A review by apryde6226
Camber of Culdi by Katherine Kurtz
4.0
I've been reading books by Katherine Kurtz since I was in the 6th grade. It's in large part because of this book and its sequel that I've loved to read most of my life.
I think the only reason that I didn't give this 5 stars is that the book is so short that some of the characters come across as more 2 dimensional than 3 dimensional. In some cases, there are more questions than answers. For example, how did the Festil's come to power to begin with? How did Cinhil's grandfather really escape and while it's clear that Dan Draper had told Nicolas / Cinhil about being the Haldane heir, why was it that he didn't believe him.
Beyond that, the author paints a picture of life in the dark ages that is fascinating. This is a great book for all ages.
