To Ride Hell's Chasm

Author: Wurts, Janny

Wurts is one of the more underrated fantasy authors in the genre; she's written many book, but perhaps her most fun, most thrilling book is her stand alone To Ride Hell's Chasm, a novel that squeezes in all the qualities that make Wurts one of the most talented writers in the genre without the negative ones (her propensity for creating huge series with thick, ornate prose).Because of this, To Ride Hell's Chasm, while over 700 pages long, is her most accessible work -- and, as the title indicates, is a one fast paced and exciting ride. It's a tale that's fast paced yet still retains depth; a story about man with a tragic failure of a past who is given the chance to right it. And in the midst of it, maybe just save a princess and a land and a kingdom from demons and sorcerers.
