Title: Doesn't live up to her other books at all
Product review: Having read and absolutely adored the Black Jewels trilogy, I assumed this series would be more of the same, and was eager to get my hands on a copy. Little did I know how much of a disappointment was in store for me.I was expecting the rich, dark fantasy/romance of her other books. What I got was a trite, cliched romance novel with bland characters I simply couldn't make myself care about in the slightest. There was nothing redeeming or interesting about any of the characters at all. Even the story wasn't good enough to keep me going--it read as nothing more than a cliched, Wiccan-oriented retelling of the so-called Burning Times. Yes, this could have been interesting were it done properly, but as it was...Anne Bishop is not a terrible author, but this is a terrible series. I honestly cannot say I would recommend it to anyone. If you want a good read, pick up Daughter of the Blood or Sebastian. Don't waste your time with these.
