Sara is one of my all time favourite authors. I will not hesitate to buy one of her new releases and I have enjoyed all of her books... and I enjoyed this one, but I found myself slightly dissatisfied with this book... This book was very plot driven. We've had two books to get to know a lot of ch...
Sadly, this will be the last Sara Douglass book I read. As she is no longer with us to grace us with her writings.I adored this novel. The last section moved me to tears. Not many writings have done that so that alone makes this book stand out for me.Again, Sara's mastery of story telling and tyi...

This was a really interesting fantasy read. Throughout the novel there are a lot of mysteries and shocks. For the vast majority of the plot, the twists were logical. I did have a problem with the logic of the ending. I felt that it was a bit of a cop out and the author changed her mind at the las...

An ancient land. Most think they know its history. But few suspect and fewer still know the truth. For b...
I was kind of more than a little surprised (and impressed to be honest) how much I ended up liking this novel at the end of it. For the first 100 pages I was in agony; seeking only to read my required amount (I give every book 100 pages to shape up, though there are exceptions to that rule), befo...

His eyes jerked open instantly, and he drew his breath sharply in horror. His slid a hand down to where Faraday’s hands were clasped loosely about his waist. She was heavy against his back, fully asleep, and unaware of the danger. “Faraday!” he whispered fiercely. She stirred. “Faraday…” “Mmm?” “...
It was cold—Stars! It was freezing!—but DragonStar had cloaked himself well, and had donned scarves and gloves against the night air. Something was happening, and he needed to know what. And so he climbed to the very topmost rock, and there he sat, huddled against the night, sending his far-sense...
said Thorseby. “What further sign do you need than this pestilence? If you do not move, and soon, then the pestilence shall envelop all England.” Sign of God or not, Hotspur well knew the advantages the sudden eruption of the pestilence had given him. First Exeter’s revolt. Nasty, but not deadly ...
Jack thought that if it wasn’t for the terrible expression of hopelessness on her face, she would never have looked so beautiful. “You know,” she said, “you and I have never talked about Grace. What you and she, um…what your…” She stopped and, remarkably, blushed. Jack almost managed a smile. “Wh...
