    A must read fantasy classic
  

*by L***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2015*

Well, C.S. Friedman has a brand new fan in this reader!  I found The Coldfire Trilogy listed in a Best Fantasy Book list recently, so I decided to give it a try, especially since I had never had the pleasure of reading any of her books up to this point.  I am so glad that I took a chance on this author!This book features exceptional writing and deeply complex characters in a seamless blend of fantasy and science fiction.  Although this story clearly takes place far into the future on a different planet, it still had that classic, dark fantasy feel and atmosphere that I love.  And as if that wasn't enough to make me an instant fan, this book features perhaps one of the most memorable and scarily seductive characters of all time - Gerald Tarrant - "The Hunter", Neocount of Merentha, fallen prophet, evil incarnate, all-powerful sorcerer, eater of souls, vampire.  As much as his character was intimidating and terrifying, I felt myself falling helplessly under his spell just like one of his victims.  His forced partnership with the main protagonist, Father Damien Vryce, has to be one of my favorite literary pairings since Robin Hobb's Fitz and the Fool.  I could be endlessly happy just reading nothing but stories featuring either one of these great fantasy partnerships!At times the book does get a little repetitious, especially when describing how much the two main characters, Gerald and Damien, hate and despise each other, but in the end, it does make their moments of reluctant comradery, respect, vulnerability, and sacrifice for each other that much sweeter, so really I didn't mind the repetition too much.It won't be for everyone, but for those like me who prefer a slower-moving, character-driven story with a lot of depth and complexity, it's a book that many will find very rewarding and well worth your time.  This is no lightweight fantasy - this is a book of real substance you can sink your teeth into.  Very highly recommend!Update 5/29/15 - Just finished the last of the three books in this epic trilogy.  This is one of the most carefully planned, engaging, and beautifully written fantasy stories I've ever had the pleasure to read.  Every detail from the beginning of this story to the very end ties in together so perfectly.  If you're a person who enjoys a deeply intimate, very well-written, character-driven story that leaves you an emotional wreck most of the time (Robin Hobb fans will love this series, although it is much, much darker), then you must read The Coldfire Trilogy.Book 1 - 5 StarsBook 2 - 5 StarsBook 3 - 5 Stars - Note: Book 3 in Kindle version has some SERIOUS typesetting issues - careless spelling errors, words running together, etc.- which only gets worse as the book progresses.  You might want to get the actual books instead of the Kindle versions.

    Masterful and compelling writing.
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2018*

I first read this shortly after it came out. Years later, I remain a fan of this writer. She has several series out, all  gems of world-building. Each is meticulously defined. Unusual for an SF/F writer, religion plays an important part in two of the series and is dealt with in respectful and thoughtful manner. Her characters are well-defined with conflicts and growth arcs.One thing the writer adds to the craft is her ability to depict compelling villains. The evil wizard is the hero of his own story, and by the end of the book, you will be fascinated by him. (Lucky for you, there are two more books and a novella featuring the neocount.)

    Erna: A Wonderful World and Fantastic Premise
  

*by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2017*

I loved the world Friedman creates here. Erna is a well-developed and fascinating world where a mentally-responsive force called the fae (and its many varieties) creates a more fluid, magical world where magic is wielded both purposely and accidentally. I absolutely love the world and the living environment of it.I love the moral gray areas it takes you through as well. It's complex and challenging and gives a wonderful sense of tension as the story progresses.I loved the first half of the book, as we learn about the world and the fae and the characters and the plot takes us on twists and turns. The second half, however, loses itself in action. There is a journey, and a long one at that. Character development seems to slow to a trickle, and we find out little more about Erna and its history. While the complex relationships carried my attention through the first half, they faded away as the story progressed.The ending is one of the most disappointing endings I've ever read. Imagine preparing a marvelous dinner, and then as it's nearing completion you decide you just don't really care about it, and when it's done you push it off the table, and don't even ask what anyone else thought of it. That's the best I can do without any spoilers. The story has a resolution, but just doesn't care anymore about the motivation guiding the entire thing. The characters continue on to the next book like they're on autopilot.
