5.0 out of 5 stars Top-class action fantasy., 6 Sep 2003
By A Customer
Ile-Rien is under attack by an unknown enemy whose terrifying black airships come out of nowhere, armed with a devastating mix of bombs and magic. Every effort at defense has failed and now, as it seems the city must fall, a young woman named Tremaine Valiarde is recruited by the intelligence services.

But Tremaine Valiarde is the daughter of a master criminal, and was raised with the most powerful magician in Ile-Rien as her god-father, and her less-than-conventional upbringing has prepared her for the coming battle.

"The Wizard Hunters" has everything you want in a light adventure fantasy - strong characters, snappy dialogue, a rollercoaster plot with edge-of-the-seat action set-pieces, and of course, the whacking great mystery at the heart of the plot - the sinister, nameless enemy - who and what are they, and what do they want?

The action of "The Wizard Hunters" takes place a generation after the action of Martha Wells' last book, "The Death of the Necromancer", but you don't have to have read the previous book to keep up with the plot. (Although if you haven't read it, get hold of it by any means necessary - it's superb!)

There are only three writers whose work I currently buy in hardcover - Robin Hobb, JK Rowling, and Martha Wells - that's how good she is. Read this book!

2.0 out of 5 stars What is all the fuss about?, 3 Nov 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wizard Hunters: The Fall of Ile-Rien (Mass Market Paperback)
I bought this book with a selection of others from Amazon, and I ended up glad I had something else to read. What struck me most was the sheer laboriousness of the text. I literally couldn't be bothered reading the next paragraph to see what happened next, and for the life of me can't work out what the fuss is about. It's been sitting on my shelf for a while now gathering dust and my numerous attempts to continue reading it in the hope of finding something worthwhile have failed dismally. How can anyone compare this to quality action-fantasy? With almost no prelude, how can we be expected to care who lives and dies? I assume it gets better later on, but it can't be worth the effort of getting there - try reading Laura Resnick or Jennifer Fallon before you attempt this one. Sorry, not my cup of tea.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great start to the series, 15 Nov 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wizard Hunters: The Fall of Ile-Rien (Mass Market Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. Tremaine is probably going to be one of my favorite female characters in fantasy. The story is high adventure, but also a very personal story about the characters.
