Summary: Not as good as some of her others, but still top-notch
Review: Katharine Kerr's writing and characters are incredibly captivating; I've read all of her Deverry books and they are the best Celtic fantasy series out there. The only reason I gave this book four stars instead of five is that her first "quartet" (Daggerspell, Darkspell, Bristling Wood and Dragon Revenant) outshine her later books. This is for two reasons. First, they include Nevyn. Yeah, I know he's in the "past" sequences, but the "present" dweomermasters like Dallandra can't compare. Second, Raena and her Guardians aren't nearly as intimidating as the dark dweomermasters.

Summary: This book rules
Review: Katherine Kerr is a master. I have never been so enchanted by a story. I have delved deeper than I ever thought possible. I have read the whole series 9 times and it keeps getting better. Pure genius. My brother feels the same.

Summary: Good, but I want to read the next one to be sure.
Review: Kerr's latest was a long awanted book for me. But I'm not totaly satisfied. Feels like someone has divided the book in two and only gave me the first half. I WANT MORE! And soon. The red wyvern has the linguistic qualities of the other books in this series. I love a good oath.

Summary: My favorite fantasy series...
Review: One of the best things I've ever done was to buy Daggerspell several years ago. Since then, I've sweated blood trying to put together the rest of the series, and finally I've succeeded - until the Black Raven comes out, that is. I also agree completely with the fact that this series is deserving of more attention compared to Jordan, Goodkind, etc.For those of you who are waiting for the Black Raven with bated breath, I would suggest visiting www.voyager-books.com - where, oh joy, the first chapter is online to read. For people interested in the Deverry series in general, Katharine Kerr has a website that you can link to off of tor.com. And as to what is coming after the Black Raven, there will be either 2 or 3 more books - I've got conflicting information on that. Supposedly, at the end of this series, things will all link up into one big Celtic knot, and we will finally see the whole story line. Also, all the characters are supposed to come back in the end for a grand finale. Personally, I can't wait till this happens - and I have plenty of speculations about WHAT will happen. Is Jill Rhodry's daughter in this incarnation? Will Haen Marn ever get back to Deverry? Will Nevyn be incarnated as Domnall Breich's son? Will Evandar and his people all be born into the world of men? Will I ever quit asking all these questions? No. Well, I have one final question, which is certainly one that EVERYONE will want to know. WILL THIS SERIES HAVE A HAPPY ENDING?!?

Summary: Kerr continues her good work....
Review: Personally I was a little disappointed with The Red Wyvern. After A Time of Justice : Days of Air and Darkness, which I personally thought was her best novel, I was left feeling a bit like someone had taken a novel and split it into two. Nevertheless, Kerr is such a classy writer, that once again I was drawn into her fantasy world and wasn't able to put it down until the last page. The first novel of a new series, The Red Wyvern, builds a sense of anticipation for great things to come. I look forward to her next novel, The Black Raven!
Rating:
Summary: A slightly different book
Review: The author has a fresh idea that is both interesting and captivating. The basic theme was thought up with what one can call, 'An imaginative air'. The author invites the reader into a world where anything can happen. I would recommend this book to anyone that loves to read fantasy.

Summary: a little complicated at first, but very good
Review: The dragon mage series are a part of a much larger project - the epic or the kingdom of Deverry.
We follow charachters in their several different lives all at once. We meet a charachter in his "present" life and in his past and future one. It is hard at first and you can get a little lost, but when you get it it is a delightfull story to read. It enchants you and then you spend almost a year cursing the author for not writing the last book of the series yet.
The storry is complex and the charachters develop nicely, although sometimes they lack some depth.
It is overall a good book to read for a more demanding mind.

Summary: Worth a read, but nothing special
Review: These books are getting a bit tedious and samey. Daggerspell was great - the story unfolded continuously throughout the book although the timeline jumped allover the place. This one? It seems to have turned into a fairly generic swords and wizards book. Kerr tries to build up a plot, but doesn't do very well.

Summary: It's part of a series? LAME!
Review: This book apparently is part of a many book long series, which you MUST read in order to understand it. Unfortunately, NO indication is given of this on the book itself. The story skips around through a series of non-related characters and sub-storylines that maybe make sense if you have read the rest, but as a standalone book it is worthless. The writing style is decent, but nothing is ever really explained well enough for you to piece things together. Usually when I pick up a book that is part of a series, the author explains things well enough that I can get an idea of 'what has happened before'. Not in this book. There are NO clues at all. It was very confusing.
