This is a fairytale in the truest sense of the word. However, it's main 'un'fairytale-like quality is that one of the two main characters is a vampire. The other is a girl who falls for him but don't make the mistake of thinking it's going to be an angsty teenage fantasy the likes of which Ms Meyer ...
An interesting read. The Dark-Angel is a vampiric character that kidnaps women as his wives draining them of soul and blood. Aeriel is the maid of one of these who goes looking for her mistress and finds adventure and courage. A skilful blend of Fantasy and SF in the grand tradition of Andre Norton...
This is one of the better anthologies I've read. All anthologies are something of a mixed bag. The reader's taste very seldom meshes exactly with the editor's, or the editor has had to make some compromises along the way.

I would have loved this book dearly in my youth.The middle of series usually are my favourite because the set-up was already done but the rid...
I had an enjoyable afteroon reading this one at the beach. Aeriel is a slave/companion of a girl named Euodin. She's been bullied into helping her gather flowers for a wedding on the mountains. Eeodin doesn't take Aeriels concerns or the tales about a vampyre who kidnaps pretty girls seriously.When...
Aeriel is a young slave-girl, who serves Eoduin, the pretty daughter of the town syndic. Being only 2 years younger than Eoduin makes them close friends as well as mistress and slave, and Aeriel very much looks up to the older girl. One day Aeriel and Eoduin are on high on the mountains outside of...
Another great hit and a thrilling conclusion to the Firebringer Trilogy by Meredith Ann Pierce! It susceeded in uniting all the subplots and creating an epic ending to the "big" plot in general. I was very satisfied. Pierce has a very formal way of writing that suits the tale and I like how the tale...
