( ) I was so glad I had this already in my library when I finished The Mirror of Her Dreams. I started right in on it, no waiting a year for it to be published as I did when it was first published. Just as it did 30+ years ago, it drew me into its story. This book flew along as there was not the need to create the world and people as there was in the first book. Terisa and Geraden discover who they are and finally take action. While disaster seems to follow them from place to place, they are growing in confidence and resolve. Yes, I did follow Terisa's growth the most, but I also watched King Joyse and began to understand his path as Terisa and Geraden did. I found their insights fascinating. Who would like it? To begin with, this is not a standalone book; you must read The Mirror of Her Dreams first. But if you enjoy well-written fantasy, a touch of intrigue, and good people holding back the dark, then you would enjoy this series. They say that the darkest time is just before the dawn and in this second part of 'Mordant's Need', the two heroes find themselves on a desperate search of the land of Mordant for allies, but disaster only seems to follow them as they have the Queen stolen right from under their noses as she prepares to return to the side of her husband and the King's youngest daughter going off after her abductors in an attempt to rescue her. Fortunately, Prince Kragan, the Alend Contender currently besieging Mordant's King is an honourable sort and he lets them through to give the news to the King before the forces march off to the final confrontation with the evil forces confronting Mordant It does seem that Mordant is facing a calamitous challenge and Donaldson doesn't quite come up with a successful answer as to how everything gets resolved - I don't think that truly happy endings are something he's very comfortable with somehow geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

In The Mirror of Her Dreams, the dazzling first volume of Mordant's Need, New York Times bestselling author Stephen R. Donaldson introduced us to the richly imagined world of Mordant, where mirrors are magical portals into places of beauty and terror. Now, with A Man Rides Through, Donaldson brings the story of Terisa Morgan to an unforgettable conclusion. . . . Aided by the powerful magic of Vagel, the evil Arch-Imager, the merciless armies are marching against the kingdom of Mordant. In its hour of greatest need, two unlikely champions emerge. One is Geraden, whose inability to master the simplest skills of Imagery has made him a laughingstock. The other is Terisa Morgan, transferred to Mordant from a Manhattan apartment by Geraden's faulty magic. Together, Geraden and Terisa discover undreamed-of talents within themselves--talents that make them more than a match for any Imager . . . including Vagel himself. Unfortunately, those talents also mark them for death. Branded as traitors, they are forced to flee the castle for their lives. Now, all but defenseless in a war-torn countryside ravaged by the vilest horrors Imagery can spawn, Geraden and Terisa must put aside past failures and find the courage to embrace their powers--and their love--before Vagel can spring his final trap.
