Representaion To Books The Dark Mirror (The Bridei Chronicles #1)

THE DARK MIRROR is the first book in Juliet Marillier's Bridei Chronicles.

Bridei is a young nobleman fostered at the home of Broichan, one of the most powerful druids in the land. His earliest memories are not of hearth and kin but of this dark stranger who while not unkind is mysterious in his ways. The tasks that he sets Bridei appear to have one goal-to make him a vessel for some distant purpose. What that purpose is Bridei cannot fathom but he trusts the man and is content to learn all he can about the ways of the world.

But something happens that will change Bridei's world forever...and possibly wreck all of Broichan's plans. For Bridei finds a child on their doorstep on a bitter MidWinter Eve, a child seemingly abandoned by the fairie folk. It is uncommonly bad luck to have truck with the Fair Folk and all counsel the babe's death. But Bridei sees an old and precious magic at work here and heedless of the danger fights to save the child. Broichan relents but is wary.

The two grow up together and as Bridei comes to manhood he sees the shy girl Tuala blossom into a beautiful woman. Broichan sees the same process and feels only danger...for Tuala could be a key part in Bridei's future...or could spell his doom.

Assess About Books The Dark Mirror (The Bridei Chronicles #1)
I rounding my rating up to a 3, but only because it's Marillier. I'm a huge fan of her Sevenwaters trilogy; after reading the reviews, I ended up buying The Dark Mirror used. I agree with a lot of what has been said here: this book may not be bad as far as general fantasy is concerned, but for Marillier it's lackluster. Worth reading if you're a fan, but not her best effort. The Dark Mirror, written in third person, mostly follows Bridei, the hero. There is a "heroine," Tuala, but her entire

Okay, I *love* this book!!! like, incredibly love it!!! Excellent blend of history and fantasy in a quite unique timeperiod: writing about the 6th century Picts is no easy feat, since most of their culture has been lost. I will caution that this is a very "wordy" book: Juliet Marillier is very good about drawing readers into her story through vividly descriptive passages. In other words, she spends a lot of time, I think, on details, and sometimes that can seem overwhelming. Fact and fiction may

~4 and a half stars~ (I can't go any lower for a Marillier book)This review and more at http://fortheloveofliterature.com/Before even starting this book, I knew I would like it. It's written by one of my favorite authors - one that never lets me down. It's another amazing tale of twisted fate and Otherworld influences. I loved the two main characters, Bridei and Tuala (although Tuala kept reminding me of Sorcha, my favorite Marillier character from Daughter of the Forest). Bridei is courageous

I first learn about the author and appreciated her very much - as most do - through the Sevenaters series. I really liked the combination of historical context and fantasy, this innocent romance and this beautiful look at female nature, without the usual very popular exaggerations. In this series she does something similar, taking us to Scotland of the sixth century - before it was called thus - at a time when it was still under the control of the Picts, and by taking events from history and

(review originally posted on my livejournal account: http://intoyourlungs.livejournal.com/...)I've heard of Juliet Marillier before, but only really in passing. I've heard more of less good things about her, but not much about this book in particular, so I was mildly looking forward to reading this, but my expectations weren't astronomically high or anything.Sadly, this book ended up being more disappointing than anything.I guess I'll begin with my hugest peeve with the novel, which is... the

Despite a very slow start (it took me some months so get through it) I ended up really enjoying this. I shipped it.

Come with me now, now, I need you . . . Showing her with his hands, his mouth, his body just what this need had become, a thing that seemed fit to devour him unless it were satisfied . . . Said girl is 13 years old. DO. NOT. WANT.I love Juliet Marillier, but this series is not among my favorites. It was a confusing book. It's set in a Pictish 500 AD or so era, with some magic and druidism, and tbh I have no idea wtf it is that a druid does and what the main character (Bridei) is meant to do.
