Publisher's Summary:

The words "help me!" trigger an awe-inspiring jaunt through the multiverses that comprise the cosmos of Morpheus, Scanner Prime to the Queen of Korynthia in Nova Europa. Faced with the consequences of his vision of collapse, not only for his own country, but for all of the civilized universe, Morpheus must somehow find a single prisoner on one of the infinity of alternate earths among the Otherworlds. Accompanied by his faithful wherret, Scooter, and by a band of loyal cutthroats and adventurers, Morpheus prepares to embark on a quest that will whisk him from world to world.

In the final novel of the series, Morpheus must confront his greatest challenge - restoring the balance of the universe itself. Everything is gradually coming apart, and only he has the ability to renew the energy of the aether.

But before the mage can do that, he must learn how to connect with the others around him - human as well as alien - beginning with a planet called Festuca that has experienced a man-made ecological disaster that has condemned millions to a slow death by starvation. If he can't cure the microcosm, how can he possibly heal the macrocosm?

Third in a great, light-hearted fantasy trilogy

This is the final book in the light-hearted fantasy trilogy, The Hypatomancer's Tale, by Robert Reginald.

Some plot spoilers follow, but reading the rest of this review won't ruin your enjoyment of the story.

Once again, we follow the adventures of the hypatomancer (a fortune-telling wizard, though the predictions of the future are mostly moved off-stage here) Morpheus, who still has an uncompleted quest to rescue a woman he's never met who is held prisoner in another dimension. Morpheus and his companions must travel a long way through a series of alternate dimensions where things get stranger and stranger. But before he can continue his quest, Morpheus feels morally obligated to do what he can to repair the dying ecosystem of a world that has been afflicted with a man-made disaster beyond the control of its inhabitants. Inevitably, Morpheus' quest does not turn out at all the way he (or the reader most likely) expected, but that's all part of the fun. There are plenty of unexpected twists, turns, and betrayals along the way. The job of a savior of the universe is never an easy one.

As with many (all?) of Reginald's fiction, this is a journey of self-discovery as much as it is a quest to save the universe. Morpheus' internal development is at least as important as the development of the plot and the quest as a whole. Like all too many of us, Morpheus begins the trilogy fairly self-oriented. He is embroiled with his own personal concerns, mostly to the exclusion of caring about other people and situations all around him. He has never really forged meaningful personal relationships - familial, romantic, or platonic - and has come to realize that without these connections, his own life is meaningless. The trilogy does a good job of showcasing Morpheus' personal transformation and journey as he realizes that he needs other people as much as they need him.

Reginald's prose flows smoothly and is delightfully clever as always. The secondary characters - Morpheus' companions for the most part - continue to amuse.

Publisher's Summary:

GAME OF THRONES: A NEW ORIGINAL SERIES, NOW ON HBO.

Few books have captivated the imagination and won the devotion and praise of readers and critics everywhere as has George R. R. Martins monumental epic cycle of high fantasy that began with A Game of Thrones. Now, in A Feast for Crows, Martin delivers the long-awaited fourth book of his landmark series, as a kingdom torn asunder finds itself at last on the brink of peace . . . only to be launched on an even more terrifying course of destruction.

A Feast for Crows

It seems too good to be true. After centuries of bitter strife and fatal treachery, the seven powers dividing the land have decimated one another into an uneasy truce. Or so it appears. . . . With the death of the monstrous King Joffrey, Cersei is ruling as regent in Kings Landing. Robb Starks demise has broken the back of the Northern rebels, and his siblings are scattered throughout the kingdom like seeds on barren soil. Few legitimate claims to the once desperately sought Iron Throne still existor they are held in hands too weak or too distant to wield them effectively. The war, which raged out of control for so long, has burned itself out.

But as in the aftermath of any climactic struggle, it is not long before the survivors, outlaws, renegades, and carrion eaters start to gather, picking over the bones of the dead and fighting for the spoils of the soon-to-be dead. Now in the Seven Kingdoms, as the human crows assemble over a banquet of ashes, daring new plots and dangerous new alliances are formed, while surprising facessome familiar, others only just appearingare seen emerging from an ominous twilight of past struggles and chaos to take up the challenges ahead.

Critic Reviews:

"Of those who work in the grand epic-fantasy tradition, Martin is by far the best.... [He] is a tense, surging, insomnia-inflicting plotter and a deft and inexhaustible sketcher of personalities.... This is as good a time as any to proclaim him the American Tolkien." (

Time)

"The only fantast series I'd put on a level with J.R.R. Tolkein's The Lord of the Rings. It's a fantasy series for hip, smart people, even those who don't read fantasy. If you're new to the series, you must begin with Book 1,

A Game of Thrones. Once you're hooked. you'll be like the rest of us fans, gnawing your knuckles until book 5 (Marta Salij,

Detroit Free Press)

THE MOST impressive modern fantasy, both in terms of conception and execution, is George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. A masterpiece that will be mentioned with the great works of fantasy. (

Contra Costa Times)

Jarring change in Dotrice's performance

If you, like me, have been listening to the Song of Ice and Fire Series as read by Roy Dotrice, then odds are you've grown accustomed to not only the delivery, but the wide range of character voices that Dotrice handles so well. You've probably come to recognize some of your favorite characters just by the voice he uses to portray them. If so, you will find A Feast for Crows to be a rather jarring listen, at least initially.

First, a bit of history. When the audio release for this book in the series was first recorded in 2005, Roy Dotrice was not available, and the book was instead read by John Lee.

Title: Titus Awakes

Author: Maeve Gilmore, Mervyn Peake

Narrator: Edmund Dehn

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 17 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-12-11

Publisher: Isis Publishing Ltd

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Epic

Publisher's Summary:

When Peake died in 1968, he left behind the start of a fourth Gormenghast book, Titus Awakes. His wife, the writer and artist Maeve Gilmore, completed the manuscript. The book continues the story of the Titus, the 77th Earl of Groan, as he wanders in the modern world and finds his final resting place in Sark.

Members Reviews:

so so - a good attempt

Not even close to the power of original trillogy, but Mr Peake's widow does an admirable attempt to continue Titus's journey through life in his style and in tribute to him. Does not have the depth of the originals, but it would be difficult for anyone to match Mr. Peake's masterful works. We are talking about an author who several people I know have avidly read the first two books then been so shocked part way into the third that they could not finish it! It meanders aimlessly, but not with the deliberate planned apparent meanderings of parts of the originals. Some things seems to have no real purpose at all when compared to the originals. However I enjoyed for it what it was and the tribute to a great author so sadly taken from us. The only real disappointment was that it's kinda billed as closure, but there virtually is no closure at all. It deliberately seems to leave the door open for another sequel - which would be a huge mistake.

An Intimate End For Titus

It would be unfair to judge this book against Mervyn Peake's great works. Yet I would recommend this book to any reader who has loved those stories. Initially, Maeve Gilmore's narrative attempts to add to Titus' journey. However, as the story progresses the tale begins to change shape. In the end this isn't simply an addition to the Gormenghast stories. Instead the reader is exposed to an intimate display of the love and respect and loss Maeve Gilmore felt with for her husband. It isn't exactly Gormenghast but I feel privileged to have been allowed to read this book.

Don't bother reading... Use your imagination instead.

I purchased this book thinking it would give "closure" toTitus' story. However, the writing is simplistic and redundant (and absolutely no comparison to the earlier Gormenghast books-- which Mervyn Peake wrote--where he used language so beautifully and provided such depth of descriptive joy). I actually thought of not even finishing it (something I almost never do...) as I really disliked Titus as he is presented here. This character is narcissistic, passive, and immature. What happened to the child rebel? This guy is a wus!!

Mrs. Peake Is Not Her Husbandâ

The paperback edition of this book from Vintage Books has already gone out of print, despite being published in 2011, and one can see why a few pages into this continuation of the Gormenghast trilogy or (the more politically correct term) 'the Titus books'. Not that the edition is poor; the type is pleasant, the cover is apt, and the introduction is above average. But the contentsâoh, those contentsâ

Now, Mr. Peake being an unparalleled literary genius, a true wordsmith as few could ever hope to be, nothing Maeve Gilmore could do could possibly begin to fill such immense shoes. The first two Titus books are glorious; the last is decidedly mixed and full of vexations. Gilmore, in leaning more heavily on Titus Alone than Titus Groan or Gormenghast, has made her first error.

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Epic

Publisher's Summary:

Dubbed the American Tolkien by Time magazine, George R. R. Martin has earned international acclaim for his monumental cycle of epic fantasy. Now the number-one New York Times best-selling author delivers the fifth book in his spellbinding landmark series - as both familiar faces and surprising new forces vie for a foothold in a fragmented empire.

In the aftermath of a colossal battle, the future of the Seven Kingdoms hangs in the balance once again - beset by newly emerging threats from every direction. In the east, Daenerys Targaryen, the last scion of House Targaryen, rules with her three dragons as queen of a city built on dust and death. But Daenerys has three times 3,000 enemies, and many have set out to find her. Yet, as they gather, one young man embarks upon his own quest for the queen, with an entirely different goal in mind.

To the north lies the mammoth Wall of ice and stone - a structure only as strong as those guarding it. There, Jon Snow, 998th Lord Commander of the Nights Watch, will face his greatest challenge yet. For he has powerful foes not only within the Watch but also beyond, in the land of the creatures of ice.

And from all corners, bitter conflicts soon reignite, intimate betrayals are perpetrated, and a grand cast of outlaws and priests, soldiers and skinchangers, nobles and slaves, will face seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Some will fail, others will grow in the strength of darkness. But in a time of rising restlessness, the tides of destiny and politics will lead inevitably to the greatest dance of all.

Critic Reviews:

"Martin has produced--is producing, since the series isn't over--the great fantasy epic of our era. ... his skill as a crafter of narrative exceeds that of almost any literary novelist writing today." (Lev Grossman,

Time)

"Martin's love for sophisticated, deeply strange fantasy permeates Dance like a phantasmagorical fever dreamMartin seems poised in the last two books to bring home one of the best series in the history of fantasy." (Jeff Vandermeer,

Los Angeles Times)

"Fans of A Song of Ice and Fire will surely think the wait was worth it. ... The great attraction of the story must lie in its panorama of a medieval kingdom: knights in armor, mercenary sellswords,' tavern wenches, struggling and surviving inhabitants in all forms, from low to high." (Tom Shippey,

Wall Street Journal)

Where do Whores Go?

This is the fifth book in the series, if you have not read them do not start here. This is the best Fantasy series being written today, so go to book one and enjoy.

For those that have read the earlier ones, I placed this third in the series of what I liked. Book 3 was the best then book 1. This is a character driven series and has some of the best characters of any series written. The book starts with Tyrion who is my favorite of all characters of all books. Tyrion is as witty or more so in this book, unfortunately he is about the only main character who does anything and even his character does not seem to have a purpose. There is no plot to this book, it just a tie-up of what each character is thinking. With the exception of Tyrion and Reek, everything else is just Wind. The exploits of Tyrion and Reek make this book worth the credits and 49 hours of listening.
