Our reviews of Lynn Abbey's work

The takes

What we have said about Lynn Abbey

  • The second Dark Sun: Chronicles of Athas novel. Lynn Abbey deepening the world and earning a real second act.

  • Lynn Abbey wrapping up the Dark Sun: Chronicles of Athas. The series ending the setting deserved.

  • Lynn Abbey writing a 90s Catwoman tie-in novel. Better than tie-ins have any right to be and exactly as fun as you would hope.

  • Lynn Abbey writing solo fantasy about an elf-woman caught between cultures. Quieter than her better-known shared-world stuff.

  • The first Dark Sun: Chronicles of Athas book. Sword-and-sorcery with extreme heat. A Lynn Abbey shared-world entry.

  • A Forgotten Realms novel by Lynn Abbey. Bloodstone Lands, ranger protagonist, and the kind of competent shared-world fantasy the era produced in volume.

  • A late Lynn Abbey Forgotten Realms novel, working with a particularly chewy chunk of FR cosmology. For Realms completists.

  • Lynn Abbey doing Camelot-adjacent Arthurian fantasy. Her Pagan English roots get a serious airing.
