3.0 out of 5 starsOne of MZB's earlier works
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2013
These two books are an essential link in the Darkover saga, but they are most decidedly works that MZB produced before she fully matured as a writer. They are quite readable and I appreciate them as important parts of the ongoing "history."

5.0 out of 5 stars Filling in the gaps!

This was an interesting set of stories to continue along the data of Darkover. It continues to tell of the reintegration of the two filthy on Darkover. This also involves some of the other on that exist. There are some very concepts discussed that are also very interesting from a Darkover fans point of view.

5.0 out of 5 stars A World Devided #5
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2014

I had forgotten how marvelous the Darkover tales are. They give us another choice at what we could be if given the chance. They let the modern us and the past us live in one world. A world that does not want to grab everything like greedy children that modern us take for granted but only want the best of things and them only in small doses.
I'm the greedy modern I want to absorb these stories in one gulp. But find myself rereading them and each time they are like new. I find a tidbit or morsful and at times a full meal of emotion and gleefully cheer the Darkover world on to the next story!

4.0 out of 5 stars ... because "The Bloody Sun" is one of my all-time favorite stories. The other stories aren't bad
Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2014

I got this because "The Bloody Sun" is one of my all-time favorite stories. The other stories aren't bad, and they match well with "The Bloody Sun" - all of the Darkover books are excellent. I'll probably end up getting more Darkover omnibuses, maybe the one with "Sharra's Exile", or something like that.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Darkover book set

I read these years ago, and a reference in a post reminded me of them. A good read, though I am still conflicted about the author, now passed on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Darkover Series, A World Divided
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2013
Verified Purchase
Until reading the Darkover Series, I had read little of this Author past "The Mists of Avalon," which totally captivated me. I was looking for a fantasy series that would hold my interest and stretch my imagination in ways it had not been challenged previously. This series does an amazing job in creating an entire world, a new planet, including climate, suns and moons. The characters are fun, creative and the ideas are fun well worth reading and considering.

5.0 out of 5 stars Darkover, does it get any better?
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2014

Marion Zimmer Bradley was a phenomenal author. I devour all that she has written. It is a great sadness to me that no new stories will ever be written by her. So I am very biased towards all her works. I have read all her stories so this was not new to me. I already knew I liked it before I bought it for my kindle.

I love that this is a bridge from the old Darkover to the new with stories of how the terrans are interacting with the darkovans. It helps set the stage for the terran novels and explains how things evolved after the terrans rediscovered darkover.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite authors and 3 of her Darkover books

One of my favorite authors and 3 of her Darkover books. What's not to like! Especially as many of her earlier ones are hard to find in the single copies. A definite bargain!
