The Mirror of Her Dreams

Volume I of Mordant's Need

De: Stephen R. Donaldson

Narrado por: Scott Brick

With The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, Stephen R. Donaldson changed the face of fantasy fiction forever. In The Mirror of Her Dreams, the astonishing first novel in the two-volume Mordant’s Need series, Donaldson shows us a world of wondrous beauty and seductive illusion, where mirrors hold the deadliest of magics and nothing is what it seems.

The daughter of rich but neglectful parents, Terisa Morgan lives alone in a New York City apartment, a young woman who has grown to doubt her own existence. Surrounded by the flat reassurance of mirrors, she leads an unfulfilled life - until the night a strange man named Geraden comes crashing through one of her mirrors, on a quest to find a champion to save his kingdom of Mordant from a pervasive evil that threatens the land. Terisa is no champion. She wields neither magic nor power. And yet, much to her own surprise, when Geraden begs her to come back with him, she agrees.

Now, in a culture where women are little more than the playthings of powerful men, in a castle honeycombed with secret passages and clever traps, in a kingdom threatened from without and within by enemies able to appear and vanish out of thin air, Terisa must become more than the pale reflection of a person. For the way back to Earth is closed to her. And the enemies of Mordant will stop at nothing to see her dead.

Awesome

The best fantasy series I’ve ever read. Can’t recommend it highly enough. Rich world building and intricate character and plot development; most of all a fun ride.

Slow start but well worth the Journey

it's a different type of fantasy but has all the growth and character development one could ever want. it was a great listen.

Fabulous

Great story to listen to on the way to work and read. This makes it come alive.

Interesting

Any additional comments?

The story is difficult to get into because it moves along so slowly. I'm still in the first half because I can't listen more than an hour before needing to listen to some other book with more action.

wonderful
