Editorial Reviews

Review

Conclusion: 90/100

A highly enjoyable book, which if I am honest I couldn't put down despite not being on my usual reading pile. I enjoyed the battle scenes, the romance scenes and the friendships that grew from the book. If this review was on Amazon, this would get five stars and I truly hope that more people give this book a try and the recognition that it so deserves. -- The Indie Book Review Site (for full review please see the web site.)

Four stars and a Recommended Read - "Even though the focus is on Morgan and Kyri, there are a lot of other characters, both human and fairy that bring a lot to the story...  I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to read a light epic fantasy with a good romance baked into it." - The To Be Read Pile

From the Inside Flap

Below on the stair came the sound of battle, the clang and clamor of steel on steel, the grunt and groan of men in combat as Morgan's men held the door. They hammered the invaders back and back, slammed the door shut and barred it quickly. It wouldn't hold long. They burst out into darkness as the wind whipped at their hair, their clothes, as it battered at them. Far beneath them in the courtyard below, the castle Guard fought a hopeless battle. Steel rang on steel, metal crashed on wood... Light flashed luridly, greenish and unnatural... Magic... Men died in the roar of those flames... Shouts, screams and desperate cries filled the air clearly even so high above. Oryan looked up to the dark night sky. To find it filled with gossamer wings...

4.0 out of 5 stars Epic, Hot Fantasy Romance December 27, 2011

By StephanieHaddad

Format:Kindle Edition

This is a pretty epic book. No, really, it's long, covers a couple of years, lots of traveling, and has an epic feel to it. It reminds me more of one of those "guy" fantasy stories that has a couple of volumes. I hate to say it, but the first half of the book dragged. I felt like it could have been cut in half and moved a lot faster, and there was too much of a focus on politics and more minor characters. BUT - the second half of the book rocked. The action was fast paced, the love scenes were hot, the dialogue was snappy, and the focus remained on the people I actually gave a hoot about - Kyriay and Morgan.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK, we get it August 1, 2012

By Reading is fun

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

The fairy queen is the most gorgeous, beautiful, etc. etc. Morgan has the bluest eyes, hard abs, etc. etc. The hunters look like wolves walking on two legs and think like men. Repeat ad nauseum. Take out most of the repetition and it would probably shave 100+ pages off the book.

The story is good if you can get past all the repetition. I managed to with the author's book titled Nike's Wings but I could not make it through this one.

Long, well written. Lighter on the romance, higher on the adventure. I had a tough time putting this one down.
