Description In Favor Of Books Kei's Gift (Darshian Tales #1)

Darshian is a vast land, inhabited by a peaceful, rational society where people with extraordinary Gifts are common, and life is lived according to strong ethical principles. Kuprij is made up of a thousand crowded islands – thrusting, ambitious, war-like, driven by a booming population and a desire to bring its religion and its laws to the whole world. Twenty years ago, it conquered south Darshian, now it has greedy eyes on the north. The war brings Kei, a gentle, fun-loving healer from an isolated village, into collision with Arman, an embittered, honourable general, a man trapped in a loveless marriage and joylessly wedded to duty. The fate of two nations will rest on these two men–and somehow they must not only learn to overcome their own personal difficulties, but bring peace with honour to their countries. If they fail...many innocents will die.

Assess Out Of Books Kei's Gift (Darshian Tales #1)

*Updated review*2 stars. I took back the half star after finishing the epilogue. If I'd only read the last three chapters and not the epilogue, I'd probably have given 2.25 stars. Sooo boring, and the one bit I was interested in wasn't even there. I actually flipped back and forth a bit to see if I'd skipped something, but no. And this is was a shock given how many words there were repeating and reemphasizing everything else...**Original review**2.5 stars. I probably should have rounded down

Okay, okay, enough!I triedI really, really tried to finish. I don't like leaving books unfinished. But enough is enough.D. N. F.This is a story of Kei (a Gifted healer) and Arman (an army general) and their completely boring ass relationship. And their completely boring ass interactions. And their beyond naive outlook on life. Oh, my God, can they be anymore altruistic? Spoiler: they can!Jesus Christ, do they have any moral dilemmas? Any at all? Are they capable of feeling contrite feelings? I

Possibly my favorite m/m book ever. So incredibly fantastic, just like the rest of this author's work. The story is beautifully written, intricately detailed, satisfying long, and appropriately both heart-wrenching and joyful. Absolutely exquisite. It's a bit of an epic tale, and luckily just the beginning for this wonderful series."All this hate is very tiring, isnt it?"- Jena, page 698

Since I read the Nightrunner series I've been looking for a good fantasy book with gay/bisexual main characters. It seems I've finally found it. This book has almost everything I like about fantasy books: a good plot with riveting twists,appealing characters, who aren't just puppets in the hands of an author, but very believable and who have strong personalities, a lovely setting and an interesting world building (this one wasn't really the strongest point of this book, but still)and a nice

An interesting read, but I found it willfully naive in many aspects of its social understanding. Egalitarian social structures are perfectly reasonable and acceptable, but it is painfully obvious that Somerville either doesn't understand the development of state-level societies or wishes to impart a Utopian ideal that cannot be maintained by anything other than willful ignorance and the direct intervention of Gods--or, as she calls them, the Gifted. The Gifted are an element of God-like power

What would like, to have an impressive power......an impressive but unwanted power?Kei is a Darshianese and a healer and the clan heads "son". He must help, because its his gift, heal and be part of someone soul. His life is his clan, his family, and his dream is be the best healer his clan can have. Nothing out of the ordinary should happen, but life is not fair, and Kei will be obligated to give up everything he love, to save everyone he love.Armand is a bitter General of the Prij army. he

I really loved this series. It started out slow and I couldn't understand where and when the two side collided but after Kei meets Arman it went really really fast.I suppose this could be categorized as romance but I think it is more of a fantasy with the core characters being (falling) in love. The story addresses loss and how that might affect people and consequences of those acts. I first thought those were somewhat resolved in this first book but after reading all the books, I am impressed
