The Dragon Mage #1 - The Red Wyvern product reviews

In my teens, I remember reading and rereading the previous books in Kerr's Deverry Cycle, and had never gotten round to reading any from the Dragon Mage series. So it was with great enthusiasm that I dived into the first Katharine Kerr book I've read in years, with high expectations after having loved every one of her books I'd read previously. I was not to be disappointed!!! Kerr once again has written a fast-paced, enthralling novel that keeps its grip on you from the first page til the very last... and even then, as the book closed on the final page, I was already reaching for book #2 in this wonderful new section of the Deverry Cycle -"The Black Raven".
"The Red Wyvern" brought me back in touch with characters I hadn't read about in years, but still remembered as clear as though I'd only just recently finished her other books, instead of years ago. From the crazy, yet loveable Beserker - Rhodry, to the talented Bard Maddyn, and of course dear old "no-one"...a.k.a Nevyn, Dweomer Master who pops up here there and everywhere... it's rather hard to forget these characters, and has me extremely glad there are already 6 books in the Dragon Mage series alone, so it'll be a while before I've finished with Deverry! In a way, Kerr is very much like another of my favourite authors - Jennifer Fallon - in that every book she writes (without fail) is thoroughly enjoyable, and, unlike many authors who, by the time you've reached book #3 in their series, you're glad it's over, is an author who knows how to keep a series interesting, no matter how many books are in it!!
if you've read any of Katharine Kerr's books before, or enjoy the fantasy genre, then this is definitely one I urge you to give a go. You won't be disappointed!!
