How did I not notice this novel until now? Shame on me! Go buy it, all of you! Go now and get the whole set! I'm in process of getting the rest of them into my hot little hands. The book opens with a marvelous "Note on the text", explaining that these folk tales from the Annaren society have not e...
My son and I both enjoyed this book. It dragged for us through at least the first half but by the end, we were involved and interested and debating on getting the second one.
As it has been some time since I last tried to read this book (my fifth such attempt), I don't remember enough to write a full review of it. Since I didn't even finish it - though getting farther than I have ever done - perhaps that is best. See, this is one of those fantasies that sounds like a g...
Pretty standard fantasy fare with bards and true names and a root language. The setting of it in a pseudo earth past is a little too much really and the story would have worked as well without that conceit. Maerad starts off as a slave and is rescued by the Bard Cadvan, one of the great bards of Li...
This was definitely one of my all time favorite reads. I loved Maerad her personality was enjoyable and she never once really got on my nerves like the main characters of many other books have a habit of doing.
This was an interesting series to me when I read it. It contained intriguing characters and despite having been set in the YA fiction section it read more like it was targeted at a slightly older readership. Its monsters, its world, its villains and its prophecies were like The Lord of the Rings but...
Oh my fucking God, just shoot me now.I can't talk about this book. I can't. The pain is too fresh. Being cheaped out of the romance is too fresh.SOB SOB SOB SOB.(Shelves are for all books, so I don't have to bother with them all.)
This is exactly the type of book that sucks me in and doesn't let go. I didn't feel the same way about every book in the series, but this book really did it for me. Maerad is a slave living in obscurity in a remote mountain fort. Her life is miserable, but as long as she has the harp her mother l...
This is a genuinely beautiful book, with beautiful descriptions that seems to fit perfectly into the heart of fantasy. Not what you would expect in a first book at all. Maerad and Cadvan are such appealing characters and their quest has the sense of something epic about it. A book to get lost in.
