Praise for the Novels of Carol Berg

The Spirit Lens

In this superbly realized leadoff to Bergs quasi-Renaissance fantasy trilogy... Berg shapes the well-worn elements of epic fantasy into a lush, absorbing narrative.

Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Rich with vivid characters and unforgettable places.... [Berg] spins an infectiously enjoyable series opener that fans of thought-provoking fantasy and intriguing mystery should appreciate.

Library Journal

A super opening to what looks like a great alternate Renaissance fantasy.... Fans will appreciate this strong beginning as science and sorcery collide when three undercover agents investigate the divine and unholy collision of murder, magic, and physics.

Genre Go Round Reviews

Berg is entirely adept at creating a detailed and nuanced fantasy world, made all the more impressive by noting that other books she has written seem to be about other worlds with other rules.

I Dont Write Summaries

A genuine page-turner that should please both mystery and fantasy fans.

Booklist

A nonstop ride to a superb ending that left my appetite whetted for the next installment.

Fantasy Book Critic

Berg is a master world builder that novice fantasy authors would do well to study. This first installment in a new trilogy, Collegia Magica, is a winner.

Romantic Times

The Spirit Lens is an incredibly enjoyable fantasy adventure for those who love unexpected heroes, web-worked plots, magic versus technology, and librarians with a skill for investigative spying.

The Reader Eclectic

Breath and Bone

The narrative crackles with intensity against a vivid backdrop of real depth and conviction, with characters to match. Altogether superior.

Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Bergs lush, evocative storytelling and fully developed characters add up to a first-rate purchase for most fantasy collections.

Library Journal

Replete with magic-powered machinations, secret societies, and doomsday divinations, the emotionally intense second volume of Bergs intrigue-laden Lighthouse Duet concludes the story of Valen.... Fans of Marion Zimmer Bradleys Avalon sequence and Sharon Shinn will be rewarded.

Publishers Weekly

Berg combines druid and Christian influences against a backdrop of sorcerers, priestesses, priests, deep evil, and a dying land to create an engrossing tale to get lost in... enjoyable.

Monsters and Critics

An excellent read... a satisfying sequel.

Fresh Fiction

Flesh and Spirit

The vividly rendered details... give this book such power. Berg brings to life every stone in a peaceful monastery and every nuance in a stratified society, describing the difficult dirty work of ordinary life as beautifully as she conveys the heart-stopping mysticism of holiness just beyond human perception.

Sharon Shinn, national bestselling author of Quatrain

Valen is unquestionably memorablein what is definitely a dark fantasy as much concerned with Valens internal struggle as with his conflicts with others.

Booklist

Chilling fantasy.

Publishers Weekly

Fast-paced.... Berg creates a troubled world full of politics, anarchy, and dark magic.... The magic is fascinating.

SFRevu

Carol Berg has done a masterful job of creating characters, places, religions, and political trials that grab and hold your attention.... Dont miss one of 2007s best fantasy books!

Romance Reviews Today

[Berg] excels at creating worlds.... Im eagerly awaiting the duologys concluding volume, Breath and Bone.... An engrossing and lively tale, with enough action to keep you hungry for more.

The Davis Enterprise

The Bridge of DArnath Novels

A very promising start to a new series.

The Denver Post

Berg has mastered the balance between mystery and storytelling [and] pacing; she weaves past and present together, setting a solid foundation.... Its obvious [she] has put incredible thought into who and what makes her characters tick.

The Davis Enterprise

Berg exhibits her skill with language, world building, and the intelligent development of the magic that affects and is affected by the characters.... A promising new multivolume work that should provide much intelligent entertainment.

Booklist

Imagination harnessed to talent produces a fantasy masterpiece, a work so original and believable that it will be very hard to wait for the next book in this series to be published.

Midwest Book Review

[Seri] is an excellent main heroine; her voice, from the first person, is real and practical.... Im truly looking forward to seeing what happens next.

SF Site

Gut-wrenching, serious fantasy fiction.

Science Fiction Romance

Song of the Beast Winner of the Colorado Book Award for Science Fiction/Fantasy

The plot keeps twisting right until the end... entertaining characters.

Locus

Bergs fascinating fantasy is a puzzle story, with a Celtic-flavored setting and a plot as intricate and absorbing as fine Celtic lacework.... The characters are memorable, and Bergs intelligence and narrative skill make this stand-alone fantasy most commendable.

Booklist

It would be easy to categorize it as another dragon fantasy book. Instead, it is a well-crafted mystery.... Definitely recommended for libraries looking for high-quality fantasy and mystery additions.
