gorgeous art direction
Can be highly divisive due to just how different and bold some of its gameplay decisions were; when either narrative or world design falter, the game can noticeably suffer (0 more)
A bold, daring, and different chapter of a series that up-ended our expectations for what Final Fantasy should be—and all these years later, those elements are part of the reason why I still think it’s one of the best entries we’ve ever received.

A Star-Reckoner's Lot was unlike anything I have read before. This story was part historical fiction, part fantasy, and all adventure. I was not at all familiar with pre-Islamic Iranian culture and lore before reading this book. The author didn't waste words on excessive description, or spell everything out for the reader, but it was easy enough to figure out what was going on just by following Ashtadukht, Tirdadin, and Waray across the sands as they hunt for the mystical being that killed Ashtadukht's husband. Fantasy lovers, historical fiction fans, and anyone who likes a good story should really enjoy this book.

Fantastic world/concept
Beautiful
True story telling, beautifully written. I was led through the story like a dream, completely immersed. I couldn't put it down. The writing is fantastic, I don't remember the text ever really explaining the concepts of the books (e.g. by characters explaining them) but somehow I found myself truely understanding it.

Plus the concept and fantasy world being is beautifully captivating.

This us how you write LGBTQ+ literature, no tokenism just pure story. I love the romance and felt everything I think the author entailed.

I would highly recommend this to all fantasy lovers - so glad I picked this up randomly in the library. This NEEDS to be talked about more!

Dragon Prince ( Dragon prince book 1)
By Melanie Rawn

Nominated for the 1989 John W. Campbell Award, this book tells the story of Rohan, who has become the new prince of the desert. Rohan seeks to bring peace to his world of divided nations.




This was loaned to me from a friend and I’m so glad she did! The world and character building was just fantastic. Despite it having a very intricate story it was done so well and flowed nicely. Reminds me of those fantasy stories that were so popular in the 80s so it was nice to read a book full of fantasy and adventure. Looking forward to reading more by this author!
