	Mylibrary: Grand Conspiracy : Alliance of Light (Alliance of Light), Janny Wurts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Janny Wurts's justifiably skillful and lovingly composed Wars of Light and Shadow series joins the ranks of Robert Jordan's protracted Wheel of Time series, et al., as either--depending on which camp you hail from--the height of high fantasy or the deeply frustrating (yet persistent) problem with the genre.
		Wurts is an accomplished builder of worlds, scenes and characters through well-chosen detail, with an ear for dialogue and an eye for realism--her shipboard scenes, the battling street mobs and the reluctantly taxed merchants are exemplary.
		Wurts' worlds are bursting with the primal force, brimming with unforgettable characters, infused with magic both dark and glorious." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

		It started with a "frivolous annoyance." The teenaged Janny Wurts decided she was sick of fairy tales where the youngest and the blondest always won out, and you could gauge the virtue of a character by the lightness of his or her hair.
		Janny Wurts: They are both so hopelessly tangled up with each other, I couldn't separate them.
		Janny Wurts: I think that the power of the mind is huge when you can tap it on more than one level and more than one sense.

		All that said, Wurts has wooed many fans to her series with compelling characters, a tremendously complex (and painstakingly developed) web of plot lines, and distinctively lush and lyric storytelling.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Peril's Gate
		This ongoing series by prose stylist Janny Wurts has to be one of the more frustrating offerings of doorstopper fantasy available, both in terms of its appreciation and assessment.
		Ms Wurts is hardly one to let an opportunity to enliven or enrich her prose pass.
		Wurts needs to avoid any further cycle of flight or fight, which by now has been revisited all too often, and start to move her saga significantly forward...

	which is better- janny wurts or kate elliott - sffworld.com
		Wurts often runs away with her adjectives and metaphors to the deep end; so you may end up reading similies which are good for a laugh but extremely annoying in the context.
		Overall, I prefer Wurts because she is a better writer and tells a more compelling story IMO, though both are by no means bad writers.
		Wurts is by no means a bad author, but you miht like to start off with The Empire Trilogy or whatever it is called, co-written with Rymond Feist.

	Where Do You Get Your Myths? Writers Write -- The IWJ
		Janny Wurtz: The myths that are prevalent in any society tend to spring out of the fabric of the culture itself -- therefore, the myths on a fantasy world would be shaped by the cultures that inhabit the world.
		Janny Wurtz: All human cultures have myths -- if you have humans, there will be those stories with their warp and weft of underlying truths and values -- which is what makes a myth.
		Janny Wurtz: I think religion is far more than that, to aspects of its values could be set into a story that is structured as a myth.

		Wurts is skillful as ever at world-building and pacing, and her background as an artist shows in the kind of intensely visual writing that makes one wish more fantasy were written by artists.”
		“Janny Wurts writes, not surprisingly, like the fine artist and illustrator that she also is. Using words like paint she builds up layer upon layer of convincing detail and rich description, creating an overall fantasy texture that demands, and rewards, the reader’s best attention.”
		Wurts talent as a writer comes from her unerring ability to create an exquisitely believable world through her storytelling, from the dubiously chequered past of her flawed leading man, Mykkael, to the nuances of court life in the beautiful kingdom of Sessalie.

		Janny Wurts is the author of fourteen novels and a short story collection, as well as the internationally best selling Empire trilogy, co authored with Raymond E. Feist.
		The seed idea for her current epic sereis, the Wars of Light and Shadow, occurred when, in the course of researching tactics and weapons, she viewed a documentary film on the Battle of Culloden Moor.
		The experience gave rise to an awakening, which became anger, that so often, our education, literature and entertainment slant history in a manner that equates winners and losers with moral right and wrong, and the prevalent attitude, that killing wars can be seen as justifiable solutions when only one side of the picture is presented.

	Crescent Blues Book Views\| Janny Wurts: To Ride Hell's Chasm
		Wurts claims she deliberately uses language to slow her readers down and immerse them in the fiction.
		Her language is not pedantic, weighty or overwrought in its lyricism, and her pacing never flags.
		At the same time, her depiction of the "natural world" -- from imaginary beasts to the handling of horse and tack -- ring with the kind of authenticity that can only come from someone who practices many of the skills she writes about.

		Being a standalone novel, Wurts has also managed to keep the scope of the novel smaller, keeping the focus on the central characters.
