Reddit reviews The Curse of the Mistwraith (Wars of Light & Shadow, Book 1)

Janny Wurts - War of Light and Shadow plays around with this concept. I don't remember precisely, its been 13 years. Also, it may be an incomplete series - not sure.

You need to edit this comment ASAP with a link to purchase :-)

I'm about half way through the first one, Curse of the Mistwraith.

I don't think I can answer your question. It's self-evidently long. It would be hard for a ten book series not to be 'complex' in terms of plot at the very least.

Philosophical is in the eye of the beholder. It's certainly true that the problems seem to stem from the conflicting non-violent, non-avaricious ambitions of the main characters rather than from a desire to conquer or to hold back the evil overlord.

It's well-written but in a manner that will annoy some while over-joying others. My approach to such a quandary would be to read the first X pages and see how it hits you.

You can even 'look inside' on Amazon!

Her best finished series is: Cycle of fire

Her best ongoing series: Wars of Light and Shadow

It's encompassing a lot of books now, and is coming out pretty slowly. However, read the first book to get a good feel for the overall plot.

I'm pretty sure this is curse of the mistwraith by janny quartz
