Fantasy with an Imagination Boost,
By Alan Cane (Dallas, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: For the Crown and the Dragon (Paperback)
Just finished reading For the Crown and the Dragon and I was pleasantly surprised by just how much Stephen Hunt has managed to inject new life into - let's face it - what can sometimes be a very clichéd genre. While sticking enough to the conventions of the sword and sorcery form, he's booted a unique steampunk'ish feel into his novel. The book reminds me a little of the energised style of China Miéville's Perdido Street Station or The Scar, although I see from the inside jacket that Hunt's work predates Perdido Street by seven years. I would have given this novel a resounding five stars, but I was a little annoyed that it leaves the reader hanging at the end. When's the concluding novel in the 'duology' coming out please?

Enchanting Sword and Sorcery Story,
By Lucy Pinner (Walworth, GB) - See all my reviews
This review is from: For the Crown and the Dragon (Paperback)
I came upon 'For The Crown' by chance, but now I am very glad I read this novel. It enchants you right into the story, and keeps on going at a fast enough clip to encourage you to read on until late into the night; very compelling. I advise all fantasy fans to give this series a go.

Swashbuckling Tale,
By Bob Valade (Isle of Wight, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: For the Crown and the Dragon (Paperback)
Right at the start, this is a swashbuckling book. It is set up during the 18th century, with a strange parallel reality fantasy-land forming a background for the story.This book got me interested because of the characters, a small military company of losers and lunatics. These guys are funny to follow around, struggling in a situation they want nothing to do with. My only complaint is that I think it would have been more successful as a story if the actual journey started much sooner than it did. I give it 5 stars because I was never bored reading it, indeed it makes for a very exciting, quick read. You won't be disapointed.
