Reviews:
-"This update to Herald's Fluent in Fantasy: A Guide to Reading Interests (Libraries Unlimited, 1999) features many titles published in the interim. The organization is quite similar, with many identically titled chapters and others that are expanded from sections in the previous volume....This resource should prove helpful for anyone looking for fantasy beyond the YA shelves." —School Library Journal
-"This newest entry in the Genreflecting Advisory Series divides the vast fantasy genre into chapters covering its popular subgenres, to help fans and their librarian reader advisors drill down to the kinds of fantasy litearture that will interested them most....Although many of the entries for individual titles are only brief plot summaries rather than reviews, the appendices include lists of award-winning titles, an additional bibliography of history and criticism, reference books, and a wide variety of other supplemental sources, both online and in print. Finally, there are author, title, and subject indexes to aid the search for specific titles. Like many of the other entries in the series, this biblography is a good starting point for the librarian confronting a young reader who is interested in a particular aspect of fantasy, or is unsure of where to dive in first." —Oklahoma Librarian
-"The authors' obvious appreciation of the fantasy genre adds life to this text. The well-stated purpose is fulfilled in a straightforward way, and well-documented references help ground this book in both past and present scholarship related to the genre. Thoughtful details about locating fantasy books in nonfiction collections and genreblending will be appreciated by library support staff and new librarians." —VOYA
