The Books of the Rai-kirah Reviews: Revelation | |
an epic fantasy adventure by Carol Berg |
From reviewers... "...Strong characters, most of the clichés of fantasy fiction broken and a
barrage of thrilling adventures and nail-biting edge-of-the-seat
escapades tumble over each other in the pages of this book." A top-ten read for
2001. (myshelf.com)
"Wrestling with your inner demons" has never before been so dangerous - or so magnificently actualised!... [a] masterful journey into the fantastical landscapes of both her physical world and the more important universe of the mind..." (thealienonline.net)
...engrossing...complex...the story of Seyonne and the Prince of the Derzhi is a turbulent adventure with far reaching consequences...an excellent series. --Fred Cleaver (Denver Post Book Reviews)
Berg creates...powerfully sensuous landscapes both realistic and uncanny; the pursuit of personal honour attractively [is] the unchanging core of an adventure where everything else we know is unreliable. --Roz Kaveney (Reviewer for Amazon.co.uk)
"...fascinating..." (Locus August 2001)
"...a compelling and well-structured read..." (SFX, November 2001)
"...plenty here to intrigue..." (Starburst, October 2001)
"...In Revelation, Carol Berg does not miss a beat, or make a false step..." (Jacqueline Lichtenberg, simegen.com)
"Beautiful, intriguing, and masterfully wrought, Revelation is recommended to any reader who is willing to consider the issues of suffering, self-sacrifice, prejudice, inequality, atonement, acceptance, and courage. Or to anyone who simply loves a great story." (Women's Independent Press, Dec 2003)
