Amazing description of characters, with excellent development and intriguing plot twists. I would recommend this book to *any* Fantasy genre reader. I look forward to reading more of her books!

I loved this book from start to finish. Yes, some of the names and the religious mythology was a bit confusing at first, but it was like discovering a new world. The story pulls you in bit by bit, until you're so involved in Valen's world you become a part of it too. This is one story that I will continue to read over and over and never get tired of. A keeper for sure.

Great writing. Just the right balance of details personal v. magic. Layered complexity. Love Berg's writing!

Carol Berg's best ever. Usually it takes me a couple of reads on any fantasy to decide if I really like it or not but Flesh and Spirit was definitely worth the time. Great story, loved the characters... and the story really moves. The plot holes and dragging action that plague so many books in the fantasy genre are not a problem here. Only two books in this series which is perfect. The story wraps up in a satisfying way without being painfully dragged out in a bunch of "publisher's quota" installments.I don't generally find much that I am really excited about reading anymore but this was a well-written and gently humorous exception. Go Carol!
