Great if you like stories about friendship (and angst)
31 May 2004
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I reread this trilogy (this is the first -- followed by Chernevog and Yvgenie) every few years. I love it. Obviously it isn't to everyone's taste, judging by some of the other reviews, but if you like stories about the power of friendship -- which is more powerful than wizardry as far as CJ Cherryh is concerned -- then this is well worth reading.
Just be prepared for some "stream of consciousness" writing.

Er, apparently the author doesn't agree with me - she may be planning a rewrite. She has a blog

However she has recently had a loss in her family, so, be kind. July 2009

This is the best series by her by far!
26 July 2000
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Chernevog, Rusalka, and Yvengie are the greatest books. I enjoyed the atmosphere. An old-time russian fairy-tale. This series pulled together bits of all folklore I know, and even taught me some things I wasn't aware of. The characters are likeable, even the truely evil ones. You can imagine where they are coming from and why it is they are acting like they are. Perhaps it is a bit predictable, but it's a fairy-tale.

Rusalka-a tale of love, mistrust, and magic.
9 Nov 1999
Format:Mass Market Paperback
We open learning about Sasha and Pyetr, who are drawn together by chance. Sasha is a young wizard with a dangerous gift, and Pyetr is a young trouble maker who lives off of his wealthy friends. But wanted by the law, Pyetr makes an escape with Sasha at his side to aid him. That is until they discover Uulamets, a wizard with a secret. Uulamets wants Sasha's help to bring back his daughter Eveshka-a rusalka, a ghost who remains alive by sucking the life out of living things around it. Then there is another problem: Eveshka is in love with Pyetr. Overall this is an EXCELLENT book!
