I grudgingly admit this was less bad than I expected. The second and third stories, in particular, managed to capture some of the charm of the original books. And yet.Look--these are not by any stretch of the imagination good books. I cheerfully refer to them as my "magical cock rings and unicorns" novels. The original trilogy was an everything-and-the-kitchen-sink, write-straight-from-the-id kind of thing. And, at least for me, it worked. Watching Jaenelle grow up and build a family wasMy review on this is going to be short. Mostly because I read three of the stories and started into the 4th and then stopped because it was too soon and I had very strange feelings about it overall, I just wasnt ready to read that tale.Windsol gifts It is a cute little holiday story that include all of the family getting together and just proves that Saetan is smarter than the rest of them since he knows how to distract an inquisitive child with a present they are supposed to break. Cute and
Simply awful. Killed my enjoyment of the whole series.
SPOILERS!!! WARNING!!! HIGH LORD'S DAUGHTER SPOILERS!!!!!Jaenelle and Saetan are dead. Surreal comforts Daemon, her true-love all along, by having a one-night stand with him. She ends up getting pregnant with a daughter, a Dreams Made Flesh from the dreams of Surreal, Daemon and Jaenelle. They name her Jaenelle Saetian. Daemon marries Surreal so their daughter doesn't become a bastard. He eventually loves her, but not as much as she loves him. Apparently, she has always loved him ever since she
Caveat: I do get on my soap box with these thoughts on the book (I won't go so far as to call this a review).Three and a half stars.When Twilight's Dawn was released last year I, like others, became caught up in the furore over one of the novellas - The High Lord's Daughter. At the time I decided not to read it, so I put it to one side on my library hold list where it has languished until the beginning of this week. And then I picked it up. I like to think that I didn't bring last year's baggage
** Major spoilers within **I have a lot of feelings about this series.I am not a big reader of romance novels - I'm gay, so reading about women fawning all over men who are the exact opposite of what I'm attracted to is just not interesting to me. Nothing against romance as a genre, in fact I think it's super cool that a genre that is so specifically female is finally becoming really mainstream and there's a neverending stream of new books on the subject. Mostly by women authors. That's awesome.
