Dallandra, let´s hope for the best ! I´m still to reed The Silver mage,and my guess is that Rhodry will be back to his orginial self, for one thing. But by your comment I understand that there´s a lot more question arising in the final (as far as we know) book. Isn´t that also a very common way to close a story these days, by saying sort of – “well we don´t know aboat the rest”-like and leaving some questions unanswered ? In the classical stories everything was unwinded, and they all ended ” And they lived happily ever after”. I dare not say until I´ve read the last one. I´ll get back then. I´ve searched for comments and such by Katharine herself, but her website (deverry.com) isn´t active it seems. Anyone who knows another website that´s recommenable ? Bye/Malena

the silver mage CANT be the last one. There has to be more. It cant end like that. im not happy. why did the dwarves hate the elves. what happened to hwilli? How did they they create hean marn? what was nevyn doing in bardek for 60 years? what hapened with galrionos? the questions are endless. what finally happened with the horse kin? There has to be one more book to answer al these questions. the silver mage just left too many to ignore.

I´ve waited for the story to continue after The Gold falcon, there was a very long wait since I´ve just recently just realised that there will not be translated to Swedish.Of which I disappove very much, and why would the publisher break up a series of books like that ? Puzzles me indeed. Isn´t the genre good enough, is that it ? Anyway, I´m now (finally !) reading no 14, The Silver Wyrm. I do not understand all the English words,and some of the genre fantasy and would have preferred them in my native language. The bottom line is; I can´t recommend anyone reading them having to state “Yes, there are 15 books all in all, but the last three are just available in English” Still, I do love Salamander !! My favorite guy <3 <3 <3 Love to you all readers of the Deverry series. Will go there right now ! Bye/ Malena

I have loved these books for so long and during the great silence I thought I would never get to read another one. Why did she stop writing. Thank goodness the last one is here, it has taken so long I felt that maybe I would go toes up before it came out. Can’t wait so am reading all the books again to get me ready for the Silver Mage.

She is by far my favorite author. The novels of Deverry contain all the dynamics of real life relationships, expressed through her magic infused writing style. If you want epic battles, you’ve got it. If you want love stories complete with betrayals, you’ve got it. If your interested in being completely immersed in a world that is vibrant in detail, and expressed in a completely cohesive fashion, staying true to itself, you will not be disappointed. I’m not a strong writer. She is. Please don’t let my words sell it short. Do yourself a favor and pick up Daggerspell. You will not be disappointed.

I’ve never gotten into them — is it worth it? What authors would you compare Kerr’s writing to?

Can’t understand how I missed these before now (being an avid fantasy reader since the 70s) but I was given the first three last month and have just finished the seventh and today ordered the rest. Still it’s nice to have the complete epic series available all at once, I followed the Dark Tower for years and waiting for the next one was agonising lol. Love them, thanks Katherine.

I started with Daggerspell from my local library in 1989 and have kept up with it ever since.
I found that those who enjoy the series did so because they were able to navigate the language, geography, history and the reincarnation twists and turns of the characters’ life stories. To those I say congratulations for letting your imagination take off and play out such a wonderful piece of work from K. Kerr.
I am sad to see the characters go. And so, I can hope that mayhap Ms. Kerr will either pick up the pen again or pass the torch to another in order to continue the telling of such a celtic knotwork that is the many lives of characters we have grown very fond of indeed!

I was given the Red Wyvern as a gift, couldn’t put it down, then proceded to read the next 2 before realizing there were 8 others in the deverry series before these ones. Since then I have started from the beginning, what a fantastic series. Now i’m almost finished the Gold Falcon and am happy to know there are still a few more books to go. I will be dissapointed when the series ends.
Anyone who starts reading Daggerspell stick with it, you will get hooked!
