The Silver Sun

This book, which is among Ms Springer's earlier works, is a great read. Springer is a great storyteller, so while I was not surprised at the story's end, I didn't mind taking in the sights along the way. I enjoyed Springer's references to the religious/cultural customs of past societies, without bogging the story down with largely unnecessary explanations. They simply add a backdrop which gives the story a richer and more believable flavor.While it is now out of print, the paperback version can be inexpensively obtained from a number of used sources. Give it a try.

This is perhaps one ot the best written fantasy novels of the decade. The storyline is superior, writing style is captivating, and the reader becomes a part of the manuscript.Being a fantasy novel author, I fully appreciate the great efforts that Nancy Springer put into creating characters that the reader can relate to and understand. Her descriptive quality of writing is fantastic.I highly recommend this book to readers of fantasy of all ages.Dave

This is without a doubt the best book ever written. Known by another name The Book Of Suns Nancy Springer is my favorite author and love everything she has written she is what made me want to become a writter myself.

I read this book when I was fifteen, and still think it's one of the greatest works of literature I've ever read. This is the store of Alan, and his blood brother Hal, as they struggle to fight against an evil king, find the women they love, and fulfill their destinies.This novel has some great characterization, and Springer does a great job of portraying the complexities of life in Isle. I only wish they could reprint this series. This is one of her best books!A must read for fantasy lover and for readers who enjoy complex characterization.

My cousin gave me this book when I was about fourteen, along with the Silver Sun and Sable Moon. I'm now 18, and still read and reread the books. I love them!!! The Silver Sun is definitely the best. Everyone should read them. I am also glad to know there are more books about them. The Book of Suns also is about the world Isle that is the world of Alan and Hal.
