Arrrrrrrrgh, I wanted better for Javan. 😔 We spent so much time getting to know him in the first book of this trilogy and then this one. ARGH. Just argh. ( ) Having read it recently, I really liked the action and the ways in which Javan is able to diminish the power of the Regents once he becomes King. The details and the descriptions of the colors, sheilds, and processions become a bit mind-numbing, unless they are really something you totally enjoy. But you know - at the end of this book I decided I had invested way too much time in reading her books, learning her characters, and working my way through the plot to have everything crumble in the last few pages. I really began to ask myself and perhaps the author in this internet medium - why? Why can't you, with the stroke of a pen, change how the action plays out? I've seen enough of death and despair, and I really don't need to read it in my escapist fiction. But perhaps others prefer more realism in their lives, and if so, you will really, really, really enjoy this book. This book is sometimes a bit difficult, because if you've read the rest of the Deryni books, you know what happens, in a sense. This is the second book that deals with the years leading up to the Interregnum, and it is like reading about old English kings. You already know when he was born, when he ascended to the throne - and when he died. Even so, this is still well worth reading. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

A young king's ascension threatens a traitorous conspiracy of powerful nobles who plan to brutally eliminate all magic-users from their medieval realm The brief reign of Alroy Haldane is nearly at an end, as the life of the young king of Gwynedd slowly slips away. Called back from the abbey where he has sought sanctuary for the last three years, Alroy's twin, Prince Javan, prepares to ascend the throne--against the wishes of the former regents, who plan to enslave or destroy all Deryni in the kingdom. Though human, Javan secretly possesses the psychic powers of the magical race that the powerful faction of great lords and religious zealots strives to eliminate--and it is this ability that alerts him to the terrifying scope of their dark treachery. While his enemies do not yet realize how determined a foe the young liege is, Javan must summon remarkable courage and cunning if he hopes to prevail against them--or even survive. In the middle chapter of her enthralling medieval fantasy trilogy, the Heirs of Saint Camber, award-winning author Katherine Kurtz adds richness and depth to the alternate world she has so magnificently brought to life in three previous series. Blending exquisitely detailed history with breathtaking invention, Kurtz proves once again that she is without equal in the popular realm of fantasy fiction.
