Anither great book by Mercedes Lackey!

Revisado: 05-22-25

Mercedes Lackey is the queen of Fantasy! This book takes place after the great war and the meeting of the Highleigh. The son of the Black Griffin and the daughter of Amberdrake are sent on a routine mission to man an outpost but things go drastically wrong…. Skan and Amberdrake are once more called to duty to find and rescue the “children”… but who will rescue them? I highly recommend this whole series, but this one is my favorite.

One of my favorite book series

Revisado: 09-06-24

True epic fantasy. David and Leah Eddings were true masters of the genre. The Belgariad and the Guardians of the West are firmly set at the top of the list of epic fantasy.

An inane and pedestrian story

Revisado: 08-05-24

This book should be in the genre of love sick stupid teenage girls…. Or the one that says… I wonder what that noise in the basement of the mental hospital was… Let’s go see! It will be fun!!! Seems like she couldn’t meet a new man without being flustered or overwhelmed by how handsome he was. In true ingénue fashion she rushed blindly into every situation, surviving only by accident or rescue. If there are such things as wizards I hope they are more careful than she was. A total waste of time I will never get back!

Maybe if I were 12

The story was predictable and juvenile. After all the hype and rave reviews I am very disappointed. A total waste of a book credit.

Sherlock Holmes with the Scottish accent

Revisado: 05-20-24

The story was written well. The characters were likable. It would’ve been nice if the story built up with clues to the solving of the murder but it’s often something that they just touched on and passing and and went on and then later on he got this brilliant idea and went running around to find proof of it, but we hadn’t been led up to that point at all. It was all these other characters may have done it, or this may have happened.The character that actually did it was never even suspected by the police until the very end, it would’ve just been nice to have clues along the way

Typical retelling of the Loup Garou

Revisado: 04-10-24

It was melodramatic. The narrator sounded like he was channeling a 1920’s radio story. It would make a good slasher movie with blood dripping everywhere …. Once I realized what the storyline was it became just a very bloody retelling of the werewolf story.

A totally new storyline

Revisado: 04-10-24

Pro - engaging characters, Zacky’s character is interesting. I’ve read a couple of other stories that included the idea of a psychopomp, but they have been very touchy-feely kind of characters. Zacky has a focus that you don’t see in other stories, the entire storyline really held my attention.
Con- I really didn’t feel that it was necessary to involve the “I can’t have my family find me” storyline to Thea’s character. She appears to be an adult woman over the age of 21 and unless her family can provide proof that she is a danger to herself or others, they have no hold on her from her past. Plenty of people survive distraught childhoods to become fully functioning adults. I also thought it was way too early in their relationship for Thea to become head over heels in love with a dying woman’s husband….. that seemed tacky to me.
This isn’t your average urban fantasy novel. It was very well thought out. It was emotional without being sickly sweet. It kept my attention which is something that hasn’t happened in a long time. I will definitely read the next book in the series and I definitely recommend this book to others that enjoy the Urban Fantasy genre.

Great series

Revisado: 02-21-23

If you are an epic fantasy fan, this is the series for you! David Eddings is a master of the genre. Swords and sorcery abound. A likable cast of characters. A must read!

Interesting

Revisado: 08-19-21

A little slow in spots but a really good story. Some of the plot twists surprised me, and that doesn’t happen much any more. I would recommend to anyone that likes ‘noir’ or a light mystery.

Another cookie cutter female character

Revisado: 04-13-21

Hard ass girl fighter(at least she thinks so) orphaned at an early age, a new father figure gets killed... girl suddenly has at least two totally hot guys vying to ‘take care of her’ completely platonic.... yeah right. She swears vengeance, doesn’t know which guy is really on her side.... I think every writer out there now is using the same outline. Frustratingly ordinary book.
The narrator sounds like she is clenching her teeth. Or maybe liners are slipping?? All slurred ch sounds and little inflection.
