Reread in September 2011 -- I have no idea how to rate this book. Hrm. Okay, a day later. Three of these stories I enjoyed. Shades of Honor I enjoyed a LOT. The fourth...the controversial one...was NOT the story I wanted to read. I read it anyway, for series closure. Or because I'm crazy. Or curious. It was not the story I wanted to read...but not for the reasons I expected. I think a lot of the spoilers I'd read were unfair to the realism of it. It was an odd blend of stark, brutal unhappiness that I honestly might have enjoyed more without the heart-warming full-circle bits. (Okay, let's be frank. It had its cheesy moments, and they probably seemed more cheesy compared to the gut-punch misery around them.) It was not a happy ending. It was not the ending I wanted. But it was never my ending to decide, and (for me) it won't outweigh 11 years of buying Anne Bishop books on the day they come out and re-reading them until the mass markets fall apart on me. (Multiple times.) I don't usually post big long reviews about books, but this one will be sticking with me. I've been reading these books obsessively since Heir to Shadows was a new release, so I've got 1/3 of my life invested in this world and these people. And I STILL don't know how to rate the book. So for now, it just stays unrated.
Una buena lectura como introducción a la literatura fantástica, con un estilo dirigido principalmente al público infantil. La narración de Lewis es impresionante, sentando las bases para los escritores Tolkenianos (que influyó incluso al mismo Tolkien...)
This is one book that actually inspired me in a lasting way. As I was reading it and definitely once I had finished I just wanted to get out on that road and see where it would take me. Unfortunately life isn't the same as it used to be and things don't seem as simple as they read anymore. The pace of this book is exciting and the random stories that come in and out of the tale keeps your predictions darting all over the place. There's a gift with words written on every page that inspires and ignites your senses.
I loved this story and thought it had many wonderful twists and turns.It was a beautiful thing to see that Ailios and Royce loved eachother no matter what century they found eachother in. I am very excited to dive into Aiden and Bri's love story in the next hot as hell highlander love story "DARK EMBRACE".. AIDEN is a lucious bad boy that makes any woman swoon.
