A review by divadiane
High Deryni by Katherine Kurtz
3.0
I honestly don't know what to think. This third installment was much more interesting and engaging than the 2nd, but there are 2 major denouements that just fizzle because of an easy solution that just happens.
First, Warin's complete change of heart because of Morgan's Mind-seeing and demonstration of his healing abilities and the following pardoning and lifting of the excommunication of Duncan and Morgan was just too easy and fast.
Second, the final battle of arcane powers doesn't even get going, because Rhydon is actually someone else masquerading and waiting, for what actually? An easy way to end the book without any of the good guys dying? Why not poison Wencit years ago?!?
Ah well, a disappointing end to an otherwise very good book. I did like how each of the main characters grappled with their feelings and moral conduct.
