5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best books I've read, September 10, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Lords of Destruction (Frank Frazetta's Death Dealer) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is one of the best books I've ever read. The whole series is just killer. If you like in your face and no-holds barred fantasy this is the series for you. I own the series once and lost it. I'm dying to get it again. the books have everything you could ask for in a series. Action, magic, suspense, and the good guys aren't always the nicest people nor do they always survive. For any SciFi/Fantasy buff this is the series to get. Have a nice day!!!!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good entertainment (no more, no less), November 8, 2000
This review is from: Lords of Destruction (Frank Frazetta's Death Dealer) (Mass Market Paperback)
I had been a long time away from reading fantasy when I picked this one. It brought me back into fantasy stuff. The books strong points are it's agile storytelling and it's bizarre concepts. The author isn't excessively wordy, doesn't describe the settings and actions neither more nor less than he should. Concise writing. Good. He is also a little on the twisted side, as far as his villains are concerned. The evil on them is not comic book evil, or James Bond films evil - which are "light" villains. Silke's bad guys are "heavy"; really insane and mean. They don't need to boast to be cruel. There's a lot of sexuality in the book, which, added to the violence, would make me label it dark fantasy. And good one at that. For fans of the genre (who aren't disturbed by strong violence), I recommend it.

Simply excellent, April 20, 1999

This review is from: Lords of Destruction (Frank Frazetta's Death Dealer) (Mass Market Paperback)
I picked this one up in an antiques/collectibles shop while wandering around the books section. I had just enough money to get it. I pondered for a couple minutes, then thought "What the heck, it looks good. If not, it'll look nice on the 'Mideival Novels' section of my bookshelf.". I brought it home and started reading. Within five minutes, I was hooked. I finished it in 2 days, mostly due to my sudden inability to put it down. Then I read it again. I thought "Wow! I've never read a better fantasy novel in my life!". And that's saying a LOT. This inspired me to read the whole series. I started with book 1, then read book 2 again. I just finished book 3. On to 4! I would recommend this book to anyone interested in warriors, enchantments, monsters, gloom and doom, death in general, cool-ass characters, or just a good book.
