TO KEEP THE OATH:
A fantastic short story that tells of how torn Kindra, a Renunciate, is torn between what her heart says and the Oath of the Renunciates. It also gives us insight to who the emmasca Camilla is and some of her past too.
BONDS OF SISTERHOOD(previously titled AMAZON FRAGMENT):
In the Free Amazon section of the short story collections in ‘Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Darkover’, Camilla and Rafaella can’t remember what it was that started them fighting in the first place. This short story t...more

Collection of Short Stories, set on the world of Darkover, which gives backstories of several major characters in the series. The stories are well-written, interesting, and offer insights, particularly into Dyan Ardais, who is one of the more memorable dark characters. My favorites, as always, are the stories of the Renunciates, which begin the volume.
I kept picking up books that disappointed and not finishing them so decided to revisit some of my favorites that sat languishing upon my shelves for years. Love the Darkover series probably more than anything else and this re-reading reminded why I fell in love with Ms. Bradley's writing years ago. A must read for everyone!

If you are a Marion Zimmer Bradly fan and have not picked up a Darkover novel, you are missing out on a whole other world - literally! Once sucked in, you will want to read every book...which will keep you busy for quite some time, even if you are a fast reader. :)
This is an anthology of short stories set in the Darkover universe. The stories give some new insights and interesting background on some of the characters in the Darkover books. Reading this has inspired me to go back and re-read the books.
Interesting, but variable, collection of MZB's Darkover short stories which had previously turned up in other anthologies. Worthwhile read, but probably for existing fans only.
I have the whole series. I have read the books many times. Great author!

Loved the whole Darkover series.
I loved ALL the Darkover series books.
OK. A good half of it was short stories that had already appeared in other anthologies. The new stuff pretty much meshed with the previous. Good, but nothing special. For Darkover completists, read it, otherwise, meh.
Anything Marion Zimmer Bradler - Marion and Orson Scott Card were my introduction to Fantasy. Read everything she wrote
The stories are uneven but fill in interesting gaps in the lore and history of Darkover. Good fun for fans and an accessible introduction for readers new to MZB's realm.
