Steven, Deverry is not a feudal, ie serf-based, kingdom. It's an example of what is technically known as a chieftain-based society, of which the best...
... What system of colonization is in place? Is it haphazard--populations just encroaching further west and north--or is there some fomal system in place e.g....
If you don't have the books handy you could try amazon.com's search. You can read inside some books....I think there is a limit to how many pages you can view....
I agree!! But at least Stargate is on, and I bought Firefly for myself for Xmas, so we've been watching that after all my summer projects have ben tucked away...
Just putting in my ha'pennorth... I'd HATE to see the Deverry world done as a film. 1) no company would ever give enough money to do them justice. 2) no...
... Good points. I don't know, though, that people are seriously pushing for a movie (or movies) to be made when they engage in conversation along the lines of...
Someone I recommended the books to has said that he considers the long imprisonment of Mael to be a plot-hole, since the king would just have cut his losses....
... After the English invasion of France in 1415, Charles duc d'Orleans was captured at the battle of Agincourt and remained in captivity in England until...

... Yeah, I have seen car washes, donation tins EVERYWHERE, just Aussies getting together and trying to help. I mean, EVERYONE is putting in all their spare...
... Ditto - I know it sounds awful, but I am over looking at it. I cant do it any more. Tom (my partner) has downloaded huge amounts of footage off the net...
... It's the best and worst of humanity really - fucked up bishops saying that this is god's judgement; unspeakable people stealing children from refugee...
Spoiler space... All Dweomerworkers change their stories so that they are always right. Dallandra seems especially ditzy. She is consistent in that and, she's...
I enjoyed the Mael story. Nevyn is a good character in it and it has a fairly happy ending. It also has the Noble born acting honorably on both sides of a...
Also, Richard the Lionhearted held for years and years, but I don't remember how long. Killing a hostage was considered dishonorable, of course, but more to...
I've sent money too and will send more when the royalties I should get from Germany finally arrive. It never seems like doing enough, but of course cash is...
Honestly, Anna, I have to wonder why you bother to read this series -- it seems to have repeatedly disappointed you by not being the kind of book you have in...
Well, as someone was saying re: relief aid, sometimes we humans do get together and do the right things. But happy endings and Noble Heroes are rare in...
