Rendition As Books Vládkyně jestřábů (Darkover - Publication Order #16)
She had rejected her noble birthright and embraced the freedom only a man could claim. She was Romilly who lived among the beasts of hill and forest and communicated with them, who tried humanity and turned it down for its evils and jealousies. She had the MacAran gift, the rare laran that conferred mastery over hawk and horse.There was war in the lands of Darkover, for this was the age of chaos when usurpers took the throne and the true king wandered in disguise with a price on his head. Romilly wanted none of all this, but there were those who shared her talents—the men and women of the Towers. And for them, Romilly was the key.
Whether male-garbed or beast-minded, she was also human. And duty to her own true kind pointed her to the ultimate decision.

I loved this story. Romilla is a great woman and her story is wonderful. I think this historical period of Darkover is one of the most fascinating, oh well, all Darkover eras a re fascinating!I'm so glad I decided to read the whole series again!Ah... Darkover. After having read eleven Darkover books, reading the next two (Stormqueen! and Hawkmistress! in the omnibus The Ages of Chaos) feels like returning home, albeit to a fantasy home. This was surprising since The Ages of Chaos takes place in early Darkovan chronology, before Darkovans meet with the Terrans. The previous Darkover books I read, with the exception of Darkover Landfall have the underlying theme of the clash of Darkover culture with Terran culture. In The Ages of Chaos,
Being a fan of Darkover I am a bit biased, it is a good one!
After rereading this, I downgraded my rating of it (if I could do half-stars on Goodreads, it would get 3.5). The biggest problem with this novel is that it was obviously a rush job (I'm tempted to speculate that Bradley submitted a first draft, and DAW printed it as they received it). There are many, many repetitions of thoughts and events, many inconsistencies in plot, characterization, and motivation, and too many proofing errors (though I imagine that the group that is working on
Great story, as ever.
Clearly my one of my favourites in Darkover along with The Forbidden Tower. Very engaging character and storyline, all the feministic touch of MZB but not too much, gripping story and lot of nature there. Loved it.
I stayed up way too late last night finishing this, despite having already read it countless times. It doesn't seem to have lost any of its impact since the last time I read it. It's not a perfect book, but I'm disinclined to pick at its faults. And in rereading it now, I'm suspecting it to be one of the influential books of my life. I have had thoughts like this more than once, and acted accordingly:She told herself, all the old tales of heroism and quests always begin with the hero having to
