my favorite female narrator to date

the writer doesn't assume you're stupid, either. this is great stuff, nerds. f f f

Believably living characters

Excellent story with believable characters. Well developed magic. A sense of good and evil as more than black and white.

An amazing deal for an epic tale.

You won’t find a better deal. This bundle includes the first four books of an epic tale that spans hundreds of years… and several lifetimes. The Deverry Saga has long been a favorite of mine. I’m happy to say that the audio version is just as compelling as my beloved hard copies.

A stunning fantasy classic

I love this series and can’t wait to continue. Kerr is a master of the fantasy genre.

The first Deverry series

These four books comprise the first part of Katharine Kerr's Deverry Cycle and can be read as one complete series.

I first read these books as a teenager about 28 years ago, so it was nice to re-visit them and see if they were as good as I remembered. I'm glad to say that I was not disappointed! This is solid, classic fantasy about reincarnation, dark and light magic, elves, lords and ladies, and written by a female author which is a plus.

The narrator does a wonderful, consistent job throughout the four books! I listened at x1.2 speed.

Trigger warning for SA in book 2 (against a male side character and mentions of previous child SA), and book 3 (against a female main character).

Too repetitive

Too repetitive. Words and phrases used over and over and over . It was maddening!

Love how they intertwine

This is an amazing deal and a gateway to get you started on the Long Road in the amazing world of Devery.

Masterpiece

Would make a great tv series / movie. Starting with the silver wyrm cycle, it won’t scare away tv executives and young children like dagger spell / dark spell might bring that it’s pretty hardcore and the gold falcon is less graphic

One of my favorite stories ever…

This is beautifully told, it captures all the details I remember so vividly from the first time I read these books when they were first published.

Hard to listen to.

Story had potential. Writing was repetitive. Performance was terrible. Took me 3.5 weeks to get through it, and I normally finish books this long in a week and a half.
