Best Single Book Read

I've read a few hundred fantasy books and while I prefer series to single books, I found that I liked this one extremely well. In multiple book series, you get to know the characters and see them change. You grow to like/dislike these characters. This is one of the remarkably few books where you get to see all this happen in only a few hundred pages in only ONE book. This is my favorite book in only one volume series. It evoked emotions which only a dozen other books have done. I suggest this book to anyone who wants a true classic in their possession.

This is the book, get it, read it, and read it again and aga

I read ALOT, and this book changed something for me. Before I read this book, I didn't have a favorite book, and now I do, and The Lords of the Sky is it. A driveing plot pushes you to "turn just one more page" untill you find yourself up at 2 in the morning, thinking, I can still get 4 hours sleep if I just read for a half hour more. His plots intertwine and wrap you into his land and builds to a wonderfull climax, then he lets you down gracefully. Even if you never read books like this one, I suggust that you read it, Lords of the Sky is well worth it.

A great book to be read again and again

I don't read books for literary style, I read them for enjoyment, and I throughly enjoyed this book. I would recomend it to anyone. It captivates its reader all the way through.

Thou shalt want this book......

This was the first book that exposed me to the world of fantasy fiction. There was a mixture of love, hate, power and struggle amongst the characters and not only did Wells did a superb job at bringing the characters alive in my mind, this book provided cues to our every day lives, especially when dealing with people of different cultures and races. The description of the sceneries was vivid and the romance between Daviot and Rwyan added spice to the story. Read it and be captivated !

Should be titled "Best of Angus Wells...So Far"

Great read. In my opinion one can see the improvements in style and character development simply by reading his other series. Lords of the Sky clearly stands head and shoulders above the vast majority of his previous work, but hopefully is only a taste of what will be offered in the future
