Daggerspell - Katherine Kerr


Every now and then when I feel the need revisit old characters I love, I re-read a series. This is about my 5th go around with this one.

Katherine Kerr's Deverry books have always been a favourite. The characters souls are reborn when they die so you never really lose any favourites, they just become a slightly different version of themselves.

Daggerspell is the book that began it all. Book 1 of Act 1. It's been fun being back with Rhodry, Jill, Nevyn and Cullyn as well as their previous incantations.

Apart from the souls being reborn twist, the Deverry books are classic old-style high fantasy. There are elves, dwarfs (well one so far), kings, lords, sword fighting, magic and unwanted pregnancies...and much later, there'll be dragons. Good vs Evil.

love it!
