Customer Reviews

Excellent Read

Katherine Kerr has done a superb job in evoking Galic lifestyles and mores. This latest entry in the history of Deverry stands up to all previous entries. I would recommend the series to anyone interested in fantasy.

Katherine Kerr's books

I have read this whole series and cannot wait for the final one to be published. Am a fan of dragon stories and this one from the original ones with Nevin are just brilliant and consuming.

Katherine Kerr is Fantastic

I absolutely love this series. I own a kindle and to be able to read them with such ease just makes my day. She is a great writer.

The saga continues . . . and builds again

My first reaction when seeing the note that The Shadowed Isle is not the last book in the great Deverry cycle was angst that I had to wait again for another book, then a great flood of relief, as I could not figure out how even the almighty Kit could have brought this series to a satisfactory ending in just one book after The Spirit Stone. I wholeheartedly recommend the entire Deverry saga, and if you have not read them all, you are missing a great deal. It seems to me that DAW is trying to have the Silver Wyrm segment "stand alone" a bit, but that is practically impossible when you consider the lovely complexity of the entire set of works. The Shadow Isle is building up to another climax in a series that has already contained three impressive climaxes. Conflicts that span many lifetimes are coming to a head or being brought to a close, with new "knots" arriving in this novel that I certainly did not see coming, even having read and re-read every other book. If you've read any of the other Deverry books, you already know you want this book - and probably pretty badly! If you have not read a Deverry book, start with Daggerspell and enjoy the journey. It's worth it.

Kerr really doesn't get due credit for such a great series

I won't go into all the details in the book but it was a great read. I don't think Kerr is recognized enough for this great series. Though it is different from most fantasy series it is a very intriguing story that I have enjoyed for over 12 years when I first discovered Daggerspell. I was under the impression this was the last book in the Deverry setting but luckily I was wrong after reading the Author's note regarding the upcoming Silver Mage series.
