Book Reviews of The Wizard Hunters: Book One of the Fall of Ile-Rien (The Fall of Ile-Rien, Bk. 1)

Book Review: Top-class action fantasy.
Summary: 5 Stars

Ile-Rien is under attack by an unknown enemy whose terrifying black airships come out of nowhere, armed with a devastating mix of bombs and magic. Every effort at defense has failed and now, as it seems the city must fall, a young woman named Tremaine Valiarde is recruited by the intelligence services.

But Tremaine Valiarde is the daughter of a master criminal, and was raised with the most powerful magician in Ile-Rien as her god-father, and her less-than-conventional upbringing has prepared her for the coming battle.

"The Wizard Hunters" has everything you want in a light adventure fantasy - strong characters, snappy dialogue, a rollercoaster plot with edge-of-the-seat action set-pieces, and of course, the whacking great mystery at the heart of the plot - the sinister, nameless enemy - who and what are they, and what do they want?

The action of "The Wizard Hunters" takes place a generation after the action of Martha Wells' last book, "The Death of the Necromancer", but you don't have to have read the previous book to keep up with the plot. (Although if you haven't read it, get hold of it by any means necessary - it's superb!)

There are only three writers whose work I currently buy in hardcover - Robin Hobb, JK Rowling, and Martha Wells - that's how good she is. Read this book!
