Book Review of A Man Rides Through (Mordant's Need, Bk 2)

A Man Rides Through (Mordant's Need, Bk 2)
reviewed Wonderful story, but be prepared to read two books on + 72 more book reviews


There are so many characters besides Terisa and Geraden that are a valuable part of the story. This book is part soap opera, part fantasy, part study of human nature. There are some dark moments and some funny ones. You really feel for the characters and their struggles. There are few gruesome moments too, but probably not past PG13 by movie standards.

This story is really great. There is one catch. You want to read Mirror of Her Dreams first, the story finishes in A Man Rides Through. Although they are written as two books, I don't think you would get as much enjoyment out of this one without reading the other first. In the first book you are still trying to figure out who is on which side (and just how many sides there are to this puzzle!) Book two holds some surprises that do not mean as much if you had not fully met the characters in book 1. Keeping all of that in mind. I would still recommend these books and have many times. I am on my third set because I loan them out and do not get them back!

Definitely, with these two, read them in order and close together.
