3.0 out of 5 stars
Its still fun,
By
This review is from: The Silver Call (Mithgar) (Paperback)
After reading all of the other reviews, I had to chime in. I have read both the LOTR and these books. Clearly, these books use the now classic "Tolkien" recipe for fantasy. But when all was said and done, these books were still fun reading. Are these books as complex as LOTR? No! But they were fun reading. Certainly, any person that reads Fantasy must read Tolkien. And once you read Tolkien you will find that NO other books compare... but that does not mean all other books suck. At the end, I say if you are a "Tolkien Snob" and have read LOTR dozens of times, then don't read this.. it will only make you angry. On the other hand, if you read for fun and enjoy fantasy, I would say give it a whirl... you will most likely enjoy it.

Open Minded,
By Chris Mettier (Sonoma County, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Silver Call (Mithgar) (Paperback)
If you are so obsessed with Tolkien that you find yourself unable to enjoy anything similar to his concepts then don't bother reading these books. They are well written and entertaining. I highly recommend them to anyone who is not so blind and foolish as to be unappreciative of a creative work simply because it is inspired by another creative work. These other reviews remind me of people who refuse to drive any car which is not made by their specific favorite company.

OVERALL SCORE: (A),
By Pequegnat (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Silver Call (Mithgar) (Paperback)
This is a GREAT story, and THANK GOD that there's something out there like Tolkien! Yes, it is very similar to the "Lord of The Rings", perhaps a sequel in a way. No it's not Tolkien, but Tolkiens dead and not writing anything new, so if you want to experience a good story that is very similar.......OVERALL SCORE: (A) READABILITY: (A), PLOT: (B-), CHARATERS: (A), DIALOGUE: (B-), SETTING: (B+), ACTION/COMBAT: (B), MONSTERS/ANTAGONISTS: (B+), ROMANCE: (C), SEX: (n/a), AGE LEVEL: (PG 13)
