A great book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Born to Run (Serrated Edge Novel) (Paperback)
Definitely one of Lackeys best books! If you like elves (celtic ones), magic, action, humour and Lackeys writing read this. (If you want to spare a little money buy the Chrome Borne, it contains this and another great book from Lackey, Chrome Circle.)

the perfect hero!,
By "lorana" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Born to Run: A Novel of the Serrated Edge (Mass Market Paperback)
The best part of this book is the hero/main character, Tannim; a human mage who has a big heart with a soft spot for kids in tough places. He shares this sentiment with the good elves who race cars to get money becaues you just can't hand over a handful of silver coins to a needy mother these days without something going wrong!(what ever happened to those good old days?) I loved to follow this infectiously lovable and completely human character on his jaunts through the real world and the not so real. His faults are completely believable and make you like the guy all the more (if that is even possible) and makes you hold you breath as he gets into scrapes and hard spots galore! If you don't fall in love with Tannim and wish to hear more and more and more about him, you really need to see a doctor because you head isn't working too well! (No offense!) A great read and worth every penny!

I liked it so much, I gave it away.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Born to Run: A Novel of the Serrated Edge (Mass Market Paperback)
I am part of a scifi/fantasy reading group that gets together once a month to discuss a book that we read the month before, and when this title was selected, I was not very enthusiastic. Very simply, the title, cover art and back cover blurb ("Fast Elves, hot cars and rock'n roll!" or something to that effect)just didnt seem like my particular cup of tea. So, imagine my suprise when I found it to be quite enjoyable. Great characters, brilliant concept (once I got used to the idea) and very well written. I finished it on a plane from Chicago to Los Angeles and the guy sitting next to me was in the Navy, and through our smalltalk discovered that he liked fantasy fiction. When I showed him this book, he stated that he didnt think he would like it, for pretty much the same reasons I assumed I wouldn't. I suggested he give it a try and gave him my copy. I guess I will never know whether he enjoyed it as much as I did, but its kind of interesting to think that my copy of this book is now in the library of a USNavy ship off the coast of Japan.

very well done, in a fantastical realality way.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Born to Run: A Novel of the Serrated Edge (Mass Market Paperback)
Mercedes Lackey and larry Dixon have done a wonderful job of outlining some of the dangers that face kids nowadays and what gets them into the situations that they will end up in when they try to leave home to fend for themselves too early, but feel that their homelife is too much to take anymore. The way they are saved is nice to think of but we all know that it woudn't happen. The main characters are easy to identify with for all ages and are well formed, rounded. All in all a romp through modern times with a skew on some truths all for the better.
