Great Story, July 26, 2011
A friend recommended me this series and I have to admit that I didn't think I would enjoy it. However, I'm glad she did recommend them because they're great books and this one especially. Oliza has to find a way to unite her families' courts and herself along the way. It's a great story of her journey.
Also, I don't feel the author is trying to 'push' anything upon her readers. She's writing a story and you don't have to enjoy the tale. I do enjoy it.

Wolfcry, November 24, 2010
Although there are very few reviews, most have expressed their dislike for this book. I must say I'm surprised.
I will admit Wolfcry was my least favorite in the series. It is not for most of the reasons listed by others. I think Wolfcry offered brilliant perspective.
I really liked that we were finally able to meet and work with the wolves in this series. I never truly had a firm grasp of their presence in the former books. Before I begin my review, I hope that those who read it have an open mind.
Wolfcry is written from Oliza's perspective. It is the time when she must soon name her king and truly unify the avians and the serpiente. Before she has even made this decision, one of her suitors is harmed. Oliza is very uncertain as to what she is to do.
In falcondance we learn that Zane Cobriana's brother had a child. This child is half falcon and half cobra. She had been locked on the island of the falcons forever stuck in a cruel dark world. She is released from her ironically much loved prison, by falcon Nicias. This half serpent half falcon is the cousin to Oliza.
When Oliza's cousin warns her that she will do the wrong thing, Oliza does her best to make no decision. Soon after however, Oliza is abducted by the lions. Bewildered Oliza tries to escape and succeeds.
She is discovered by a lone female wolf. The wolf does not change form, but leads her to the camp of other wolves. Oliza seeks refuge there, but soon she finds she must leave when the alpha tries to harm her. She once again finds herself with the female wolf.
The two become very close friends and find refuge with the white vipers. They are welcomed and treated well. This is the part that many object to. Again I plead, keep an open mind. The wolf and Oliza fall in love, but Oliza knows she must go back and take her throne.
She is rescued by her family, but her wings are destroyed. Once again it is her cousin, Hai, who steps forward. Her cousin Hai, being half falcon possess certain magic and tells Oliza she may be able to fix her wings. Hai herself is unable to fly do to tragic events of mixing cobra and falcon blood. While fixing her wings, Oliza must participate in the magic as well. As while she does, she had visions of what will happen if she were to take the throne.
This is a very crucial part of the story that many seemed to have overlooked. Oliza doesn't run away; she goes because she must. This means she has a chance to be with the person she loves.
Wolfcry was very well written. It was an incredible story and a crucial part of the Kiesha'ra series. I recommend this book to you if you enjoyed the previous books in the series.

Wolfcry by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, June 7, 2009
This book was everything a reader could ask for. Well hidden plots, funny comments, burning romance and an extraordinary world. I found myself nodding my head to the exceptional truths brought to light by this book. There is still a division in this world and this book depicts how things could be. It's a must read and some of the things said kept me laughing for hours afterward.
