3.0 out of 5 stars
Didn't like Rhys character. What a jerk!!!, January 1, 2010
This review is from: Silver Silence (Mass Market Paperback)
Ok, So I read this whole series, and when i got to this book, I was skimming threw the pages. Bla bla blabla . In the first books the leading men new they wanted the women, and stopped at nothing to have them. In this book Rhys didnt want anything to do with breena. He went out of his why to stay away from her. He was an insensitive jerk! If you even make it 3/4 the way threw the book they do finally hook up, with breena throwing herself at him! AGAIN! he takes her virginity and gets up and leaves! Whatever.... I only gave it 3 stars because the concept of the story is good and magical.

5.0 out of 5 stars
fantastic romantic fantasy, November 1, 2009
This review is from: Silver Silence (Mass Market Paperback)
Rhys the Druid seeks surviving Druids to bring them home to Avalon. Breena the seer loves Rhys, but knows it must remain unrequited as he is forbidden to love any female.
She travels to a holy shrine to pray for divine guidance as Rhys has been away for almost a year; which is something he has never done in his decade and a half time traveling mission. Breena meets Myrddin, who asks her to save Igraine in the Lost lands. Tracking Breena, Rhys travels into the future to find her and bring her home. Breena discovers a scheme to harm Igraine; Rhys, who has caught up to her, acquiesces to assist her in reuniting the woman with her beloved. Although he knows the price, Rhys can no longer deny his love for Breena.
Returning to the pre-Camelot Druid realm of THE GRAIL KING and DEEP MAGIC, Joy Nash provides a fantastic romantic fantasy as the hero continues his quest to save the Arthurian future. Breena and Rhys are strong protagonists working the mists of time to save those who they believe should dwell in Avalon while also struggling with love, a forbidden emotion for the hero. Fans of Camelot will relish Joy Nash's latest entry in her super saga as SILVER SILENCE is a terrific tale in a strong series.

The Brothers Stupendous? Are You Kidding Me?, March 3, 2010
This review is from: Silver Silence (Mass Market Paperback)
I read THE GRAIL KING and loved it, so when I saw this book I grabbed it right away.
Bad mistake.
Even though Joy Nash is a talented writer, who does wonderful research and creates interesting characters, this book really was hard for me to get through. There is way, way, way too much Arthurian lore, way too much comic relief (the Brothers Stupendous?) and way too little of the kind of steamy yet caring romance that made THE GRAIL KING a classic.
I'd love to know what Joy Nash was really thinking on how she shaped the story. It must have been like, "mm, another sex scene for Rhys and Breena, or watch Merlin turn himself into a fish? Mmm, man becomes fish, exciting! Another sex scene for Rhys and Breena or watch the Brothers Stupendous do fifth rate Arthurian vaudeville. Mmm, vaudeveille, exciting!"
Joy Nash is a heck of a talented romance writer -- but you'd never know it from this book.
Bring back the old Joy Nash!!!!
