The Lady of the Sorrows The Bitterbynde Book II The Bitterbynde Book 2 Cecilia DartThornton 9780446611343 Books

This trilogy is so beautifully elaborate. Even years later, I can't stop thinking about the subtle elements and twists that gave it such a layered ending. Personally, it's better than Tolkien. It's very verbose and extensively descriptive to create such a deep, rich world and later hint at subtle side-plot points or reveal hidden connections that lynchpin major plots. It had me re-reading over and over because I didn't catch nuanced hints driving the beautiful symmetry. Has several of the strongest female lead characters that I've ever encountered in fantasy. It really is a travesty it's not more widely known.

The Lady of the Sorrows The Bitterbynde Book II The Bitterbynde Book 2 Cecilia DartThornton 9780446611343 Books Reviews

"The Lady of the Sorrows" is the second volume in Cecilia Dart-Thornton's Bitterbynde trilogy. I was worried when the 'ill-made mute' turned drop-dead gorgeous at the end of volume 1, but luckily it doesn't seem to affect the heroine, Rohain's pluck, or her determination to discover her pre-amnesiac past.

There is a mounting tension in this book that was missing in the relatively plotless first volume of the trilogy. The author begins to frame the overarching struggle between good and evil. She begins to drop hints as to why it is so important that Rohain should recover her past.

Some of the hints aren't so subtle The Wild Hunt mounts a full-scale, coordinated assault on the tower where Rohain is visiting; the forces of evil blow up an island, Krakatau-style, where she seeks refuge. (There are a few minor errors regarding lava viscosity and the behavior of tsunamis, but overall this section of the book is a splendid, scary reinterpretation of the eruption of the Indonesian volcano, Krakatau in 1883).

As in "The Ill-Made Mute," Cecilia Dart-Thornton specializes in long, static, but beautiful descriptions of scenery, clothing, courtly manners, holiday feasts, the land of Faêran (Faêrie), etc. Even though these descriptions slow down the action, they really bring the reader into the scene

"They found shelter in a mossy stone ruin that had once, in ages long past, conceivably been a byre. Honeysuckle and traveler's joy formed a roof over the few remaining, slug-haunted walls. Against those they piled dry bracken to serve as a bed. Not daring to light a fire, they unwrapped the last slabs of cold porridge from their dock leaves and dined in silence."

Beautiful. I'm right there under the honesuckle, eating cold porridge with Rohain and her friends.

Read "The Ill-Made Mute" (in which Rohain is called 'Imrhien') before tackling "The Lady of the Sorrows" or you might not understand the story and all of its lovingly crafted accouterments. Then you'll have to read the concluding volume of this unique trilogy, "The Battle of Evernight" to see how it all ends for Imrhien-Rohain.
couldn't wait to read t he last book, but was disappointed with the end
This book rambled on a bit. It also used ideas from fairy tales that are common. I kept skipping because I lost interest in places. I liked the last book somewhat better.
I really loved the author's first book, but I felt she lost the main plot in the second book. It was still brillently written, but the when the main character found her past, it convuluted the plot. I began to question whether the basic facts about the main character were acurate from the first book. In the first book the character starts out as a small child, but the second book hints that she was much older at that time? I got confused.
I love this series. Her knowledge of celtic mythology definitely adds to the appeal of the books. Anyone who has an interest in it should not miss this series.
