous rip-off of The Lord of the Rings. Worse, perhaps, than The Sword of Shannara. At least the latter was a bit more exciting and adventurous.

Volume Three takes the heroes through capture and tragic escape, to a meeting with new friends and a mystical journey underground. Keeps up the pace and holds interest.
