Circle of Ceridwen Trilogy

review 1: OK - I think when one starts having dreams (2 so far) with themselves as part of the story they are reading, it has to mean it is a great read....at least for me it is. The author is extremely good at descriptions of landscape; items; people; clothing, etc that I feel as though I'm right there with them and can almost smell the surroundings. I love this one and will definitely read the other 2 in the trilogy.
review 2: I really enjoyed this book. Although first in a series, the author tells a mostly complete story, with one thread left unfinished that could be resolved in a later book.The characters, both main and supporting, are developed gradually, as are their relationships to each other. Their good and not-so-good sides are shown in their histories and ... moreinteractions, but qualitative judgements are left to the reader. In a tale of war, it is not very common for both sides to have both their good as well as their darker sides shown. The settings in the story are so well done, so descriptive, that I sometimes felt that I could have been watching a movie. The bleakness of a ransacked town contrasts with the richness of treasures. Mild, sunny days and cold, dreary days are so vivid as to direct the mood of the reader. The use of adjectives for the sake of filler was skillfully avoided, but at no loss to completeness.It is a tale of clashes - religious, cultural, political, and personal. less
