About book Wizard Of The Grove (1999)

This book is actually a duology of two novels written about the same character, Crystal, who is the last wizard. Crystal is a strong female character, which I always appreciate in fantasy novels, and the author adds some light humor and interesting world-building. Unfortunately, the first novel is much stronger than the second one. Whereas the first novel has great world-building and an interesting look at the immortal races, the second novel has a rather ludicrous plot where Lord Death falls in love with Crystal and he spends most of his time moping around for her. Snooze! However, all-in-all, I recommend this for fantasy fans who are looking for female lead characters.

This book is a definite buy for myself. The two novel compilation felt extremely long as I stretched it out to make it last. The first novel Child of the Grove was absolutely fantastic and The Last Wizard was also very, very good. It had almost everything that I was looking for in a fantasy novel. My only complaint would be that it seems to have hasty conclusions, with aspects introduced in the novels that never become important or are mentioned again and endings that leave you wishing there was just a bit more resolution.

I enjoyed the way that Tanya started with character developement of those from the distant past of her main character. It added a real depth to the story and made for a good, solid foundation for Crystal to stand on.Her world had a history that read like an abbreviated Silmarillion (a good thing! *lol*) and hinted at a much richer world. My favorite character was Doan, by far, the rock that tied the timeline together. His personality of gruff exterior covering the tough, caring warrior inside is

I really liked the books. This fantasy world is quite different and although it includes "typical" fantasy creatures (not that I dislike typical fantasy creatures!), they are rather original in characteristics. Crystal is a great heroine and she shares my name, which immediately inclined me to favor her. I'm going to review each book separately.The first book, Child of the Grove, captured me with the beginning tale of creation. I always like it when a novel includes histories and myths of the fi
