I didn't realize there would be no resolution at the end... it's just a lead-in for book 2. I prefer series books that have some kind of denouement, even though we know the overall storyline is TBC. ( ) Loved the characters and their relationships. The premise mechanism of fulfilling prophecy is a fun take on that pattern. Only concern was pacing. The story seemed to end on or right after a climatic spike, it made the ending seem jarring. Yes yes, I'll read the 2nd but I prefer each book in a series to end on a book resolution even if series action isn't resolved. Perhaps it should have ended before the last plot building event (purposely vague for no spoilers) Entertaining story. Lilith, vampire to end all vampires is raising an army to destroy all the worlds. The goddess Morrigan calls a circle of six to stand against her and romance ensues. It's pretty silly, but also enjoyable. I think she could have done it better in one book, rather than a trilogy, because they're fairly predictable, but, hey, a gal's got to make a living. This has always been my favorite trilogy of Nora's, though there are a few others that follow close behind. I figured it was time for a reread, knowing this story would allow a good escape from what we're seeing in the world right now. It did not disappoint. Glenna and Hoyt's love, the coming together of their circle of friends as called to face Morrigan's fight... I will never tire of revisiting this world.
At long last, the incomparable Roberts leaps into the paranormal genre in a big way! Roberts wastes no time kicking off a trilogy that immediately immerses readers in a complex mythology that will require much dedication and sacrifice from its protagonists. Like her earlier trilogies, intriguing pairs of disparate couples must band together for a common goal. Book one does an excellent job of setting up the seemingly impossible quest and introducing the "Circle of Six." Once you start, you won't want to stop this thrill ride. Belongs to Series
As the powerful vampire Lilith prepares to quench her thirst for destruction by unleashing her fury in battle, a medieval sorcerer, one of the circle of six charged by the goddess Morrigan, must travel through time to stop her. No library descriptions found. |
