5.0 out of 5 stars The Curse fills Lord Of The Rings void, January 29, 2004

This review is from: The Curse Of Garnel Ironheart (Unending War Trilogy) (Paperback)

I'm a huge Lord Of The Rings fan, but having read the trilogy and seen the movies, I found myself facing a fantasy void.
Fortunately, we now have The Curse Of Garnel Ironheart by Michael J. Schweitzer, the first book in what is to become a trilogy.
The Curse is an exciting, well-written, thought-provoking fantasy novel that held my attention for the full 384 pages. I love the powerful female lead character Arian and her sidekicks, Don-zee and Donal. The plot is full of interesting twists and turns. Basically, if you like Lord Of The Rings, you'll love this book. The Curse fills the void with a great new fantasy story. I can't wait for the remaining books.

Count me among the growing number of readers who have enjoyed getting "cursed." I'm referring of course to The Curse Of Garnel Ironheart, the fabulous new fantasy novel by Michael J. Schweitzer. The book has a very interesting plot with numerous unexpected twists and turns along the way. The Curse also offers an array of fascinating characters, including the strong female hero Arian. I enjoyed this book a great deal and the complete lack of any profanity makes it suitable for people of all ages. I highly recommend everyone should consider getting "cursed."
