Lisa Blackwood is the author of the bestselling Gargoyle and Sorceress urban fantasy series. Her work has also landed on the Wall Street Journal and the USA Today Bestseller lists as part of the Dominion Rising Anthology. When she’s not reading and writing, she also enjoys gardening and spending time with her horse and her dogs.

At present, she grudgingly lives in a small town in Southern Ontario, though she would much rather live deep in a dark forest, surrounded by majestic old-growth trees. Since she cannot live her fantasy, she decided to write fantasy instead.

great introduction

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 11, 2022

A great introduction to a wonderful series. The sorceress is saved by her gargoyle, but at massive cost. It is time for her to mature and for him to heal, but he won’t be there to protect her, and the dangers are many.

This story has really caught my interest and now my fandom. So thank you for that.

The characters are easily understood and I found myself rooting for the good guys

I was looking for something new to read. I'm surprised at how captivating it was. This story is the perfect introduction to a new world. I am really looking forward to reading this series.

Fun reading enjoyed the characters a lot

This is a nice lead in to book 1 and I'm glad I read it. It of course leaves you wanting more but it's a good clean break point so I'm going to call it a complete book NOT a cliffhanger. Action/adventure? Yes! Romance? Kind of? Sex? Nope not so much as a smooch.

Needlessly Convoluted

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 20, 2022

Verified Purchase

I stopped reading at 75%, but wanted to stop reading MUCH earlier and kept reading despite my better judgement, hoping it would get better. It did not.

While the writing isn’t bad on a mechanical level, the story lacks a cohesive plot. The events are needlessly convoluted, with several redundancies and some failures in logic. Moreover, despite many narrative lags to explain the characters, their history, and their situation, there are several question marks about setting, situation, and motivation.

The main characters – the Avatar’s male and female halves – are unfortunately overdrawn; Daryna is too calm and unreactive, Durnathyne leaps to instant overreaction. They lack the depth to feel like real people.

Unfortunately, I could not could get engaged.

The time to escape the Battle Goddess had come and the gargoyle struggled to reach a safe haven for his sorceress. Casting a protective spell he reluctantly leaves her in the care of others before turning to stone to heal. Their story in this world is only beginning and their fight is yet to come.

This story of Sorceress and Gargoyle was very good

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 5, 2021

Verified Purchase

The Sorceress and Gargoyle was good for what was there but was very incomplete. Needed a before and after to make it more than a chapter in a story. Does let you know who is the good and bad but not where or why. Lets you know if you can get the rest of story would be great.

Promising Prequel

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 2, 2022

Verified Purchase

This short story introduces two main characters from a series of fantasy novels. The titular heroine finds herself born again under the control of evil forces. Her forever companion is once again recreated as a gargoyle, but he is forced into the world too early in order to protect her.
A very promising start with an ending which makes the reader eager to find what happens next.

Light v dark the age old war

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 24, 2019

Verified Purchase

Witches, gargoyles and all manner of dark beings. Light continues to battle the darkness in this opening novella. Escaping the dark realm in order to heal, the gargoyle protector and the other half of his soul fight to escape the wickedness. Arriving in a realm with no magic it is time to heal. The darkness will find them and they will need to be ready.

A well written opener to the start of this series. It sets the scene and gives you a glimpse in to charachters to be revealed. Looking forward to reading Sorceress Awakening.

The beginning

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 6, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is a prequel to the beginning of the sorceress and the gargoyles stories.
It's very well written, and cleverly put together.
I love the lead characters, even as children they're only thoughts are for the good.
There's nonstop excitement and action, a real page turner.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, my only problem was that it was too short

Predictable.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 18, 2022

Verified Purchase

This is one of those tales that will probably appeal to the ladies more so than men. I could see where it was heading and gave up on it.
