Circle at Center: great story, but slow down.
18 July 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The fantasy world that Niles has created is incredible. I like the whole concept of the seven circles, especially since he has found a way to tie earth into the story.He has some interesting new charecters, such as the Delvers and wyslets that lurk in the First Circle. However, there are a few things that I would have liked him to describe in more detail. First, he concept of the Goddess Worldweaver. I have read the Wheel of Time series by Rober Jordan, and the Goddes Worldweaver seems very similar to Jordan's concept of the Wheel and the Pattern.I would have liked Niles to elaborate on this in more detail, as well as some of his characters. He did a splendid job in portraying the Delver Dwarves, Natac,and Sir Christopher, but i would have liked to have known more about some of the other characters such as Tam, the druids, Nistel, Rawknuckle Barefist (great name), and all the other creatures of Nayve in general.Overall, the storyline was great, but it moved too fast. I think the book could have probably been spread out over three. Niles has some great ideas though, and I would definately recomend the book to all lovers of high fantasy.

Good Read
15 Nov 2005
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I have been an avid fan of fantasy since I was young, so of course I love watching movies and reading books about this fantastic subject. I was bored of watching television in my spare time, so I decided to take a chance on Circle at Center. I'm glad I did. This book did take some time getting used to with all the moving around, and fast paced plots, but once over that hurdle, it gets quite good. I have finished the whole series, and I believe that by far it is the best series that I have read- so far... I think it was a good blend of romance, action, lust, disgust, and a little bit of comedy. Sufficed to say, it will remain on my bookshelf for all to see and inquire about.

Excellent fantasy
26 Aug 2008
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I bought this title because an old friend, Jean Targete, illustrated the cover--and WHAT a cover! It took a few chapters to get me caught up in the story and to care about the characters, but once I did, I couldn't put it down. It's good high fantasy, minus the youngster who discovers he/she is of great magical importance, so on and so on. It involves seven levels of the world, one being under the crust where dwarves and "delvers" live, one inhabited by elves and other creatures, such as talking dogs and "druids" from this level/world who are brought over after death to live in eternity. The first character we meet is Natac, an ancient Mexican warrior who finds himself in Naeve (the Center of Everything) after his heart is cut out of his body as a sacrifice. Surprise! He's brought there to help the peaceful race of elves how to defend themselves from what turns out to be a Knight Templar, also brought over (by whom, I wonder?) and madly burning sorceress elves at the stake. OK, so it's complicated, but Douglas Niles will make you understand. I'm looking forward to finishng the trilogy.--written by Jill DeFinis, Filthy's wife :)
