I'm confused with the title. Is the mother forgotten? Who exactly is forgotten?
I hate it when a heroine second guesses a romance, then says she is going to go for it, then does the opposite and there was definitely that going on here.
The books ends with a cliffhanger which since I was on the fence about this book makes me not want to pick up the next for awhile.
I liked the relationship that was developing between Allison and her father.
I think I'm just too old and critical for this book.
This book is really good. I have loved first two books and this one was even better. This month I have been lucky enough to read some of the best fantasy books including this one. I loved the whole story and the way characters are developed. Also I loved the way writer has portrayed emotions and feelings, readers can't help but feel all of them along with the main characters of the book. Its true that fantasy is my preffered genre but even if it weren't i'm sure I'd still have loved these books. All three books have been good and I very much enjoyed reading them.

I received a review copy of this book for my stop on the blog tour at Donnie Darko Girl.
I adore this trilogy! It's going to be bittersweet for me when the third book comes out - I'm excited to read it but don't want this series to end! In this second book of the trilogy, Stone of Destiny, Allison is as awesome as ever and the story was so easy to get back into. It's been a while since I read the first book, but I had no difficulty jumping back into Allison's world with just a couple quick reminders at the beginning of the book woven into Allison's narration.
Aoife is still causing trouble, and her main mission is to keep Allison's parents apart so she can have Allison's father, Liam, all to herself. She wants the kind of love that is rare for the Danaan to have, but the problem is Liam isn't in love with her. I don't understand why she doesn't just give up, but she doesn't seem to be the type who's reasonable, hence all the trouble she stirs up.
Allison is the kind of heroine you love to read about. She puts others first, is loyal and loving with her family, and stands on her own two feet. She doesn't need a guy to prop her up. I understand her reasons for keeping Ethan at arm's length to prevent him from getting tangled up in the supernatural mess she's in herself. She doesn't want anyone else she cares about getting hurt, and I admire that about her. I feel like I know her well, and I'll always be on her side!
Deaghlan, kind of the Danaans, is a mystery. He's infuriating yet charming at the same time, and like no other character I can think of. I can tell Allison is unaware of the effect she has on him; why else does she think he bothers to mess with her head? And he does it on a regular basis. For all of his talk about humans being lesser than the Danaans, he seems to be jealous of one human in particular...
I was so happy to see characters again from the first book like Nicole, Niamh, and Aodhan - they're my favorite ones. I felt like I was reunited with good friends. I liked having the opportunity to get to know Allison's father, Liam, better. There's some things about him I haven't quite figured out yet.
I enjoyed Stone of Destiny even more than the first book. The plot impressed me with all of the twists and turns - I FLEW through this book. It was over before I knew it because I just couldn't put it down. Devouring it in one sitting, I'm beyond satisfied with the action, the humor, and the touch of romance. This book has everything, and I'm looking forward to the next one!
