First of all: this book had actually good things. The author cleary tried to write not your typical 80s cliched fantasy-novel, there were glimpses of moral ambiguity: at one point Ayden sits at court with Freyrik and is shocked when a thief is condemned to death. Freyrik explains that the punishment...
I love it when two of my favorite genres, fantasy and romance come together successfully. (Especially written by an author I've come to really enjoy.) In Counterpoint, that's exactly what happens. I had a few nitpicks - I wasn't quite clear how Ella was able to get by so easily, I had a tough time...
I made the mistake of choosing this book among the copious amounts of M/M romance novels. And the result was one of the best reads I've ever had. Never in my life of reading have I WANTED more to see the protagonists fall in love and see what happens with their romance. The characters are fascinatin...
Very good m/m fantasy romance about an elf who's captured by humans while trying to protect his sister, then becomes the favored prisoner of the area's regent. I started reading this nearly two years ago, soon after it was released. Then I learned that the book ended in an evil cliffhanger, so I sto...
Interesting. The 'read ebook' button attached to this links to a completely different ebook filled with short stories. I'm confused. lol Am I missing something? This is listed as 414 pages so I doubt it's a short story.
Just loved this book! Read this in one fell swoop, all 414 pages (apart from a quick dog walk). I'm a sucker for the combination of fantasy and m/m especially from author Rachel Haimowitz. The elf Ayden agrees to his master Freyrik's terms in order to save his sister fellow-captive Ella's honour. St...
I really don't like the cover. That's why it took me so long to read it. The cover kept annoying me...Which is weird, because usually I'm pretty good about disregarding covers; I know some books just end up with really bad designers.Anyway, the story itself...wasn't bad, I guess...
The first kiss--Bloody fucking swoon-----------------------Review edited 16/4/2013I know that this review is going to be a huge jump from my previous review and rating (which started off from a perfect 5 till I weaned it down to 4, now 3.5).I think that previously, I was a worried (and perhaps a bit...
The highest praise I could give this book is this: it's a high fantasy with ELVES and not only did I finish it, I enjoyed it. I pretty much hate this genre, so for me to get so engrossed in this book really speaks to the quality of Haimowitz's writing. What I liked:- The characterization. This is re...
