A brilliant flashback introducing the Civil Wars and exploring new exciting ways a soul can complicate their Wyrd; another eruption of dweomer into Jill and Rhodryâs lives as they face their first summer on the long road; and Rhodryâs Elvish connection has a gift that may shed light on his mysterious destiny... one day. Darkspell features more excellent world building and a solid adventure, but in 2020 itâs impossible to give it a pass for its homophobia and fat shaming so Iâm docking a star. Note: I read the original edition, not the revised edition, but from what I understand that doesnât necessarily address the things that bother me the most. Honestly, sometimes no rep is better than bad rep. Full review no reviews | add a review

This is true epic fantasy, of a kind that we don't seem much of these days. And the ones we see seem to be taking 10 years to finish and or get the next books out. ( )
