Fantasy: 3 titles

The Golden Compass by Phillip Pulman

       This is the first book in his series called His Dark Materials. The books take place in a parallel universe, where your soul walks beside you as a daemon. The main character Lyra is a young girl who wants to save her friends, and understand the olythieometer (I think I spelled that wrong).  All the books in the series are amazing but this starts it all out. 

A good book for young adults, or even adults.

  

 

Talon of the Silver Hawk by Raymond E. Feist

       This is the first book in the series Conclave of Shadows. I have not read the other books but I flat love this one. 

"Evil has come to a distant land high among the snow-capped mountains of Midkemia, as an exterminating army wearing the colors of the Duke of Olasko razes village after village, slaughtering men, women, and children without mercy. And when the carnage is done, only one survivor remains: a young boy named Kieli. A youth no longer, there is now but one road for him to travel: the path of vengeance. And he will not be alone. Under the tutelage of the rescuers who discovered him, Kieli will be molded into a sure and pitiless weapon. And he will accept the destiny that has been chosen for him ... as Talon of the Silver Hawk.

But the prey he so earnestly stalks is hunting him as well. And Talon must swear allegiance to a shadowy cause that already binds his mysterious benefactors -- or his mission, his honor,and his life will be lost forever."    The description is from Amazon.

 

The last book is Fire Bringer by David Clement-Davies. I've read his other series called The Sight and loved it, before I read this. I figured I wouldn't like it cause it is about elk, and I am more of a wolf person but I still gave it a shot.    To say I like this book is an understatement. I know I've read it four times since the first. 

"Young buck Rannoch was born on the night his father was murdered and into a herd of deer where hunger for power has gradually whittled away at all that is true and good. He knows he must escape to survive. Chased by stags, with their fearsome antlers sharpened for the kill, he begins a treacherous journey into the unknown, and ahead of him lies a shocking and formidable search for truth and goodwill in the shadow of the Great Mountain. One day he will have to return to his home and face his destiny among the deer to fulfill the prophecy that has persistently given them hope: that one day a fawn will be born with the mark of an oak leaf on his forehead and that fawn's courage will lead all the deer to freedom. Filled with passion and a darkness that gradually, through Rannoch's courage in the face of adversity, lifts to reveal an overwhelming feeling of light, Fire Bringer is a tremendous, spirited story that takes the reader deep into the hearts and minds of its characters as they fight for their right to live in peace."  The description comes from Goodreads.
If you like the Warriors series, Guardians of Gahoole, even the Incredible Journey this should be a book you like.

Good Day and Good Reading
