Transformation has been on my to-read list for almost two decades, and I'm glad to have finally focused on it. It is one of Carol Berg first novels, and she is still cooking up new fantasy (pen name Cate Glass, An Illusion of Thieves).Transformation is epic, but feels fresh, and is very engrossing. ...
This is the 2nd book in the Rai-Kirah trilogy, which I originally read in print five or six years ago. This past November, I started listening to the series in audio during commutes. I’m a terrible audiobook listener, but this series is one of my very few successes. In my review of the first boo...
A minor miracle has just occurred. I’ve actually listened to an entire, full-length, 16.5-hour audiobook. Some of my followers may have seen me rant and rave about this at one point or another: I’m not a good audiobook listener. My attention drifts and, even when I’m paying complete attention, I ...
This was the second and final book in the Sanctuary duology. I’ve now read seven books by Carol Berg and I’ve loved every one of them. Why don’t people I know talk about her books more often?!

It’s not that I don’t think the other books I’ve rated deserved the ratings I gave them; it’s just that this book deserv...
I thought the first half of this book was four-star material. I was interested in it, I liked the characters, and I found myself thinking about the story when I wasn’t reading it and speculating what might happen next. Somewhere around the halfway point, fortunately during the weekend, this turned...

Ash and Silver by Carol Berg Ash and Silver put Carol Berg on my list of authors to watch. The world she creates is rich, the plot expansive, and the magical and social systems intricate and complex. Ash and Silver is the second book a series, but it was the first book-- and indeed the only book b...
