		Mrs Kerr has taken her time to study celtic culture and language, and it shows in her writing, which gives a very realistic impression.

	Dawnspell (Deverry S.) Book at Shop Ireland
		After an uneven start in "Daggerspell," Katharine Kerr has continued to build upon and expand the characters and world of Deverry, and with "Bristling Wood," the third book of the octet, has brought her storytelling talents to full maturity.
		Description, while lacking the depth of a Jordan or Martin, is nonetheless detailed and vivid, characterizations diverse and singular, and the secondary characters have begun to contribute significant roles to the story, greatly enriching the tale.
		With this volume Kerr's series must begin to be considered as a contender among the few truly notable works of fantasy fiction, and I expectantly look forward to reading the rest of the eight to see if the story fulfills its undeniable promise.

		Each of her books is set in this complex world, telling the stories of realistic characters as they try to free themselves the the wheel of reincarnation for crimes in past lives.
		Deverry is a vivid world of a Britain that never existed with a Celtic flavor.

	The SF Site Featured Review: The Red Wyvern
		Katharine Kerr is the author of the popular Deverry series of fantasy novels which started with Daggerspell, and continued with Darkspell, The Bristling Wood, The Dragon Revenant, and several others.
		The Deverry home page is another excellent resource for fans of Kerr's creations.
		While Kerr is a wonderful story-teller, the Deverry saga is too complex to allow her to include enough background and supplemental information to enable a neophyte to fully understand and enjoy this book.

	The Deverry Series
		The people of Deverry are descendants of a Celtic tribe from Gaul or Gallia (roughly today’s France), who fled to a new country after a failed rebellion against the Roman Empire.
		To use SF terminology, the world (or planet I guess) Annwn, of which Deverry is but a small part, lies in another dimension.
		There were terrible wars and much animosity between them, and it’s not until the present timeline of the story, a thousand years later, that there is a chance of amendment.

		For as the two struggle to recover the Great Stone, the mystic jewel that guides the conscience of the kingship of Deverry, malevolent dark masters are weaving terrifying spells against them--and displacing messengers of death.
		However, the world of Deverry and celtic folklore were so engagingly rendered that I perservered and was rewarded by the continuing tale of "Darkspell." Here Kerr appears to have mastered her earlier awkward plot transitions in time, integrating her multiple storylines smoothly and cohesively.
		And her descriptive narrative has grown, suffering only in comparison with authors such as Martin or Jordan, with the characters' personalities having become more fully formed.

		There are currently eight books in the Deverry chronicles with one more in production and three more planned for after that.
		Now, however, she is devoting herself exclusively to fiction, for the simple reasons that there are only twenty-four hours in a day, and she does require the normal amount of sleep.
		Many readers and reviewers have assumed that the Deverry books take place in some sort of alternate Britain or that the people of Deverry cam originally from Britain.
