Jove, 2005

(3.5 stars) A bit much, but still deserves a tip of the hat

This one was good, but not as good as the other books in the series so far. I liked the new development of the second triumvirate with Nathaniel and Damian (Though I admit I got annoyed that the publishers misspelled the word "triumvirate" throughout; you'd think that they'd put a little time and ...

Not quite queen of the world.

+ Haunting...

Law seems to be particularly inept in situations where a book is this hard on the reader, and those critics in the Norton Critical Edition who consider this ...

great Celtic fantasy!

+ Not too bad

A good Celtic fantasy has pride, tragedy, fighting, honor, and humanity in it. This series is no exception to the rule. There are gems that have a certain power (Cloch Mors have a greater power while the clochmions have a lesser power) that need to be recharged in "mage lights" which makes me ...
