*rather shamelessly stealing this idea from belleve ;)

I'm a long way from fifty books so rec me some!P.S. Not rating the books because...well, too much effort, plus, sometimes I hate a book the first time I read it, but then I came to appreciate it when I read it at a later date...so therefore I'm not going to going into details whether or not I

The Gift by Alison Croggon. "This is a fantasy book, with magic, sword fighting, loves, hate, deaths, lives, friends, traitors, tears and joy. This is a dark story, with more sadness than happiness. The chemistry between Maerad and Cadvan works extremely well. In the dark and doomed days, it is the humans fate which will bring joy and humanity. This is an extremely compelling story and I can't wait to read the next installment, "The Riddle".

Clone by Malcolm Rose. "Patrick Finch wants to clone a human being. He is admired by a few, hated by many for his single-mined mission - never mind the ethics or the biological horrors, never mind his family… Then Jordan, Patrick’s son, meets Maynard. He’s a young man with a terrible burden. It’s up to him to change the course of history - the fate of the human race depends on it. But Maynard knows that if he alters the future, he could sacrifice his place in it."
Hope that gives you some idea of what they're like. I love these books, check them out when you can.

Ooooh these both sound really good! I want to go out and buy The Gift right now LOL. Hopefully my local bookstore has them...I looked them both up on online though, and there are copies on sale on a couple of my fave booksites so I guess I'll buy them there if all else fails. For some reason Clone by Malcolm Rose is really expensive on Amazon it's $66.95 - but on Alibris it's only $12.30 which is weird lol. But I'll definitely try to check these two out, thanks! :)

You're welcome. As for Clone, I got for about $9 AU from a bargain book store so I reckon $12 is a pretty good price. It being $66 is just plain odd. :D

I have a feeling the book is out of print...that's normally the reason for Amazon selling books for high prices, most books on Amazon sell for around $7 (paperback)...

Well, there seem to be a good amount of books at amazon.co.uk and they don't seem to be that expensive either.

Hope that helps.
