4.0 out of 5 stars It Left A Great Deal To Look Forward Too!, July 15, 2001

This review is from: Faragon Fairingay (Circle of Light, Book 2) (Paperback)

After I picked up Faragon Fairingay up at the bookstore, I was very happy to find how well it picked up right where the mayhem in the previous book (Greyfax Grimwald) left off. This book doesn't let up the awesome plot and story line that the series began with in the first book. Now, in Faragon Fairingay, the main trio, the Bear, Dwarf, and Otter, set off once again. They leave the safe confines of the enchanted palace of Cypher on Atlanton Earth under the guidance of a young wizard named Faragon Fairingay. Their goal is to protect the Arkenchest, which has the power to defeat the destructive Dark Queen, Dorini. The three companions must cross the boundary River between Atlanton Earth and the Meadows of the Sun called Calix Stay to bring the Arkenchest to safety from the evils of Dorini. However, along the way through treacherous plains and forests long before they can consider themselves safe. With the aid of Faragon Fairingay's magical workings, the three companions attempt to brave Dorini's dark armies and fearsome creatures to protect the Arkenchest. The odds are growing against the good guys and their time is running short. In conclusion, the book was awesome and it left me in suspense for the third follow-up in the series (Calix Stay), and it gave me a greater appreciation for the struggles that the trio had to endure in their quest to protect the fate of Atlanton Earth. My only beef with it was the fact that this book (like the rest in the series) seem underappreciated and they're out of print too, so they're probably hard to come by. Though, the search for them is totally worth it :)

This review is from: Faragon Fairingay (Circle of Light, Book 2) (Paperback)

This book touches upon the inner youth of adults, and the imagination of children. To go on a grand epic with talking animals! This is the second book in the series where the stage is set to curl up beside a fire place and just enjoy a tale of high imagination and heartfelt wishes.

This review is from: Faragon Fairingay: The Circle of Light, Book 2 (Mass Market Paperback)

When I picked this up, I thought the focus of the book would be about Faragon Fairingay. It wasn't. It was still about a Bear named Bear, an Otter named Otter, and a Dwarf named Broco wandering around lost while everyone else picks up rifles and shoots at each other.

It wasn't good fantasy and it wasn't enjoyable.
