5.0 out of 5 stars
Great ending to a great series of books!!,
By "jtleonar" (Wooster, OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Is This Apocalypse Necessary? (Paperback)
Brittain brings Daimbert and his story line to an excellent conclusion! I first picked up A Bad Spell In Yurt and have been hooked on the Daimbert books ever since. Have read each a number of times. They all have fairly intriguing plots that keep you guessing. This finale is no exception! Tightly written and well thought out. I have read that Brittain is working on Yurt the next generation, and I can't wait until it is here!!!

Best Yet!,

This review is from: Is This Apocalypse Necessary? (Paperback)
A very strong conclusion to the Daimbert series - in some ways this is the best yet from this fine fantasy writer.

Good but getting a little tired,
This review is from: Is This Apocalypse Necessary? (Paperback)
Firstly it has a *dreadful* cover! Whatever were you thinking of, Mrs. B? The Baen ones conveyed the right atmosphere! General book manufacture is much better than the Baen ones, some of which fell apart as I read them.The Yurt series is always readable. Daimbert and his friends (and enemies) are a cheerful lot, and their adventures are plotted without too much self-examination, which is very welcome. In this volume, Brittain reprises many of the locations from earlier books, as Daimbert travels around, finally wrapping up most of the loose ends from earlier series. Many characters make another appearance. In Yurt-5 the series was showing signs of becoming tired - plot-material from earlier books was reworked, and although the result was readable enough, I felt doubts. The same problem affects this volume, but much more so. The final volume in many series tends to be a let-down, as the author simply ties up the knots. I fear the same has happened here, although it's quite readable. Various threads *have* been left open, and we can perhaps expect more books sometime. Much as I would like to read more about Daimbert and Yurt, the author would be very well advised to give the series a rest. It's a pity that the Count Scar volume has not sold better, as I'd like a sequel to this.
