Couldn't put it Down!!, July 1 2003
This review is from: The Chalice (Paperback)
Although I agree with some other reviews that the ending seemed rather rushed,this is one of the best Trilogies I've read.I couldn't put it down.Needless to say ,at three in the morning that can be a problem! Deborah Chester has the ability to draw the reader into the story and feel a kinship to her characters.You feel their losses,triumphs,and,yes,sometimes you wanted to slap some sense into Dain,or Alexeika.Pure Fantasy,but with all the human foibles and emotions that make you feel that you are living the story.I want more! If you read The Sword,The Ring and The Chalice,you would love Ann Marston's Rune Blade Trilogy,and the followup Trilogy,The Sword in Exile.Some of the best.

plotting by the numbers with a horrible conclusion., Jun 12 2003
This review is from: The Chalice (Paperback)
The Sword was okay, not good, not bad, passable enough. The Ring was pretty good, I enjoyed it. Not top flight fantasy like Martin or Keyes, but still pretty well done. I had high hopes then for the Chalice. Sadly, those hopes were dashed by page 50. Just not a good book that wrapped up 700 pages of prologue in literally 15 pages. The ending was way too rushed, and just not good. The one redeeming quality of this book is Prince Gavril, who despite being one of the biggest jerks around, is far more interesting than Faldain. Without spoiling the end of this book, if you have read more than 2 fantasy series, you can already guess the conclusion. In fact, you can probably tell exactly what will happen 100 pages into the book. This put such a bad taste into my mouth that I won't be reading Queen's Gambit.

The whole series is a wonderful read., April 22 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Chalice (Paperback)
Trust me, all three books in this series are hard to put down once you start reading them. Although, I am a little sad that there will be no more books in this series after the book 'The Chalise.' I was looking forward to reading more about the characters I've come to love. Buy the book, you won't regret it.
