Wondering why you should even try The Kaerling series? Here are some readers’ thoughts on the books so far …
“Here is a story that will linger in your thoughts long after the reading is done. Lyrical prose, and a well constructed plot, will keep me reading and rereading this author’s work.” Claire
“The story had me feeling close to Otta and like I felt her discomfort as though she was my friend. Then there was Erl, learning about the Suryans, as well as the unfolding significance of the Unicorn’s Trail. Author Freya Pickard has a great way of keeping the reader hanging from chapter to chapter, which is a good thing – It makes me want to read more!” Christy
“Freya’s ability to craft complex characters and create an interwoven storyline shows well in this volume! The way things play out as the story unfolds, with some mysteries answered and others yet to be revealed, makes me want to know more of this world!” Troy
“Stunning read. This book brings together all the separate storylines from the first 5 volumes of The Kaerling. I sat and read it all in one go – I just couldn’t stop reading!” Jiri
“I love this whole series. Each book builds. Suspense and action. My only disappointment was that the next book was not available yet. I love the magic and different cultures that interact with each other. Just delightful and dreadful at the same time. What do I mean? You’ll have to read the series…. you’ll be glad you did!!” Ruth
“This is one of those fantasy series that flies under the radar and really should have a wider audience. Freya has a real command of the written word and her pacing and beats flow perfectly, making the story a very pleasant read and the world an even greater pleasure to visit. This is the type of work that should be taken seriously by fantasy fans. Great book for any fantasy fan looking for a well crafted read.” Chris
“I’ve finished reading Prince Silas recently, I liked everything in it! Pickard masters the written word so wonderfully! The scenes I enjoyed the most are the events taking place at sea, I felt so involved and captured by the descriptions that I found myself part of the story. Prince Silas is one of my favourite books of the series!” Claudia
“If you are a Fantasy aficionado, this book will not disappoint.” Gwen
“I loved watching Otta and Lored’s relationship develop. Their status (basically tolerant foes) changes as one grows kinder as the other grows weaker, and they come to depend on one another. It’s unclear where their relationship will go in the next book, but they managed to help each other through some sticky situations in this book.” Priscilla
