Summary: An exciting new discovery!
Review: Nina Kiriki Hoffman is a new discovery for me, and one long overdue. The Silent Strength of Stones is an excellent introduction to her writing, which -- like contemporaries Charles de Lint, Emma Bull, Terri Windling, etc. -- crafts a highly developed fantasy world within the framework of a thoroughly modern, very real society. Her characters are finely drawn and wholly believable in this setting, and the story resolves neatly while still leaving ample room for a sequel. Hoffman is an exciting writer -- I can't remember the last time I found one who intrigued me this much!

Summary: i hate this book
Review: This book is very confusing. There are too many caracters, their descriptions where not specific and very confusing. I think that is is weird how the author uses foods to describe the way the caracters felt. The book has nothing exciting to make you wish to continue reading. Do not waste your money on this book.

Summary: A very wonderful accidental find!
Review: This book was left at a fire station, donated by one of my husband's co workers, and he brought it home. From the first chapter, I was hooked! It's a wonderful book - someone else described it as "Escape to Witch Mountain" for grownups, with which I wholly agree. It speaks to the longing in everyone who loves fantasy fiction and wishes they were part of the magic, too. I'm ready for more books in this world!

Summary: A lovely introduction
Review: This is childhood wonder and magic at it's best. Just like Jonathan Carroll, Nina Kiriki Hoffman sings her words together is a ballroom dance, giving everything a slightly magically taste. This novel is a wonderful introduction to Ms. Hoffmans works (I will certainly be seeking out more) and a refreshing break from the usual. A entertaining read from start to finish.

Summary: This books was terrific
Review: This was a really great book. It sucks you in and is very hard to put down. Its just enough fantasy and magic for me. An ordinary guy in an ordinary life, and he turns out to be not so ordinary after all. I don't like the whole unicorn and dragon adventure quest type fantasy that is everywhere, and have a hard time finding ones I think I'll like. This was one of them..very different type of fantasy. I wish I knew a category to call it. I don't know what it is about her books, but I just can't get enough, I wish 'Thread that Binds..' wasn't so hard to find. I read the Red Heart of Memories, and then I was immediately hooked on her writing.

Summary: original and fun
Review: Too much fantasy is mired in rote predictability. But Ms. Hoffman's work is unique and original, and she writes a terrific tale. You never know where things are going to turn next. It's good fun and well written.

Summary: It's another book by Nina Kiriki Hoffman!
Review: What else can I say? This writer wraps you up in a world so believable, so tangible that you forget everything else. She makes you laugh and cry and sigh, sometimes all in a single sentence. I have never read anything by Nina that has failed to please and this is yet another winner. This is dark fantasy that chills. She and Joss Whedon should collaborate sometime!
