The story drew me in from the start. I was intrigued by the magical matriarchal society, with a shifting power dynamic determined by caste, rank and class depending greatly on magical power--and the title heroine, Jaenelle, long prophesied and awaited, throwing a joker into this deck. Bishop is ade...
See my individual my reviews: Daughter of the Blood (The Black Jewels #1) Heir to the Shadows (The Black Jewels #2) Queen of the Darkness (The Black Jewels, #3)
There is sex, there is blood, there is violence.When I first got this book (it was a gift), I looked at it with a little reluctance (mostly for it's massive size seeing as it was 3-in-1), but it came from a friend who's reading habits I trust and mostly share, and so I started reading.I don't regret...

On top of that, almost every review I read at the time had praised this book and had me drooling.Well... maybe it's just me then. But I thought that this trilogy, as a whole, was ...
There is a lot of melodrama in these books, which I know some people find it hard to get past. But when you keep in mind that none of the main characters are truly human, then it makes more sense. They are both sub- and super-human. The people growl, some of them go into rut, they sometimes serve th...
The Black Jewels Trilogy is an amazingly complex good-versus-evil dark fantasy trilogy which sends you on a highly strung rollercoaster of emotions. The trilogy is made up of the three books: Daughter of the Blood, Heir to the Shadows and Queen of Darkness.The world that Anne Bishop creates is a mat...
Got this on the recommendation of someone who saw that I said I liked Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel trilogy. But I didn't get around to reading it for a while just because the book is so big - over 1200 pages in a trade-paperback size! Usually I like the omnibus editions 'cause they mean you can't lose...
