Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
After long collaborative labor on the Thieves' World series, Abbey works solo again in this workmanlike fantasy featuring court intrigue, war, family feuds, sorcery--in short, all the things that, for quite a large number of people, make fantasy worth reading. The plot is classic, though with a few original twists, and is executed with consistent competence and very superior characterization--always a strong point in Abbey's work, whether in fantasy or horror. Eminently successful at the basic task of keeping the reader turning pages, and a good addition for most fantasy collections. Roland Green

Sequel to The Wooden Sword,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beneath the Web (Mass Market Paperback)
It is in 'Beneath the Web' that the whole story really gets going, as set up in 'The Wooden Sword'. In the world patiently crafted Lyn Abbey lets her characters lose to solve the mystery of 'Dart' and wether he is man, demon, fetch, or who knows what. Berika the sheperdess came off relatively poorly in the first book, still gaining her feet. As she finds her power that changes. The obsessive reader of science fiction for some thirty five years, I rarely find a book who's ending I can't guess, but Lyn Abbey makes the whole thing a unique experience with her depth of detail and characterization. I only wish I could say of her that 'she doesn't know when to end a series', as two books seems to be her limit. A pity, because the rich worlds she carves out have the potential for much more. These two books are worth finding.END
