Excellent fantasy

I bought this title because an old friend, Jean Targete, illustrated the cover--and WHAT a cover! It took a few chapters to get me caught up in the story and to care about the characters, but once I did, I couldn't put it down. It's good high fantasy, minus the youngster who discovers he/she is of great magical importance, so on and so on. It involves seven levels of the world, one being under the crust where dwarves and "delvers" live, one inhabited by elves and other creatures, such as talking dogs and "druids" from this level/world who are brought over after death to live in eternity. The first character we meet is Natac, an ancient Mexican warrior who finds himself in Naeve (the Center of Everything) after his heart is cut out of his body as a sacrifice. Surprise! He's brought there to help the peaceful race of elves how to defend themselves from what turns out to be a Knight Templar, also brought over (by whom, I wonder?) and madly burning sorceress elves at the stake. OK, so it's complicated, but Douglas Niles will make you understand. I'm looking forward to finishng the trilogy.--written by Jill DeFinis, Filthy's wife :)

Good Read

I have been an avid fan of fantasy since I was young, so of course I love watching movies and reading books about this fantastic subject. I was bored of watching television in my spare time, so I decided to take a chance on Circle at Center. I'm glad I did. This book did take some time getting used to with all the moving around, and fast paced plots, but once over that hurdle, it gets quite good. I have finished the whole series, and I believe that by far it is the best series that I have read- so far... I think it was a good blend of romance, action, lust, disgust, and a little bit of comedy. Sufficed to say, it will remain on my bookshelf for all to see and inquire about.

What a great read!

I have never read a book by Douglas Niles before, but I couldn't help picking up this copy at the store! It looked great from the outside, but reading it was even better! I don't read that much fantasy fiction, but I would recommend this book to anyone. I was interested the whole way through and I still can't wait to read the next one!

Excellent book that starts off good and ends off excellent. I can't wait for the next book to come out in the series in the future. If your a lover of fantasy pick this one up.
