zarkinpants's book review was featured in The Horse and His Boy (Evergreen Library).
Shasta, a boy living in the kingdom of Calormen, where people wear curled shoes and turbans, overhears that his "father" is going to sell him as a slave, so he decides that he should run away. He meets a talking horse named Breehy-hinny-brinny-hoohy-hah, also known as Bree, and begin their journey for "Narnia and the north!". On the way, they encounter a girl named Aravis, the daughter of a Tarkaan, who is running away because her father is forcing her to marry a disgusting old man, who's also riding a talking horse! While passing through the great city of Tashbaan, the capital of Calormen, Shasta gets mistaken for the prince of Archenland and hears that Prince Rabbadash, the very important son of the Tisroc, wants to marry Queen Susan, and isn't going to let the Narnians go unless she marries him! Shasta also hears from Aravis that the prince is assembling a band of two hundred men to invade Archenland! Shasta will have to get to Archenland before Rabbadash! How will he manage? The book was exciting and funny, and the illustrations were good!Over 1 year agozarkinpants added a book review.

Over 1 year agozarkinpants's book review was featured in The Tombs of Atuan (Earthsea Cycle).
For as long as she can remember, Arha has been the High Priestess of the Nameless Ones, the ancient and powerful beings who have existed since the beginning of time. She lives in the Place of the Tombs, a remote place with temples to the Nameless Ones, along with the Godking, the ruler of the Kargad Lands. Since she was picked as the Priestess, she is known only as Arha, the Eaten One in the Kargish language. Under the Place of Tombs is a massive maze of corridors, the Labyrinth, which protects the Tomb's most sacred treasures. One day, a stranger from the Inner Lands comes into the Labyrinth, seeking the Ring of Erreth Akbe, the Tomb's most valuable object. Arha's duty as the Priestess of the Nameless Ones is to sacrifice the man, who says his name is Sparrowhawk, but he is a mage and brings tales of life beyond the desert. Will Arha kill Sparrowhawk or risk her life escaping the Nameless Ones? I really liked the author's writing style, and I recommend The Tombs of Atuan to anyone who enjoys reading fantasy stories.Over 1 year agozarkinpants added a book review.
