Format:Hardcover
Absolutely fabulous read unlike anything else I've read with the possible exception of Satyricon, which is also in a class by itself by virtue of being so strange and wonderulf. Full of phantasmagoric imagery with an over the top fantasy storyline, Calenture also provides intense drama as well as much food for thought. The framing device of the story is also extraordinarily well done, turning a cliche on its head and providing an ending which far exceded my expecations, which were very high considering the build-up throughout the book and my admiration for this author. This book is a true work of art and a classic I can imagine being studied in schools one day as a prime example of an author whose imagination truly creates magic out of words.
Format:Paperback
This is a book to get lost in, a dream, a narrative of a dissipative reality that is both impossible and unsettlingly close. I did not like the amateurish cover picture, this book deserves something powerful and surreal on its cover.

This book is an exploration of realities. It was the first Storm Constantine book I read and it inspired me to seek out more of her work. In it you are never sure if the character Casmeer has invented the other lead characters, or if they exist elsewhere in his world. Combine that with stunning imagery (flying cities following paths of stones on the ground) and totally involving characterisation and you have an incredible book. I have read it many times and still keep going back. Every reading reveals a new level. A must for all fans of fantasy.
