5.0 out of 5 stars Daggerspell - a wonderful, intricate story pattern., 30 April 2002
By A Customer
"Daggerspell" by Katharine Kerr is my absolute favourite book. The Deverry sequence comprises eleven books at the moment, and this is the first of them. The leading plot is the reincarnation of souls and the complicated relations that will build up when the souls interact as different persons in different lives. The story is told in two time lines or time frames, the so called present time line that focus on Jill and Rhodry, and the past time line that focus on their previous lives during 400 years. The story thus changes between past and present, and it is all really wonderful stories, that interacts in a so complex pattern that it takes some rereads to discover some of the more hidden connections. The twelfth and last book of the sequence is being written right now, and it will let the past time line to finally merge with the present time line, and thus complete the intricate story pattern. In this first book we are exposed to the beginning of the present story, and two stories from the past. Love, Wyrd (destiny) and Dweomer (magic) interacts to create a great story out of many threads. All the stories is set in the roughly mediaeval society of Deverry and it's neighbouring cultures. My old mother, who always (or at least the last thirty years) had claimed that she didn't like fantasy literature, was instantly hooked when she started to read the books. I highly recommend this book to everyone!

5.0 out of 5 stars My book is falling apart, 3 May 2002
By kowari1@yahool.com (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews
I first read this book when I was in year 7 or 8 at high school on a whim from the library. I loved it so much I promptly bought it and the rest of the series at that point. I have read the book so many times (and despite being exceedingly careful) that it is falling apart. I am trying to keep it safe because it is a non revised edition.

I love this book and its series, it's complex themes and plot that entwines past, present and future. It may not be immediately obvious why the past is being brought up, but believe me, on a recent reread of the entire series, I noticed a sentence in the second book is realised into plot over 8 books later. You can't read these books on their own and expect to understand them. They are a "series" in a true sense of the word.

Fantastic, can't say anything more to recommend them, and I am champing at the bit for the next one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply amazing , 12 Nov 2006
By Alexa (East Sussex, England) - See all my reviews
  
If you're not the sort to read a massive series of books then be warned this is not the book for you as this is the first in a series of 12. The way the story weaves through the past and the present is truly captivating and I haven't read a book with this type of telling before. Seeing the people in different incarnations adds a depth to the story and characters that I have rarely seen elsewhere. While at times it is had to remember who is who in each past story there is a helpful table at the back of the book telling which characters was who in their previous life's. In the later books some of the stories seem to become a bit similar but even so they are far from boring. If you wish to read any in this series of books there is no doubt that you will have to read this one first because if you do not then the others will make no sense what so ever. Despite the fact that this is a very long series each book is enjoyable and interesting and makes you just want to keep on reading. One of the best series I have ever read.
