One For The Morning Glory
One For The Morning Glory | John Barnes
1 post | 1 read | 5 to read
The Tale began when young Prince Amatus secretly sipped the forbidden Wine of the Gods, leaving him half the lad he'd once been--literally--for his left side suddenly vanished without a trace! But, as is often the case in Tales of this sort, the young Prince's misfortune was also a sort of blessing in disguise. For a year and a day later, four Mysterious Strangers appeared, and, as Amatus grew to manhood, they guided him on a perilous quest to discover his true identity--not to mention adventure, danger, tragedy, triumph, and true love. John Barnes has been heralded as "one of the most able and impressive of SF's rising stars" (Publishers Weekly) for his widely praised novels including Orbital Resonance and A Million Open Doors. Now, in One for the Morning Glory, John Barnes has crafted an artful and immensely entertaining fable that takes its place as a modern fantasy classic beside such enduring works as William Goldman's The Princess Bride and T.H. White's The Once and Future King.

Trying not to go crazy with #lovetorecommend for #17booklove @jess.how because... craziness is sometimes a result when I am asked for recommendations. I am sticking with this book, because it is the only book I buy every time I see it in a used bookstore so I can give copies away. A fantasy novel by an SF author, it is the story of Prince Amatus, who only has the right side of his body, and his quest to become whole. Charles Vess cover art!!!
