3.0 out of 5 stars Is there another book?, July 7, 1999

This review is from: Master of Fiends (Library Binding)

I read this book a long time ago, and thought it was okay, althought the first, blade of the posioner was better.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a third book in the series? I still have a lot of questions...

5.0 out of 5 stars fast-paced, no wasted space, June 22, 2001

This review is from: Master of Fiends (Library Binding)

When I first read this, I got the feel of increasing energy as the book moved along, building up to a feverish pitch at the end where all hell breaks loose. The result was me hammering my fists to the floor in exhultation!

...reponding to the comment about Latin puns: I had no idea! However this does not annoy me. It actually increases my repect of Hill. I did not expect any type of hidden meaning in a book intended for young adults. Bravo!

This review is from: Master of Fiends (Piper) (Paperback)

I first read this book when I was around 13. It stayed with me, the perfect adventure-fantasy for a young boy.

I finally bought it after 10 years, and while the flaws show up now (but then, it was not meant to be a literary classic), it still has the capacity to entertain and enthrall, with sympathetic lead characters you root for, plenty of thrills, and vivid detailing.
