Another trilogy I won't bother to finish. Irrylath was far more interesting as a Darkangel than as human Irrylath. Too angsty. Thankfully he isn't around much, only in the first chapter or so and in the last one. We get to know why he can't "love" Aeriel. Not really a mystery, since the specters tol...

I was pleasantly surprised with this book, I thought it was a Paranormal YA, the kind that abound lately. Romantic, with plenty of descriptions of the hero being the most handsome guy ever, the girl being plain but oh wait, beautiful; the weird and/or "exotic" names... Instead I got a mean Icarus (t...

Spoiler Rating: Moderate Dear Lizzy, I've lugged veritable carloads of novels home from Half Price Books, most of which have subsequently been lugged back to Half Price Books for reselling. The Darkangel came home with me, oh, five or six years ago, and has sat brooding on my shelf until a few d...

These seems like a collection of 'what if' scenarios from various fantasy Authors and they are very enjoyable for a casual read; a few of them would even qualify for college-level analysis, I believe.

This series has an ending that starts out confusing but the book wraps up the trilogy in such a surprising and refreshing way that leaves most questions answered and explained. The story raises several questions about the inhabitants of this world and their relation to humans and Earth and it is str...

This continuation of the Darkangel can seem a little confusing, at first, because it's a huge leap from its predecessor, in terms of story. A Gathering of Gargoyles does the very thing I missed in Darkangel: it explores the world Pierce has set up. When feeling rejected by her husband, Irrylath, our...

I've always had a soft spot for the books from this author. It has been a long time since I read this trilogy but I remember a good deal of the wonder and dread that filled me as I turned the pages. The story follows the young girl Aerial, who, as a servant, feels responsible for the kidnapping of...

This is my absolute favorite of the trilogy because of the complicated quests the various characters set out on before they eventually come full circle. There is a clear path as the story matures and more adult themes take the stage, leading to hard choices and confrontations. This is, of course, th...

When I read Dark Moon, it was a bit difficult for me to get through; I cannot quite explain why, just that the story did not enthrall me as much as the previous one. However, I did love the introduction of humans and the main characters are all enjoyable. I have never been annoyed with any of them, ...

This book had been a very dear story to me, ever since I was 8 (I think). It was the first, full-sized, novel I ever read and I loved it, have loved it since then. The whole concept of warrior unicorns fighting griffins, satyrs and wyverns was a girlish fairytale-dream come true. The writing and sto...
