House of Moons

Set in a world similar to Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover series, K.D. Wentworth's Moonspeaker overcomes its generic trappings with unexpected grace and humor. But wheras Bradley relies on the over thirty novels in her series, set over a period of many centuries, to provide her readers with a complex and fully realized backdrop, Wentworth accomplishes the same feat in one short novel.

I enjoyed the story of young Haemas on the run from her home for a crime she doesn't remember committing. She is pursued by both good and evil searchers. The use of psi talents is put to good use by the author. I went directly to the sequel, HOUSE OF MOONS.

This is the sequel to MOONSPEAKER, which is an excellent fantasy. Once again, I enjoyed reading about this world of psi talents. I did go down a star because some of the side trips were a little mind-boggling. I would also have liked a little bit more interaction between Haemas and Kevisson. They spend most of the book apart, which is a shame because they make a fabulous couple. But that's the romance reader in me.

The Kashi Lords of Desalaya can enter the snug warrens of another mind as easily as gold slips through water. This is the world of Haemas, daughter and young heir to the House of Tal'ayn, who must relearn to guard her whispered thoughts and rebuild her powers when she flees her mountain home of Kith Shiene, tormented by half-memories that she may have murdered her father.Haemas is pursued through the protective psi barrier and into the coarse Chierra lowlands by her cousin, Jarid, who hopes to destroy the only link to the truth locked in Haemas's mind. She is also sought by a trained searcher, Kevisson, intent on returning her to face the Council. But a third power seeks Haemas, one that can remember a time before the Kashi Lords learned to misuse the mysterious ilsera crystals and threaten the very existence of Desalaya.Moonspeaker is a finely crafted tale to curl up with in front of a fire on a cold night whether you are fond of fantasy or science fiction.
