That last bit in caps should probably be one of the critiques that are often on the first page when the paperback comes out. So true!

I have always insisted that the reason why Kit’s books were so good was because despite the fantasy setting, her characters act like real people with real reactions to events and real emotions. people are not born good or bad, but rather make choices in their life for better or for worse.
I have yet to read the final book, but I know it will be good and I know that this series will be stay on my bookshelf till im old and grey.
THANKYOU KATHERINE KERR. THANKYOU FOR AN ORIGINAL, COMPLEX, NON DUMBED DOWN FANTASY SERIES THAT MATTERS. you have certianly inspired my writing and I try to make sure my characters act believably as learnt from your series

I think you have done a great job. You really have morphed the characters (and by characters, not just the people in the book, but the places etc) into very real and living entities. It feels that the world could actually exisits even when I am not reading the books, that people would continue their daily lives reguarless if the events had been caught on paper or not. I love the fact who everything changes, places grow and develop, as do people and reincarnations. And I think you have captured the elves brilliantlyt…I love elves, but I am certain I would feel very inadequate standing next to one! LOL

I can’t wait to read the final book. I’m sad that its ended, even though as you said, it was time to end (actually, I would have been happy for you to keep going!). But I can always pick them up and re-read them, so it hasn’t really ended, its just one particular trend that has come to a conclusion. (And Deverry can keep exisiting in my mind even when its not penned down!)

well done!

I think that probably only in a long project like Deverry could the changing outside perceptions (of Elves for example) be carefully introduced and explored.

It’s to the credit of writer, publisher and buying public that Katherine Kerr was able to eventually bring (most) of her vision to completion.
