For people who enjoyed Lord of the Rings, not just hardcore fantasy readers but those who enjoy a good story in a fantastic setting, The Curse of Garnel Ironheart will provide a satisfying read. The characters are believable, the story moves at a good pace and the ending both brings proper closure to the story and sets up the promised sequel in a subtle fashion. A must for people looking for a book that will keep them entertained the whole way through

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."

I would give the story itself a 5, particularly when you consider that this is a first novel. I enjoyed the story very much and look forward to reading other novels from this author. My one complaint with the book has to do with the editing. I found a lot of purely editing related errors which I found detracted from the overall experience (thus the 4 out of 5). I would highly recommend this book and look forward to the sequel which I'm told is due out next month.
