Cultual Breaks by Brian Aldiss Reviewed by Paul Kincaid Brian Aldiss is an amazing and frustrating writer.When he is on song,his style is forceful,disturbing and delectable.But he is a restless writer.He came into his own in the enthusiastic and experimental atmosphere of the New Wave,and he has been driven to try the new and the different ever since.That he is still experimenting now,50years after his first appearance,is a measure of a man who has never been prepared to settle back on his laurels. | |
The Secrets of Jin-Shei by Alma Alexander Reviewed by Donna McMahon With so many fantasy novels using European-derived settings and mythology,ancient China makes a refreshing change.The landscape is tempting and yet familiar enough to feel very real,and the author uses magic sparingly,in ways appropriate to her society.This and the complex detail put into the backdrop makes the novel feel very much like historical fiction. | |
Straken by Terry Brooks Reviews by Nathan Brazil The third novel in the High Druid of Shannara series jumps straight back into the story where it left off.It continues the quest of unlikely hero Penderrin Ohmsford.Now equipped with the means to break in-and back out-of the Forbidding,where his aunt,the overthrown Ard Phys of Druids,is stranded,Pen must first get back to Paranor.His rescue attempt can only begin from within the chamber where Grianne Ohmsford disappeared.Unfortunately,this will deliver him straight into the hands of those responsible for his aunt's disappearance. |
