A review by taisie22
The Forbidden Tower by Marion Zimmer Bradley

adventurous challenging dark informative reflective medium-paced

3.5

I'm pretty sure I read this one before, but it came up again in my quest to read all the Darkover books in chronological order. It's not one of my favorite books in the series. It's a continuation of The Spell Sword. Andrew Carr, a Terran, marries Callista, while Damon marries her twin, Ellemir. The book tells the story of their growing bonds as they struggle to repair the damage inflicted on Callista from her training as a Keeper. I loved this part of the book, but there's also a side plot with Desi, the unacknowledged illegitimate son of the women, that bogs down the book, in my opinion. 
This book does explain a lot of the work of the Tower as well as the relationships between those attuned to each other in a matrix.  On to the next book.
