Daggerspell by Katharine Kerr
4.0
Daggerspell is a classic in the fantasy genre. It was written by Katharine Kerr in the 1980s. I'm sad that I missed it when I was much younger. That being said, I don't have any nostalgia goggles on for this.
Kerr did a good job with the prose. It was solid and did a good job of painting a picture of what was happening. I really loved the way she built-up the beginning of the story. Once the main character went on the road with her father, the plot got pretty good.
However, the plot deals with re-incarnation so there's a part of the book that the characters we've grown to know
I'm interested in seeing where the next book goes. I love the Harper Voyager rereleases of these books. The new covers are so gorgeous.

are re-incarnated. This means that we lose some of the cast and the places we've grown to know. This does create an issue since I initially found it hard to care about the new characters, especially until there are some particular revelations.I'm interested in seeing where the next book goes.
