Rendition To Books The Dark Mirror (The Bridei Chronicles #1)

THE DARK MIRROR is the first book in Juliet Marillier's Bridei Chronicles. Bridei is a young nobleman fostered at the home of Broichan, one of the most powerful druids in the land. His earliest memories are not of hearth and kin but of this dark stranger who while not unkind is mysterious in his ways. The tasks that he sets Bridei appear to have one goal-to make him a vessel for some distant purpose. What that purpose is Bridei cannot fathom but he trusts the man and is content to learn all he can about the ways of the world. But something happens that will change Bridei's world forever...and possibly wreck all of Broichan's plans. For Bridei finds a child on their doorstep on a bitter MidWinter Eve, a child seemingly abandoned by the fairie folk. It is uncommonly bad luck to have truck with the Fair Folk and all counsel the babe's death. But Bridei sees an old and precious magic at work here and heedless of the danger fights to save the child. Broichan relents but is wary. The two grow up together and as Bridei comes to manhood he sees the shy girl Tuala blossom into a beautiful woman. Broichan sees the same process and feels only danger...for Tuala could be a key part in Bridei's future...or could spell his doom.

Weigh Up Appertaining To Books The Dark Mirror (The Bridei Chronicles #1)

Come with me now, now, I need you . . . Showing her with his hands, his mouth, his body just what this need had become, a thing that seemed fit to devour him unless it were satisfied . . . Said girl is 13 years old. DO. NOT. WANT.I love Juliet Marillier, but this series is not among my favorites. It was a confusing book. It's set in a Pictish 500 AD or so era, with some magic and druidism, and tbh I have no idea wtf it is that a druid does and what the main character (Bridei) is meant to do.

This took me a ridiculous amount of time to finish considering I had Spring break. This wasn't because the book was difficult or boring. It was well-written and moved at a good pace. Bridei was nicely developed (though I do have some difficulty imagining a 5 year old with his maturity) and likeable. He was not unnecessarily described to be toughest and the best of the lot, he was just the most worthy to become king. Tuala was the other protagonist, described to be selfless, loyal and true. She

This was my first read by Juliet Marillier and I found it captivating. Bridei and Tuala were easy to like and identify with. I especially appreciated Tuala's struggle with finding her place as a woman in this society. In fact, the theme of a woman's role and the pagan vs. christian religions reminded me of The Mists of Avalon (one of my all-time favorites).I was surprised at how much I enjoyed Marillier's descriptions of the scenery, gods, pagan ceremonies, etc. Usually I get bored by that kind

Bridei is only 4 years old when he arrives at Pitnochie, his new home with foster father Briochan, a druid of power and influence in the kingdom of Fortriu. Although there's little time for play, Bridei comes to love his sheltered, disciplined upbringing. He knows he's been uprooted from his family and specially tutored for a purpose, but he's not sure what, and he will learn nothing from calculating Briochan. But Briochan will learn quickly that not everything is under his control when Bridei,

Okay, I *love* this book!!! like, incredibly love it!!! Excellent blend of history and fantasy in a quite unique timeperiod: writing about the 6th century Picts is no easy feat, since most of their culture has been lost. I will caution that this is a very "wordy" book: Juliet Marillier is very good about drawing readers into her story through vividly descriptive passages. In other words, she spends a lot of time, I think, on details, and sometimes that can seem overwhelming. Fact and fiction may

Bridei's destiny is to one day become king, the druid Broichan and his secret council have worked hard towards this even before Bridei was born. They planned every step and every aspect of Bridei's life, save one.Tuala was a gift from the gods, a daughter of the goddess and a child of the Good Folk. She and Bridei grew up together, much to Broichan's dismay, but even he would not turn his back on what was seen to be the will of the gods. But neither would he trust her, especially with Bridei.In

Actually rating 3.5 starsLike always Juliet Marillier amazes me with the rich words and complex characters as well as original plots. This book follows Bridei and Tuala , two children that are bound by gods to be much more then they expected from their lives. I had only one problem with this book and that was the little time Bridei and Tuala spend with each other, I mean they fall in love after they grew up together as best friends/brother and sister but the transition was so weird that I felt
