Book Description

The Slow World, Book 1 October 4, 1993
Cassidy had no idea who she was or where she came from. Her earliest recollection was of meeting the people who called her a Horseman, for her ability to communicate almost telepathically with her gray mare. But they could tell her nothing about her missing memory, nor did they care. Even the community of farmers who took her in seemed to find her amnesia unremarkable. But Cassidy was plagued by a persistent, nagging doubt that the biggest part of her problem was that the world around her was not her world.

Yet when the sight of common, everyday objects -- sunglasses, a saddle, a rifle -- began to trigger a flood of partial memory, Cassidy knew that something was dreadfully wrong. Worse yet, the more she remembered, the more she was certain she had come from a different world -- a realization that threatened not only her sanity, but her very life . . .

4.0 out of 5 stars Ther Persistance of Memory, March 19, 2004
By 
This review is from: The Persistence of Memory (The Slow World, Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)
Karen Ripely has a fresh, new approach to fantasy writing. I have been a fantasy fan for years now and found this series very refreshing. I was sucked into the story from the very first pages. The characters are very well developed and the story moves along at a fairly rapid rate with only enough peripheral description to effectively paint the world in which Cassidy finds herself. This is a must-read series for any fantasy reader.
