Restoration by Carol Berg

I am not suite finished with this book-maybe 100 pages left. I am still interested but it has not grabbed from the first page like the first book in this series-Transformation. Nor has it really picked up about halfway through like the second book in this series-Revelation. It is managing to keep my insterest, but the story is all over the place. In the first book we see Seyonnes powers return and how his destniy-as prophesied by the Ezzarrians over 1000 years ago-is tied to that of the Derhzi Prince Aleksander. We also see Seyonne return home to his wife and his country returned to him by Prince Aleksander. The second installments shows some rot at the root of the Ezzarrians-and raises the real question of the relationship between Ezzarrians and Demons-they were once the same and then tried to split themselves from demons which in relaity caused demons to form and feed off innocents which was why Ezzarrians were honor bound to battle demons in the first place. Kind of round about plotting but it worked in the end. Now the third novel takes the thought that demon/human bonds were actually created through beings who exist on another plane and are able to cross to human existance in their dreams. This beings are ancient-they do not die, live forever and have difficulty reproducing. Once of their youngest members-Nyel-is first able to cross over to the human world in his dreams. He is recieved as a God in that realm and soon takes a wife and had children. When he sees that his people can produce off-spring in this alternate realm he tells his people and soon many of his race are also marrying and having children with humans. These children are the original Ezzarrians-who are pair bound with the demons(rai-kirah)-who have the power to change form and raise Melydda (magic) and live for a very long time. Nyel finds that his people are dying, he can not be sure why but he finds that the first to die are the ones who have married and had children with the humans. He decides to destroy these humans and their offspring-which leads the to Ezzarrian myth about the God who lay with the human maiden-Valdonne- and then tried to kill all humans, she held him off until her son-Valdiss- came of age and was able to imprison his father -by taking his name away-and save his mother and his people. Somehow this is also tied up with how the Ezzarrians decided to get separated from their rai-kirah which caused the rai-kirah to form demons so they could feed on human emotions. Seyonne has found this original being from the alternate universe-Nyel-who does not know his true and was trapped by his son-he is trying to turn Seyonne -who is a descendant of the original mixed race children-Ezarrians-into a Medonai-which is what the beings from the alternate relaity call themselves. Is this a good or a bad thing-not sure yet. The book is good but very complex.
