Review

"Judith Tarr is one of the undeniable experts in the historical fantasy form."--Booklist

"Wonderful characters, delightful weaving of real history and mythology, with the emphasis on the real world."--Katherine Kurtz

"Tarr's characters are well-rounded and believable. Her plotting is strong and her language a delight to read in its lean simplicity that still maintains a rich resonance."--Charles de Lint


Product Description

Alfred of St. Ruan's Abbey is a monk and a scholar, a religious man whose vocation is beyond question. But Alfred is also, without a doubt, one of the fair folk, for though he is more than seventy years old by the Abbey's records, he seems to be only a youth.But Alfred is drawn from the haven of his monastery into his dangerous currents of politics when an ambassador from the kingdom of Rhiyana to Richard Coeur de Leon is wounded and Alfred himself is sent to complete the mission. There he encounters the Hounds of God, who believe that the fair folk have no souls, and must be purged from the Church and from the world.

5.0étoiles sur 5 One of the best, least known fantasy series, Oct. 14 2007
I picked this book at random off the library stacks and was amazed at how great a series this was. To those of you who have read this series, you should also read Alamut in which you will see familiar characters from the hound and the falcon series (i.e. prince aidan). To those of you who have not read this series, you should. It is definitely a page turner and one of those series that when you get to the end you are wishing for more. To me that usually equates to a great series.

5.0étoiles sur 5 An Exquisite Fantasy!, Fév 26 2003
Par R.Parklane (Tokyo, Japan) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I love this trilogy. I read it close to 10 years ago. I have just finished it the second time. I am just as enthralled as ever with this historical fantasy filled with enchantments and interlaced with tender romantic moments. I will always love Alfred, the innocent and beautiful elf monk, turned powerful elf lord after much struggles with his real true self. I will always appreciate Thea who loves him from the very beginning. Finally who could ever forget Alfred's encounter with Richard, the Lion Heart, Alfred's sorrows during the disastrous invasion of Constantinople and finally Alfred's torment in the last of the trilogy when he thought he has lost all those he loves. My only complaint is the seemingly rush writing towards the end. On the other end, it maybe I did not wish the tale of Alfred, Thea, their children and their elf kin to end. The Hound and the Falcon is definitely one of my favorites to be treasured always.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Magic and History, Nov. 17 2002
Par Severa (Tórshavn Faroe Islands) - Voir tous mes commentaires
The monk Alfred has lived his entire life hidden away in the st.Ruans abbey. But even though the years go by brother Alf still looks no older than a boy. Wise though he may be, Alf is unable to face the truth about himself. He is one of the fair folk, an elf, kin to the elven-king. But when trouble comes to st. Ruans, elf-blood can be hidden no more. . .

The great thing about these books is the easy flow of the story. You open them, and before you know it youre battling alongside King Arthur, running through the burning streets of Constantinople or fleeing the Hounds of God. And all the time there are the marvelous details, the dialog, the people. These characters are so easy to fall in love with. Alfred is so scared, so confused you just wish you could reach out a hand and tell him everything will be alright. Beacuse you feel so close to these people, al the way through the books.

These are definately worth the read.
