Summary: Here we go again!
Comment: I had read Ms. Berg's first trilogy ("Transformation" series) and loved it. As a result, I was looking forward to reading this new one. I definitely was not disapointed! I started it about 3 in the afternoon and finished it that same day (11:00 p.m.) !! I can hardley wait for the next one in the series. I just wish that the publishing world moved faster!! Thank- you Carol for another great book!!

Summary: Magic, Suffering and disgrace and a good novel
Comment: Seri is a noblewoman living in disgrace, poverty and exile. Then one day she is attacked by a naked man who it turns out has no memory of himself, his past or even his language. Seri does not want to get involved - she does not like the man and her past has left deep scars that he threatens to re-open.
However, gradually, she gets drawn into to helping him. She finds she can not abandon someone so obviously injured and despite the risk finds herself on an adventure that will bring an unexpected clarity to the events that bought her past disgrace and will help save her world from a doom worse than she would have ever imagined.
This is a well written, though long, novel with interesting characters. It is the first book in the Bridge of D'Arnath series, but it is a well contained novel in itself that does not end on a cliff-hanger. It has some similarities to the authors previous books in the disgrace and suffering of the central characters in the novel, but for all that has a quite distinct feel from the characters in her previous books.
This is worth picking up to read if you enjoy a well written fantasy novel and looks like the beginning of an interesting series.

Summary: Gripping read!
Comment: Not everything in this book is as it seems. Carol Berg's plots rarely are.
Seri is a village woman living at the edge of a town for 10 years- lonely, bitter and scarred from a horrible past. The arrival of a naked, handsome young stranger who tries to strangle her at their first meeting draws Seri into a painful exploration of her past, forcing her to make connections and impossible, heretofore unimaginable alliances if she is to help this tall, imperious stranger.
Anyone familiar with Berg's Rai-kirah trilogy and Song of the Beast will know that her characters often undergo tremendous suffering and humiliation before they come to their answers. Still, Berg's plots and characters are so captivating that no matter how much you cringe for what the characters undergo, you still have to know what happened, to discover the secret, to have some closure.
So if you start this book, beware, you'll need to wait till September 2004 for Book II of this entertaining, nail-biting trilogy.
