3.0 out of 5 stars Great characters - shrouded in mysticism, July 1, 2001

This review is from: Magic And Mist (Historical) (Paperback)

I have a problem with mystic books - maybe it's because I don't know a lot about druid rituals and history.

But then I think - should you have to have a degree in Celtic history to enjoy a medieval romance?

Davey is "given" to Meredith to help her defeat her enemy, Owain. Meredith, by her religion, is not allowed to kill. So Davey is chosen as her bodyguard / hired "hit man". Davey and Meredith go on a jouney, trying to stop Owain from amassing too much power. Their only weapons are Davey's strong right arm and Meredith's spells.

Even though Davey is "given" to her, Meredith is plagued with doubt about him. Much to Davey's frustration, she doesn't really answer any of his questions. She doesn't seem to trust him with her fears and worries about her enemy. She tells him that they can never be lovers - that it would destroy everything Druid.

Davey is a fours senses kind of guy - if he can see it, touch it, feel it, and taste it, than he can believe in it. Meredith's very Druidness is therefore very frustrating to him.

The problems I had with this book were many. If Meredith isn't allowed to kill, why is she able to order someone killed? If she is truly convinced that Davey was chosen for her, why does she have so many doubts about him?

Davey is a great hero - strong, family oriented - willing to do what had to be done. He even accepts that he and Meredith may never be lovers. He's not real happy, but accepts their love as too genuine. If their love can never be consummated, he is okay with that.

Meredith, too, is a good character. She's well loved by her people and is willing to risk her own life to save them.

In the end, though, I could only give this one 3 stars. I never really felt the chemistry between these two. Meredith just doesn't seem to trust Davey and that bothered me.

one of three pseudo-historical books centered oround the lives and loves of three Clan Gunn brothers. Good escapism, Clan purists will probably not care for it.
