Reviews for The Lure of the Basilisk
42 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The Lure of Basilisk is an enjoyable and somewhat atypical fantasy story. It's a quick read, and quite addictive: strangely for me, the strength of it isn't in characters, but just in the fact that it was a little different to the usual fare and I'm curious as to where it goes from here. I want to know who the Forgotten King is, and where he stands on the scales of good and evil, and whether that matters. I'm not so intrigued by Garth -- he's a good character, he's not human and he doesn't act human, but there's not much mystery about him.
I can't remember if I found copies of these books somewhere: I'll have to go digging. I don't want to forget about this and not read the rest of the series.
