I loved this book! While, technically, one could read The Silver Wyrm as a series on its own, all of the history from the previous Deverry novels would be missing, making a lot of things impossible to understand. Not to mention, all the other Deverry novels are fantastic! Now here we are with new, yet not so new, friends, and a great new adventure in yet another fantastic Deverry novel. I'm looking forward to the next book!

I have to admit that the story doesn't interest me that much but the writing is so good I just had to finish the book. There is no way this could be called an action packed book, the story is about the characters and how they grow, learn and discover memories not their own. It really helps if you start at the beginning of the story with Daggerspell.

Hmmm, not sure how I feel about this book. I seem to have forgotten a lot from the immediate books before this series of books. However, it really wasn't an impediment to me understanding what was going on in these books. There is a new story with tidbits from the previous books. It was a little slow for my liking and I kept waiting for the shoe to drop on one relationship but it never went that way. I'm curious enough to continue reading the series and see where the author wants to take me.

The fourth subseries in the larger Deverry Cycle starts off fifty years after the previous book, and of course some of our longer-lived characters are still going strong, while others have been reincarnated and are getting to know each other, are relearning their skills, etc (I was very invested in all of that, and in how their souls have actually learned from the past!). Of course now there's a weird cult infiltrating things, leading to yet more war, and there’s some dragon drama, so it’s not all scribing and romantic plotting. Looks like there’s gonna be a major and long war in the follow up books, but I remain much more interested in the sorcery half of swords-and-sorcery. A/A-.
