Explanation Toward Books Darkspell (Deverry #2)

I have read this several times I think, but not for over twenty years. I still really liked it, although I think my favourite part of the book was the portion set in the past. The love story between Prince Mael and Gavra was charming and a nice counterpoint to the tragic story of Gweniver and Ricyn and Dannyn. Of course Nevyn is my favourite character. When I was younger I found the story of Jill and Rhodry more interesting. Now I find them a bit tedious, although I think they become more interesting as the story progresses.

Write Up Of Books Darkspell (Deverry #2)

This time we see more of the dark dweomer and the affects it can have on the people who wield it and people who are affected by it.Rhodry and Jill are stil riding around and into everything.We get a glimpse of a past life and madness it comes from seeking vengeance.You realise in trying to untangle your wyrd you twist it even tighter.Hence why I love this series.

This is shaping up to be an excellent series. This follows the format of the previous book, the present day timeline and then a series of flashbacks to the reincarnations of our main characters from a previous timeline. I enjoyed the flashbacks in this book quite a lot. Our main characters, apart from Nevyn actually didn't get a lot of screen time but focused on the raging civil war and the birth of a certain prominent family. Gweniver (Jill) was the only other 'main' character to feature

After reading the first book in the Deverry series, 'Daggerspell' I wondered if this 2nd book would be able to live up to it. Carrying on from where it left off, this story re united the characters of Jill, Rhodry and Nevyn. The story initially saw Jill re incarnated as the high priestess Gweniver. Then moved back in time to Jill and Rhodry with the ever present Nevyn at their side. The quest was to reunite the humans and elves so they could join forces to overturn the evil dark forces and

Not a huge amount to say. I love the setting, I love the characters. I even love the strange mish-mash Deverry accent. If I have a criticism, its the plot is a little disjointed. It feels more like a series of vignettes than something with a beginning, a middle and an ending - and if there is a plot, its actually the bad guys', with the main characters just riding along for giggles. I like vignettes, so I'm okay, but cohesive plot demanders beware.One point - I've seen a lot of other reviews

In the second book of the series, the author follows the same path, continuing the main story, telling us also one more, from an earlier life of the protagonists. This continuation of the story is interesting as we watch the couple of our heroes in the difficult life they have chosen, which inevitably brings many obstacles to their relationship. But all of this is forgotten when they inadvertently become part of another round of the magical confrontation between good and evil, which shows that

It was interminable for about 85% of the book. I am not amused with the timeline jumping to show the reincarnations of the characters. The last 10 to 15% of the book made significant head way in opening up the long arc and the world, but for me it was too little too late.I may return to this series at some point just to see if it improves in subsequent books. It's much loved by a lot of people. But I'm not very motivated for it right now.***********How can there not be any audiobooks of this on

The las time I read this series was twenty years ago, when I was in my early teens. I remember the evil wizards ritual making an impression on me, I did not remember the blatant homophobia. Im happy to say that both I and the times have changed, and I see from other reviews here on Goodreads that a revised edition has been published. I hope that means that Kerr has also changed her views on homosexuals.Except from this, I find Deverry to still be a really good series! I enjoy seeing how both
