"I Dreamed of Owl. That Means Wizardry is Near." Tristen is a weapon in an ancient war between wizardry and sorcery. He is a summoning and a shaping, brought to life by a wizard. And his sword is a weapon as well. Its keen blade, marked Illusion on one side and Truth on the other, once helped Tristen win the throne of Ylesuin for the young king Cefwyn, gaining Tristen the stewardship of the brave country of Amefel. Tristen's rule in Amefel is blessed with two extraordinary friends: one a stalwart and simple warrior, the other a young rebel with royal blood. But the scarlet banners of war are unfolding again, and far more than a kingdom is at stake. Now Tristen must take up the sword--as well as the Sihhë magic he has forsworn. He is destiny's own, created a combatant in a far older and more fearsome conflict than any ever imagined by mere mortal man. And he is about to do battle once more. . . . Rich with magic, intrigue, and adventure, this high fantasy series from the acclaimed C. J. Cherryh brings to life an enchanting world as real as, yet far more wondrous, than our own.… (más)
Tristan continues to grow, becoming more like the Sihhe Lord the faithful proclaim him to be. Despite his efforts to bring together the southern allies, to ready their forces to aid King Cefwyn, a sinister force is abroad, striving against him. And no one, royalty or religious, is safe from its evil plans.
A slower yet satisfying entry in the Fortress series. ( )
Tristen continues poking around the edges of the Hasufin problem. Sadly , the amount of padding is serious. This volume has little action. This world isn't interesting to explore, with too much made of transport problems. Weakest Cherryh I've ever read. ( )
Not her finest hour. A hard slog through descriptions of writs and proclamations, experiments with alliteration etc. Have faith, though, as the fourth book is much better. You might as well read on to the end of the series, having wasted this much of your life. ( )
