A Joy. Thank you Katherine Kerr and Ruth Urquhart

I read these books multiple times. Every time Kerr wrote another I would start the series again so I would appreciate the new addition to its fullest. Sounds sad, I know.

It's not. Give these books a go, you won't regret it. Of course Urquhart narration gives a whole other dimension that I did not have back when these books were first published, so thanks to Audible and her excellent interpretation of the characters, I get to relive the joy of Deverry all over again. Ye Gods!

Great story, superbly narrated

Top story, great narration. if you're a fantasy lover, do not miss this.

I've been a fan of Katharine Kerr's Deverry novels for decades. They're classic fantasy with a Celtic twist. This set of the first four novels concerns the young swordswoman Jill, her mercenary father Cullyn, and the nobleman Rhodry Maelwedd, and the apparently immortal sorcerer Nevyn. Their ongling story is interspered with stories of their past lives and the sins and errors that bind their souls together through rebirth after rebirth.

The narration by Ruth Urquhart is superb. Since this is a story spanned generations there is a large cast of characters, and with a variety of tones, pitches and accents, Urquhart manages not onoy to make each ubique and memorable, but in many cases to relate a character's voice to those of their past lives.

Brilliant series

I read this as a teen and had forgotten many of the details so decided to buy the audio books. i had low expectations of the narration, but was very surprised (pleasantly so). The narrator does a very good job with the accents, inflections and pronounciations. I had expected a lot of mispronounciation, but other than a very occassional slip, it was spot on.

As for the story, this has been and remains my favourite book series. My only regret is that the last few books in the cycle are not available in audio format yet.

splendid

Having read these books years ago it was great to find them on Audible. The narration is irritating, but either you get accustomed to it or it improved over the book.
Splendid is overused in dialogue and descriptions!
