5.0 out of 5 stars Love this book and the series is a must read., March 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Adept 2: The Lodge of the Lynx (Paperback)

I find the writing to be wonderful. The historical details, imagery and incorporation of magic into a modern setting are all too rare in sci-fi, occult and fantasy literature. Although the characters are not fully developed as individuals and their interrelationships are not fully explored the excitement and potential for these stories to reflect "authentic" modern occultism more than compensates for these defficiencies. I expect very few books to hold up to the standards of great literature... ie Tolkein, Hardy, Dickens, Doestoevsky etc. and these books are certainly not timeless classics. However, these books are quite pleasant reading for an educated audience and a far cry better than the common pasteboard series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great occult mystery, March 17, 2003

A reader in Southborough (Southborough, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Adept 2: The Lodge of the Lynx (Paperback)

I love occult fiction and a friend recommended the Adept series to me because he knew I liked Dion Fortune's fiction. Unlike Fortune's fiction, this novel won't gift you with verses for your rituals, but it certainly captures the feeling of the astral realms and the battle of good versus evil. Okay, so the hero is wealthy and lives a life of luxury we can only imagine, but, hey, this is a fantasy, no? And what better to fantasize than the genteel life of a British gentleman? Even if one is female (like me), one can still fantasize about such privilege. A very good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mystery AND high magic, what more could you want?, January 13, 2006

Gwendolyn Gary "wisewoman" (North Carolina) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Adept 2: The Lodge of the Lynx (Paperback)

Kurtz does an excellent job of weaving a mystery and giving the Reader an inside glimpse of ritual magic. Each book in this series can easily stand alone, but I recommend reading them all, starting with the first one, of course. If you love a good mystery, and are intrigued by magic, this series is for you!
