Katharine Kerr Deverry Series 4 Books Collection
The powerful sorcerer Nevyn broke a promise long ago and a curse has trapped him ever since. He waits for the one who might break him free of his prison. A wait that may soon finally come to an end. Jill is the daughter of a Silver Dagger, a band of wandering swordsmen who fight for money, not honour. After her mother died when she was young, father and girl took to the road, living from town to town, never settling. An end to exile, heroes scattered and darkness rising… When Jill and Rhodry are forced apart by unexpected circumstance, Rhodry vows to find her, no matter what it takes. But before he can, he disappears. With his brother injured, Rhodry is next in line to rule. As Deverry’s peace hanging in the balance, the king lifts Rhodry’s exile and bids him return home before it is too late. Memories lost, an end to magic, a vow of steel… Aberwyn's overlord is dead and the land stands on the brink of war and rebellion. Rhodry is now heir to the rulership, but he has been kidnapped by the agents of an evil magic. Desperate, his half-brother Salamander and his beloved Jill race to free him and bring him home. A Royal’s freedom, the gift of magic and stolen power… Exiled from his brother's court, Lord Rhodry has found a life for himself on the road with wandering mercenaries, the Silver Daggers. The going is hard, but Jill, a young master of sword and magic, is with him, and as they journey across Deverry’s long roads, feelings between warrior and lord deepen.

I started listening to the audiobook version of Katherine Kerr's Deverry novels because I have loved them since I was 18 years old, have reread them throughout my life but now can no longer read print books without getting migraines. Unfortunately I barely made it halfway through the first book before I had to give up. The narrator is too robotic between dialogue, racing through the descriptions, hardly breathing or pausing between sentences with very little inflection. I tried speeding it up but it was too fast to comprehend, and slowing it down just made the robotic quality worse. Interestingly, the narrator's accents and voices during the dialogue were fantastic, which is why I was able to stick it out as long as I did. But I am sad to see that every single book in this series is narrated by the same narrator, therefore I will never been able to read these books again.

These books are my ‘comfort blanket’. The first fantasy books I was introduced to as a child (secretly reading them from my Mums book shelf) and wow have these stories stuck with me into adulthood.

I’ve read them at least 4 times start to finish, and they never get any less engaging. I’m totally invested in all the characters and the world that Kerr has built, even when jumping back and forth between timelines these books are so well written it’s easy to keep up.

When i’m in a ready slump (or life slump), I was jump back into the world of Nevyn, Jill and Rhodry.

Recommend to any lover of fantasy books.
