A reissue of classic backlist titles from the author of the best selling Farseer Trilogy and The Liveship Traders books. THE LIMBRETH GATE is book three in THE WINDSINGERS series, which introduced her popular gypsy characters, Ki and Vandien. After surviving the conflict between the Windsingers and the Wizard Dresh, life for Ki and her lover, Vandien, settles down. But although Ki's bargain for the Relic bought their lives and their freedom, the wrath of the Hugh Windsinger council is not easily sated. They are deadly enemies, and even the protection of Rebeke, the most powerful of the Windsingers, is not enough to prevent Ki from being tricked through the Limbreth Gate. In the darkness beyond lives a bored and arrogant local god whose only obsession is collecting minds to manipulate and amuse himself with. He reveals to Ki the secrets of her past. Vandien attempts to free her from the god's enchantment. But Ki may be content to remain with the god forever! Rise beyond adventure and confront destiny in book three of Megan Lindholm's stunning Ki and Vandian Quartet.

Megan Lindholm's prose continues to be an absolute delight as we enter the third book in the `Ki and Vandian' quartet- her language really is gorgeous- particularly in her descriptions of food and drink. My mouth watered as I consumed this tale, nourishing my soul if not my stomach as I read.
And at last with this book loyal readers are rewarded with some advancement of Ki's personal story that was begun with the human/harpy slaughter at the beginning of book one. Since then and before I reached the middle of this book, I hadn't felt like the author had lived up to that spectacular debut of her feisty lead female character. But with a surprising revelation from Dresh the magician Lindholm re-opens the character-can-of-worms, exploring a depth to Ki that I'd felt sorely lacking in the previous story and it's a revelation which has the potential to bring this quartet to an explosive conclusion.
`The Limbreth Gate' is a much simpler story than I was expecting, especially following on from the intricate plotting of `The Windsingers', but maybe that's why I preferred it- that and the fact that some semblance of order to Ki's life and to the world around her (that supports various different species) is beginning to take shape. I found this much more satisfying than the whirlpool of action, characters and plot devices in `The Windsingers', which didn't seem to reveal much about Ki or Vandian as characters, or advance their personal stories, but rather seemed to suspend the complexities of their lives and the tragedies in their past in favour of a diverting one-off adventure.
Highly enjoyable. Very much looking forward to the final chapter- `Luck of the Wheels', although at the same time- definitely not looking forward to the series ending. No one does bittersweet like Lindholm.
