Best of the Series
Daughter of Ancients was definitely my favorite book of the series! It was a good ending though I think that Berg left room enough that she could have written more novels in the same world, so I am a bit disappointed that she didn't. Really a great series and good example of how talented Berg is to have been able to pull off something so complex.

A perfect ending to a perfect story
This series has it all:
1. In depth characters
2. a good plotline
3. just a touch of romance
4. a whiff of magic
5. Strong storyline.
Miss Berg does not stray from her first intention, she does not stray from the morality of her characters, she makes them blossom, come to live and evolve like real people.
In fact it's all about the main characters and the magic is crucial yet second in command.
For me this series is well-thought, thorough, the characters jump of the pages into reality and well I enjoyed it a whole lot.
It's intriguing, surprising, unpredictable and yet a constant.
Well done

the very best
Carol Berg, in my humble opinion, is the very best living writer of "dependable" fantasy...i.e. nothing that offends my sensibilities, but transports me to a place I'd like to be, filled with people I'd like to know. While I consider each of her books I've had the privilege to read as safe territory, her characters are anything but safe, each generally beat to a pulp one or more times in each story line. Some would consider this violence excessive, but it always moves the story forward and promotes the philosophy of pain and hardship's place in selflessness. A lost concept in the cocoon of ease and comfort in which most of us dwell.
Daughter of Ancients delivers all the promise of the preceding Bridge of D'Arnath books. It is satisfying, suspenseful, rich and so very human...with the delightful tendency of Carol Berg to often surprise us thoroughly and tie her plot lines together without the too-tidy endings that so many authors fall into. Thank you, Carol, for the gift of your imagination and the concise nature of your beautiful writing!

Excellent Read for Berg Fans
The whole Bridge of D'Arnath series has been riveting. The last of the series is not anti-climatic like many wrap-up books. It is a very good book.

A satisfying conclusion
Gerick, once a Lord of Zhev'Na, shows where his true loyalties lie once he's exposed to the magic of the Dread Lords. A very exciting book, no doubt the best of the series. It winds its way from viewpoint to viewpoint, never losing the feeling of impending climax.
A great book of a good series. I thoroughly enjoyed it!!
