What are you reading the week of Sunday, December 21, 2014 (Winter Solstice)? [View all]

Continuing the Chronicles of the Denyri Vol II Denyri Checkmate by Katherine Kurtz. I'm about 1/3 of the way through and have the 3rd in the series waiting, High Denyri. These have been lots of fun and are fairly fast reads. I would agree with Booksellers comment on the back of Vol II that these "books have the promise of Tolkien or Eddison" - well maybe Eddison as I don't know his work. As he was a contemporary of Tolkein and Lewis sometimes sitting in with the Inklings he might be worth a try.

If anyone is familiar with E.R. Eddison's books give a review please.
