Written in Red by Anne Bishop is a fantastic start to her newest series (Novels of the Others (or possibly just The Others)). Bishop is one of the few adult writers whose works I just flat out adore. Thankfully, this book was just as amazing as her others. Meg Corbyn applies for a job at the Cour...
Ok, I'm usually MUCH better about starting a series from the start, but I needed this one for a reading challenge I'm in. The writing is good, but, if you haven't read the other books, as I haven't, it's rather confusing.The writer takes many common words and embues them with special meaning in ...
Honestly, I can't believe it took me so long to read this. I just kind of missed it in the scheme of things, even though Anne Bishop is my favourite author.I adore this trilogy (although nowhere near to the extent that i enjoy The Black Jewels Books).Needless to say, this book didn't quite seem t...
The storyline was good, there were some poignant scenes and funny dialogues. I was a bit heartbroken with the last part of the story. The idea of an epic and everlasting love kind of crumbled when Daemon ended up with another. It was carefully thought out, but the chemistry between them did not r...
I got this book solely for the short story "Shades of Honor" which highlights Lucifer Yaslana and Surreal SaDiablo. Lucifer is my #2 favorite character of mine and I really enjoyed how this story fleshes him out a little more, lets us see what happens to him and his Eyrie. He retains his charm, a...
This series is strangely compelling reading. I'd give them all a 3.5 star rating. The plot lines in these books are all the same, but I read them for the characters.
Shalador's Lady continues with Lady Cassidy's story which is why I had to review both books together. It also ends it very nicely! Cassidy and her loyal Warriors move the court from Grayhaven to Shalador after Theron refuses to throw his guest out of the manor, and steadily the surrounding lands ...
This was a decent book. Everything was wrapped up quite nicely at the end, but at the same time I felt like it was a anti-climatic. I wanted Cassie to deal with Theran and little bitchy Queen, and while she did after a fashion I wanted her to deal with them personally and have it out with them. I...
Vision in Silver is an excellent finish to the trilogy. However, of the three, it is my least favorite. Not to say that it is a bad book by any means--the characters remain fabulous and the story is riveting, However, the plot seemed to disintegrate by the last 100 pages, coming to a somewhat deu...
Blurb:Set in the realm of The Black Jewels trilogy, this collection features four brand-new revelatory stories of Jaenelle and her kindred.My Comments:Anne Bishop continues to impress. This book contains four short stories from the past and future of the Black Jewels Realms and I love them all, b...
Belladonna (Ephemera, Book 2)
Sebastian is set in the world of Ephemera, which is really a bunch of little self contained worlds that are connected by (for lack of a better term) magical bridges. The worlds are called landscapes, and they are subject to alteration based on the emotions of their residents. Landscapers (as I un...
A prequel set in the "dark and sensual world" (11th Hour) of the national bestselling Black Jewels Trilogy. Jared is a Red-Jeweled Warlord bound as a pleasure slave by the Ring of Obedience. After suffering nine years of torment as a slave, he murdered his owner and escaped?only to be caught and...
Tenho quase a certeza que me vou repetir nesta opinião, relativamente às antecedentes desta mesma autora, sobre o prazer que é para mim folheá-la mas, a verdade, é que quando leio Anne Bishop é sempre um prazer único, algo que não se comprara a outros autores. Ela é a minha favorita. A sua escrit...
This book is incredibly awful. It's embarrassingly bad. The characters (with their ridiculous names) and the world are poorly developed. The author gives us variations of the same scenes again and again - Daemon is a sexy threat, dear old dad Saetan is old and tenderhearted, Jaenelle is very powe...
Buddy read with AlyDaughter of the Blood may have been an incredibly dark and at times shocking story but I loved every minute of it so although I had to brace myself beforehand I couldn't wait to continue reading Jaenelle's story in Heir to the Shadows. I was expecting an intense read when I pic...
The national bestselling author of the Black Jewels Trilogy returns with book two in the thrilling Tir Alainn Trilogy-a dazzling tale of romance, high adventure, and thrilling fantasy. An encroaching evil threatens the lives of every witch, woman, and Fae in the realm. And only the Bard, the M...
Queen of the Darkness, the third and final book in Anne Bishop’s Black Jewels Trilogy is comparable to that of the movie, Return of the Jedi. I can’t help but compare this series to the original Star Wars Trilogy. With Queen of the Darkness you know it will be an explosive accumulation of everyth...
Reencontrar as personagens de Anne Bishop é mais do que uma sensação de deleite com misto de saudade. É um regresso ansioso e desesperado, longas horas de leitura seguidas, frustração por não puder continuar, acabar com um sorriso nos lábios e começar a suspirar pelo próximo momento de puro praze...
Smith is on the line for you.” The Controller picked up the phone. “What is it?” “The scrap girls I sold you. I’d like to get them back.” “We agreed at the time of the sale that there would be no returns.” “Yes, I know, but all my best girls are suffering from breakdowns. No matter what my client...
And why send this crap to him? If Jhinkas were attacking a village in Ebon Rih—or any part of Askavi for that matter—he wanted to know about it because he would be the one stepping onto the killing field to take care of it. But why in the name of Hell did he need five pages of scribbles from some...
At times, the hills were so steep, we had to get out and walk, because it was all the horses could do to pull the weight of the coach and our luggage up the incline. But when we reached the crest of the last, gentler hill, we looked down on the strange glory that was Vision. It was a patchwork ci...
Cassidy muttered a couple of days later as she stomped to the garden to work off a little frustration. “A man’s head or ground as solid as rock.”The day they’d all worked together to clean up the part of the garden filled with witchblood, she’d thought she and Theran had finally settled into some...
“‘ . . . we cannot ignore the plight of these girls who, having been expelled from facilities designed for their special needs, are now unable to cope and are at risk because of the Others’ callous behavior toward humans in general and these girls in particular. Therefore, the people of Cel-Roman...
