fast read, not very deep... I needed something to read on a Saturday afternoon in the sun, and this fit the bill!

It was Great!

** spoiler alert ** I go to bed extremely early, but I stayed wide awake last night finishing the last half of Heir to the Shadows and the entirety of Queen of the Darkness. I wouldn't call this book inspiring literature, but I love a good story, and this was one hell of a story! For all of her writing faults (I grew very tired of the bitten lip drawing blood to keep the anger/laughter/pleasure/embarassment hidden, and if any of the characters snarled once, they snarled a million times...a thesaurus may have come in handy), Anne Bishop has an incredible imagination and a fantastic way of building suspense, dread, elation, you name it. SPOILER ALERT************************************************* Daughter of the Blood was definitely my favorite. I admit that it took some time to get into the world and its characters, but once it took me, it had me. I loved the blindness of denial portrayed by Jaenelle's relations in Chaillot. While it is safe to argue that the sincerely bad Baddies and the sincerely good Goodies were somewhat one-note (although definitly not one-dimensional), I felt the Angellines, although somewhat secondary until Queen of Darkness, portrayed a good combination of both good and evil...how we can be honestly corrupted through our denial and apathy far easier than we think we can. I also loved Geoffrey and Draca...I would like to see a "prequel" about Lorn and Draca. The violence didn't bother me. It was a little on the not-too-subtle side, but Dorothea was not supposed to be subtle...it's precisely for that reason that Hekata was able to use her. Briarwood was a little much for me...probably because I have a daughter myself, and I know that twisted stuff like that actually happens in this world. That trauma had to give Witch her edge though, and boy what a trauma! Heir to the Shadows was my least favorite by far. There were times when I really thought I was reading a coven version of Twilight. And the fact that all of Jaenelle's friends coupled up so nicely (with the exception of Karla and Morton, which made it obvious that they were going to be red-shirts (sci fi I know...sorry)) bothered me. It all seemed so Sweet Valley High. I realize Jeanelle was a teenager, but she is still Witch, as we are constantly reminded, and they are in Saetan's household for crying out loud!! Also - as is inevitable with a romantic trilogy, the protaganists are separated for the entire novel, which, in this case, is completely fine since it fleshes out Lucivar, who is definitely a favorite, and introduces the awesome Kindred. Although I do love me some Daemon. Queen of the Darkness is what kept me from getting my much needed sleep last night. It was really good...I especially love the deception of Daemon to save his family, although it was a little too convenient that they all figured him out in the nick of time. If Lucivar was able to reason, within the span of a couple of days, that Daemon was playing a game after he witnessed with his own eyes the mutilation and death of his beloved wife and son, how am I supposed to believe that he held steadfast to the belief, for so long in those salt mines, that Daemon raped and killed Jaenelle, just from the word of Hekata?? No matter - it was still a delicious read. I wanted more from the Dark Queen though. I wanted retribution. Dorothea's death, at Daemon's hand, was ok, but I wanted Saetan to mutilate Hekata. It's a shame she had the same demise as all of the other tainted blood and not one specially designed for her crimes. My favorite characters are definitely Tersa and Titian. Without them, no one, not even Jeanelle, would have survived. Read this is if you are patient with learning a new world and new lingo, as well as with the word "snarl", "Witch", "Saetan", and "midnight voice", if you like fantasy, and if you are not sensitive to violence, especially against children. It's a really good story. Those don't come along that often...I can ignore little nitpicks when they do!

I love this book. It isn't his best as far as the writing is concerned, but it is very entertaning nonetheless. His naivety and earnestness when he's dropped off out in the middle of nowhere, it has a way of reassuring you that everything can be worked out. You see the character change from somebody who liked the outdoors, to someone who became a part of it.

This book would have been okay MINUS the whole fantasy/dream element. Which, I realise the fantasy thing was the whole point of the book, but it made the story REALLY, REALLY confusing and also was TOTALLY NOT NECESSARY to the story. This would have been an interesting read if the story was only focusing on the characters and the society they were living in. Add in the basilisk thing (which I still don't understand...) and the book SUCKED.

I didn't initially consider myself a Mystery fan. I just didn't think I had the patience for being almost completely in the dark about the outcome of an initial problem, and then there was the way one has to find the answer to that conflict - through searching a room, a house, a hallway, by talking to characters, reading between the lines of their stories etc. With that in mind I thought mysteries were slow reads - a whole lot of problem-solving and not enough direct action, or magic. Don't get me wrong, I thought it was great if you were into that sort of thing, but I didn't think it was for me. Boy, was I wrong. I got this book because they were offering it for free on Kindle, and I thought, ok, sure, I'll power through a mystery. Power through, hah! I devoured this book in one night. The suspense was wonderful, the characters extremely well-developed, and then there was Nell and Will. Two damaged, strong protagonists who seized me by the heart and never let go. Their dialogue was enchanting, and their interaction fascinating. Coupled with this was a very well-researched setting in post-Civil War Boston, with the social machinations that came with that. Everything is so detailed and told in such a way that you really feel a part of that society. I am officially a Mystery convert. Truth.

You'll never think of a hospital's maternity ward the same again. Brilliant. The cross-cultural analysis is superb and intriguing.

I thoroughly enjoyed this series as first a story, then as an allegorical style, and lastly because the romantic in me longs for that kind of love and acceptance that can only come through an acceptance of Christ as your Lord and Savior. Only Someone so much greater that ourselves, like a Father/ Creator could love someone who constantly falls short of being a less than perfect being! It was well written, held my interest, and did not exasperate me by being too pretentious! Ted Dekker, you have my attention, Sir.

Nicholas Sparks hat mit diesen beiden Büchern eins verinnerlicht: Das Monument der Liebe. Wie ein einziger Tag: Dieses Buch ist bereits verfilmt worden und um Längen besser ist dieser Film, der viel ausschweifender und liebevoller dargestellt wird als das kurze, aber sehr prägnante Buch. Sparks stellt zwei Liebende dar, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein können: Ein junges Mädchen aus reichem Hause und ein scheinbarer Taugenichts, die sich noch Jahre nach ihrer ersten Begegnung, ihres gemeinsamen Sommers lieben. Der Junge heiratet nie und wächst zu einem Eigenbrötler heran, hingegen das Mädchen ist in einer Ehe mit einem Anwalt unglücklich gefangen. Als die beiden sich wieder sehen, knistert es bereits und der Leser, sofern er denn weiß, worum es in der Geschichte geht, da er den Film gesehen hat, ist gierig hinterher, das Ende zu erfahren. Weit wie das Meer: Lange habe ich das Buch einfach zur Hälfte liegen lassen und wollte mich so recht nicht an Weit wie das Meer heran trauen. Ich dachte einfach, dass Sparks nicht so gut schreiben kann, wie behauptet wird, da mich Wie ein einziger Tag schon sehr enttäuschte. Doch hingegen meiner anfänglichen Meinung bin ich tief berührt worden von dieser romantischen und etwas überdimensional ausgelegten Geschichte. Eine Frau findet Flaschenpost und begibt sich auf die Suche nach dem Verfasser. Daraus entspinnt sich eine leichte und doch tiefgründige Liebesgeschichte, die immer ernster wird. Mir gefällt Sparks Charakteristik, die geprägt ist von Menschenkenntnis – besonders Streitpunkte hat er sehr gut und sehr nahe dargestellt. Dies ist mir in der Schlüsselszene der Geschichte in Erinnerung geblieben. Auch gefiel mir, dass er nicht sofort auf ein Happy End und Aus zusteuerte, sondern die Geschichte durchdacht und präzise zu Papier gebracht hat. Fazit: Die zweite Geschichte hat mich im Grund genommen mehr gefangen genommen, aber Sparks hat im Gesamten bewiesen, dass er ein wunderbarer Erzähler und ein genauer und feinsinniger Schriftsteller ist!
