4.0 out of 5 stars A Cross-over Story that Works, January 26, 2001

This review is from: A Call to Arms (Paperback)

Most stories that involve someone from 'Real Life' going to another world, having adventures there, and coming back are not very good; some are downright awful. This book, the final book of the trilogy involving Steve "the Dreamer" Wilkinson, manages to succeed where so many others have failed.

Both worlds are convincing and compelling. Steve is not some ultimate weapon -- rather, it is what he knows as much as his wits and courage that lead him on against the forces that are arrayed against him.

I recommend this book, but also recommend that you read the first two books of the trilogy first, as this is not a stand-alone book.

5.0 out of 5 stars great book, August 24, 2000

I guess the title of the review is not original but this really is a great book. This is the book that led me to buy the books to the Magelord trilogy. I just love the way that Steve just has a humorous way about him, even in a battle. The only complaint I have is that I got this book! That means that I didn't get to read the first two books and that I would probably never get to read it because it's out of stock or whatever! Well enough complainning. If you love fantasy and just want to have a good time, then get this book. You might get annoyed that you can't read the whole thing but you would definately be missing something if you don't read it. I read alot and I'm very picky so if I like something then I like it. It is well written, the world itself seems real, and it makes you feel like it really could happen and you don't want to put this book down.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Dreamer's Return, March 25, 1998

You have to hand it to Steve. He holds up damned well under fire. Good thing, because he's under fire a heck of a lot in this book. The time has come to fulfill the prophecy of the Dreamer. But the prophecy has two arms, and things don't always look like they will go the way that Steve wants and needs them to go. And when the gods themselves are interfering left and right, nothing is certain. All in all, a delightful romp back to Delgroth. Mr. Martin's wonderful attention to details really pull the reader into the story.
