ok reading

I was kind of excited to read something different. The first book I loved. Shapechanging heroine. Couldn't have expected more. Second book, skipped forward five years and went to a different character, ok, can handle that. The remainder of the books in the series jump 20-25 years, and change to the children of the characters in the prior books. All are about serving the prophecy. I normally finish any series I start. I couldn't finish the Cheysuli series. By the end of the sixth book, it was pretty rote on how the entire book went. Meet 20 year old child of former book, he/they have some trouble, tried to be turned to evil, triumph over evil, marry next part of the prophecy, have a child. Rinse and repeat. I couldn't even finish book 7, let alone read book 8, because it was so repetative. In the introduction to Shapechanger's Song, the author admits that the series was origionally unpublishable, and had to change many features of the book to get it publishable on someone being nice. I think some of the features of the book show this, and was kind of disappointed to read this after enjoying the Tiger and Del novels. Over all, first two books in the series (both in the Shapechanger's Song Omnibus), I think are well worth reading. Books 3-8 you can live without, unless you want to rinse and repeat all of the story. Maybe book 8 is different, I don't know. I just couldn't handle any more of the same story line for so many generations. I get the point. Good wins, evil awaits another day.

Long out of print, The Chronicles of Cheysuli is the fantasy epic that launched Jennifer Roberson's best-selling career. A sprawling saga of the exiles-and return-of a warrior race of shapechangers, the magical odyssey begins in these two novels, together for the first time in one volume.
