Nothing remarkable about this one. Like the previous install, it read more like a romance set in the Dark Jewell's world, with some glimpses in the main cast if you "are just here for Godzilla".

Bishop has created a deeply esoteric universe in this series, The Black Jeweles, that deserves the hard core following it has accumulated, but the last few additions to the series have come off more as fanfic than actual contributions to the canon. This book, although a direct sequel of #7, really ...

I love this series. This new book by Ms. Bishop was eagerly anticipated and delivered for me. I am moved because Ms. Bishop's writing voice is so clear. I feel as if I'm right there in the Realm with them. I felt so sad for Cassie. She's such an amazing person and yet she's discounted by a guy ...
