Original. 75,000 first printing. Reviews of the THE BROKEN BLADE (Dark Sun Chronicles of Athas) by Simon Hawke PDF Skunk Black This book is okay. It's not great, it's not lousy, it's right in the middle. On the one hand the author does a nice job of fleshing out some of the Dark Sun world and he creates some interesting characters. His skills in writing are perfectly fine and enjoyable. Where he completely fails is by not only making his protagonist completely over-powered he also seems to take the easy route. Instead of the character having to use his wits to discover the plots against him, he spontaneously gains the ability to see the future. Simon starts to create some worthy opponents for Sorak to fight at the end of the book but then again grants him superpowers that completely dismiss any danger to the character. It would be like if you were watching "Aliens" and then in the last twenty minutes we find out that Ripley is actually Superman in disguise and is completely immune to anything the aliens can throw at her.

  • Defining Fantasy
    1 DEFINING FANTASY by Steven S. Long This article is my take on what makes a story Fantasy, the major elements that tend to appear in Fantasy, and perhaps most importantly what the different subgenres of Fantasy are (and what distinguishes them). I’ve adapted it from Chapter One of my book Fantasy Hero, available from Hero Games at www.herogames.com, by eliminating or changing most (but not all) references to gaming and gamers. My insights on Fantasy may not be new or revelatory, but hopefully they at least establish a common ground for discussion. I often find that when people talk about Fantasy they run into trouble right away because they don’t define their terms. A person will use the term “Swords and Sorcery” or “Epic Fantasy” without explaining what he means by that. Since other people may interpret those terms differently, this leads to confusion on the part of the reader, misunderstandings, and all sorts of other frustrating nonsense. So I’m going to define my terms right off the bat. When I say a story is a Swords and Sorcery story, you can be sure that it falls within the general definitions and tropes discussed below. The same goes for Epic Fantasy or any other type of Fantasy tale. Please note that my goal here isn’t necessarily to persuade anyone to agree with me — I hope you will, but that’s not the point. What I call “Epic Fantasy” you may refer to as “Heroic Fantasy” or “Quest Fantasy” or “High Fantasy.” I don’t really care.
