Summary: If you like fantasy, this one has it all
Review: This is one of my favorite books of all time. Donaldson depicts the despair and confusion that result from lives turned awry: in Teresa's case by childhood abuse/neglect and in Geraden's case by an inability to understand and use his gifts, in the realm's case by a hero-king who has stopped defending the kingdom. These confusions lead the characters in mistakes and dilemmas so true to life that I have read every one of Donaldson's long-winded words to discover what these two books say about despair and hope, confusion and clarity, seduction and care, and the redemptive possibility of hope. This book (Part Two) and _The Mirror of Her Dreams_ (Part One) are not (in my opinion) as dismal, dark and despairing as others Donaldson has written.

Summary: An excellent, must-read conclusion to Mirror of Her Dreams.
Review: This is the second book of Mordant's Need, a 2-part fantasy saga. As I said in my review of the first book, The Mirror of Her Dreams, these two books together form the best and perhaps the most original story I have ever read. I don't read a lot of fantasy, but this book is so much more than that; it's also a wonderful thriller with elements of mystery and romance. A Man Rides Through picks up immediately where the first book left off--eg,"The next day, the siege of Orison began." Thus, this "series" is better viewed as a single two-part book, with the second part being just as engaging as the first. As the plight of Mordant worsens, Book 2 brings us into other areas of the realm and offers new characters who were only alluded to in the first book. The wonderfully inventive craft of imagery introduced in Book 1 is further expanded here, and the main characters, Terisa and Geraden, are more complexly developed as they move on their way to becoming full-fledged heros. Donaldson does a wonderful job of bringing together all the various aspects of this amazing story in a magnificent and triumphant ending.

Summary: A very good two book fantasy series
Review: This series by Stephen R. Donaldson consists of two novels, The Mirror of Her Dreams and A Man Rides Through. I don't normally go for sword and sorcery novels, but these books are quite interesting. A quite normal and abused young woman is suddenly transported to a world of medieval times by a bumbling apprentice. She adapts to this world and finds enjoyment in its people. Of course, there are many plot complications and plot twists. But the characters are believable, if sometimes slooow to act.

Summary: This might keep u awake.........sorry did I fall asleep.....
Review: Well, if you suffered through the first book you might as well read this one. There is a little more imagery going on in this book which makes it a little more interesting than the 1st. The only reason I finished both books was more out of a sense of accomplishment rather than pure enjoyment. If you want to tackle this book its 657 pages longgggggggggg !!!!!!!

Summary: Donaldsons genius
Review: When I first started reading the Mordants Need series I went crazy, I was so excited because I found a book that was romantic, exciting, and makes you believe that anyting is possible. Donalson is very good at adding detail to his books. This book is about the struggle to realize who you are and how important you really are. Terisa and Geraden finally realize that they are ment to be together.(finally! It drove me crazy!) If you are looking for a book that is exciting, romantic, and proves that anyting is posseible this book, and the series are the books for you.
