One star is still too good of a rating in my opinion.That alone should speak volumes about how I felt after reading this.I cannot believe this was the sequel to Lament. I wish I hadn't even read this.
by amyNuala is part muse, part psychic vampire. While the freedom to sing or write or create is denied her, her mark across history is unmistakable; a trail of brilliant poets, musicians, and artists who have died tragically young. She had no sympathy for their abbreviated life spans; every thirteen...
Ballad is the companion book to Lament: The Faerie Queen's Deception. I had just finished Lament, and rushed to pick up Ballad.Lament is Deirdre's story and Ballad belongs to James. Ballad picks up where Lament left off, and James and Dee are now attending a musicians conservatory. Things are a litt...
I wanted to like this book. To be caught up in the characters' struggles. I wanted to like it as much as Angie did (see her review: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59732648 ), but the characters were by turns not what I expected, annoying beyond all patience and too distant.

If it wasn't for James being portrayed this way, I don't think I would have found the farie, Nuala's sarcasm and passage into compassion quite as interesting since they p...
I have become a really big Maggie Stiefvater fan. :) I have now read Shiver, Lament, and Ballad, and I loved them all! Focusing on this book … It was amazing. I thought it was better than Lament. I loved getting James's point of view; I thought he was cool in Lament and I was happy to learn so much ...
http://l8bloomeronline.blogspot.com/2010/01/book-review-ballad.htmlI have to admit, I picked up BALLAD, the sequel to LAMENT because I really wanted to see more of Luke, the main male character. You would think I would be disappointed when this book was written from James' point of view. Not so! Onc...
