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.

Summary: Very Good!!!!!!!!!
Review: This book was a great book! This is the continuation of the Deverry/Westand series. This particualar book doesn't really include Jill, Rhodry, and the other main characters. It does one of the re-incarnation things and takes us back to when Nevyn was still alive, and when Maryn was going to be crowned King. If you liked the Deverry and Westland Series, you will be sure to like the Dragon Mage Series, this is the first in the series, and the second book doesn't come out until December '99

Summary: Not the first one you should read in these series...
Review: Wow, this book sure was hard to follow, I had to refer back to my copies of the first four books to recall who all those people were and what their part in the story was. It goes right back to the 100-year civil war.Actually, it might just be a good read for someone who hasn't read any of the previous books, so scratch the subject above<g>. A new reader will just think it's a good fantasy novel, and then learn that many of the characters are part of a MUCH larger tapestry. How I envy readers who are new to the world of Deverry!

Review: You have to read it, too complicated to explain in so little space
