Look I tried. I could not get into this. Life is too short for books you are not enjoying. I ended up DNFing "Written in Red" the first book in the Others series at 10 percent because nothing I was reading was holding my interest. We have a prologue setting up the setting of the book and now we ar...
I got Written in Red, by Anne Bishop as a Christmas present from my husband and I was happy to discover a new fantasy writer whose books I can devour. At this point, I hadn’t read anything written by this author, so it was all new to me. Written in Red is the first book in the Others series and now,...
Enter a world inhabited by the Others, unearthly entities - vampires and shape-shifters among them - who rule the earth and whose prey are humans. As a cassandra sangue, or blood prophet, Meg Corbyn can see the future when her skin is cut - a gift that feels more like a curse. Meg's Controller kee...
4.5 starsThis book is different from most of the ones I've read that have vampires and werewolves. The Others aren't traditional versions of these creatures. There are all different forms of Others also. Some are season spirits and forms of nature and weather. It's really cool, very creative. I...
Written in Red, like the books which follow it, are set in a universe where man is not the dominant predator. Our heroine, in this first one, makes friends with Mr. Erebus Sanguinati - a very powerful vampire. So I'm using it for Vampires. It would also work for Werewolves, Supernatural, or M...
It is not often that a book is recommended to me as much as Written in Red (and the entire Others series really) has been recommended to me. Over the last few years I have heard so many great things about it that I decided to give it a go. Meg has escaped her compound and is looking for a place to h...
I think there's maybe something wrong with me. I'm utterly and profoundly bored by this book. You get this impression Meg is on the run but has no real sense of urgency. You get the sense that she's a total outsider in a dangerous place but ho-de-hum, having great days and just the nicest gal ever.I...
So okay the truth is I don't have words to describe this book. It is such a good story and the characters just speak to me.Meg Corbyn isn't my usual choice of a female character, she is not sassy, bad-ass, guns blazing, sexy thing. She is more pure. She has a child's wonder about her and maybe becau...
I loved just about everything about this book! I can't believe that I waited so long to finally start reading this series. I bought this book 2 years ago but for some reason never actually started reading it. I should have read it then but I am making up for lost time now. Once I really started ...
There were things I liked, and things that bugged, but the likeable content far outweighed the rest. I love the world this is set in. I have read books that have a variety of paranormal characters, but so much of what Anne Bishop has created here is unique. I have really developed a liking for so ...
