4.0 out of 5 stars A good conclusion to an interesting trilogy, April 23 2004
By swiven (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Restoration (Paperback)
Berg keeps her characters interesting for this third book. Prince Aleksander comes in for his own share of angst and Seyonne is (briefly) captured by quasi-selfish temptation. Definitely get this book after you have read Transformation and Revelation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Final installment of Rai-Kirah trilogy, Jan 12 2004
By E. A. Lovitt "starmoth" (Gladwin, MI USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Restoration (Paperback)
Carol Berg's 'Rai-Kirah' trilogy "Transformation," "Revelation," and "Restoration" is so believable (well, except for the wizards and demons), it almost falls into the category of historical fiction. It is narrated by Seyonne who was once a mighty wizard and Warden against demonkind, then a slave to Prince Aleksander, then the savior of demonkind and a wizard-in-exile, and finally in "Restoration," a mighty winged warrior who fights for the deposed heir-apparent to a fantastical Arabian Nights Empire.

"Restoration" develops logically from the interaction of its two main characters, Aleksander and Seyonne, especially after Aleksander is accused of killing his father, the King and is deposed from his rightful throne. With Seyonne's assistance, Aleksander escapes from the usurper and then suffers humiliation, defeat, and near-death in his quest to regain what rightfully belongs to him. Author Berg believes in building character through suffering, and Aleksander loses everything, including his princely arrogance and most of his warriors.

Meanwhile Seyonne has his own internal demon to battle (joined to him in "Revelation"--you really, really need to read this trilogy in the correct order). He must also make his way to a fortress of profound darkness, where a wizard who frightens even the demons has been imprisoned, almost since the beginning of history. Seyonne meets the prisoner in a dream, and the old man seems harmless. When he finally enters the fortress, all Nyel, the old prisoner wants to do is help Seyonne find his own true form.

Seyonne realizes that he can help his friend Aleksander far more as a powerful winged warrior, rather than in his current human form. Thus begins his slow seduction to the beauty and utility of absolute power.

This third book in Berg's trilogy has prodigious battles, hair's-breadth escapes, and journeys to locales from her previous two novels, including the land of the demons. It is a vast, fabulous landscape and a pleasure to revisit, but the plot has a tendency to wander, bifurcate, and even lose this reader completely. This book definitely seems to bring the trilogy to an end, but I'm still in doubt about the fate of demonkind.

Seyonne spends almost the whole of "Revelation" in helping them escape from their frozen hell, but in "Restoration" all we get are a few guest appearances. So this trilogy comes to an untidy end with the dissipation of the demons, but it is still a great and glorious read.

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Please don't let this be the last!, Sep 15 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Restoration (Paperback)
My God! What a wonderful series. I've devoured every book the moment they hit the shelf. All the questions you could possible have reading the first and second in the series will be answered in Restoration. Seyonne faces his greatest challenge yet against the caged monster. Will his friends stand by him when he becomes what they all fear?

3.0 out of 5 stars It's an ending (possible spoilers)
Carol Berg is competing with a five-star book -- her own "Transformation". By that standard, the second and third books are lacking something. Read more

It's possible that I'm giving this particular series installment four stars because I'm cranky that it's going to be the last. Read more
