Blessed be to Asye

I read this book back in the late 80s when it was published. I never could find the sequels even though I knew there had to be some. Now I came across it again and it's out of print. Argh.

Hidden Gem

SilverGlass is the first book in a series of four books of the same name. It is the story of the noblewoman/sorceress Nyctasia and her swordswoman/companion Corson. Nyctasia is forced into exile from her city of Rhostshyl for trying to make peace between the ruling families. She hires Corson as a bodygaurd while she travels to mystical forest in the search of her lost lover. A good book that is a good start to an intriguing series. While short(186 pages) it packs in more story than many 300+ page books.

High Fantasy with a twist of romance.

Silverglass is an excellent book that offers it's readers a true fantasy trip filled with lovable characters! The four book series (Silverglass, Web of Wind, Witch of Rhostshyl, and Mistress of Ambiguities) all fit together like a snug fitting glove. They are truly great books that hold the readers attention and keep moving forward in a fast action paced enviroment. Loose ends are tied up and have kept me wishing for a new sequel!!! Where are you Mrs. Rivkin?!?

Unique and fun adventure with sword and sorceress

(cheating here and repeating, but since no one is reviewing the three books that make this series, i dont want anyone to miss the fact that it was both interesting and funny and thought provoking. buy all three)I'm so bummed that the triology of 'mistress of ambiguities, silverglass, and web of wind' wasnt carried on. ok sure, its the old warrior and sorceress, but it was so well done. the character interaction and development was great, it was like looking in on their lives. the playful arguing and sometimes real disagreements between partners brings to life a relationship that is so mundane in other books. to some extent the adventure was almost superflous, just a vehicle for 'spending time' with them. on the other hands, the adventures were so well done, not predictable endings, complex enough to hold interest but without becoming overwhelming... i can only say, write me another one please!
