This book was faster paced then the last two and I enjoyed it. I love the fact that I'm still surprised by the storyline and that I can't guess how it is all going to end.

This is out of my normal reading material but I flew through the book and enjoyed the read. Interesting to read about a fringe group in the US and how one man got obsesssed and list himself. You hear a lot about the Hell's Angels so it was nice to read about what us true and what isn't and how their little society works.

Good stories. Some were stronger than others. I enjoyed the one bt David Weber immensely and also the one from George R R Martin.

This book is out of my usually genre and although it was interesting to learn about a historical event it won't be a book I read again thus the 3 stars. I'm glad I read the book as a ton of my relatives live around the area, and it does give me a different perspective of some of the well known persons of the time such as Carnegie. It's funny that back in 1889 we in the US were having some of the same discussions about “the rich” and “the working class” as well as immigration. Back then it was the Hungarians though. I recommend this book as a a great educational one.

This was my second reading of this book and it was harder to get into then I remember from my first read. It might be because I know that this book has a lot of information in it that sets up the whole series. I do like how [a:Janny Wurts 8591 Janny Wurts http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1232652981p2/8591.jpg] doesn't make things black and white with this series. There is no good and evil in the traditional sense but a lot of gray and how the characters handle things is left up to them. I don't feel like the characters are on a set path. I look forward to re-reading the rest of the series and moving into the new book coming out soon!

Good continuation of the story, the charcters become more likable as we get to know them more throughout this book. The story also gets better as we move through the book, things aren't as black and white as you believe they are.

I enjoyed it, and look forward to the next book and the series.

I enjoyed this book so much so that I've already finished the 2nd book in the series. I liked the character development and it has enough suspense that I don't know exactly what is around the corner. There are still some mysteries that I can see aren't as black and white as they may seem.

I liked this book quite a bit. I didn't give it 5 stars because it didn't enthrall me. I think that 5 star books should be those that you just CAN'T put down. Some parts of this book were like that but others weren't. If I read this book again in the future my opinion may change. I like how this story reads, it is like poetry but not so much that I couldn't read it. I'm not a fan of poetry as it is usually above my head but through this book I was able to appreciate it more. I like the undercurrents of song and music.I liked the first chapter, and it got me hooked, but I got lost in the next couple of chapters. However, after that the book grabbed hold and I understood the first couple of chapters better and understood the book as a whole. The main characters were Blaise and Bertran and I really enjoyed getting to know them. I liked that fact that Bertran was not only a ruler but a big part of the culture of Arbonne by being a troubadour. I also liked the characters of Rudel and Valery: steady, loyal and funny.I think some of the characters weren't fleshed out as much as I would have liked. I wanted more of them, particularly most of the female characters. But the end of the book gives me a hint that we may hear more of them in later books. This was my first read of [a:Guy Gavriel Kay 60177 Guy Gavriel Kay http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1218804723p2/60177.jpg] and I'm looking forward to reading more of his works.

This was a very quick read, done in a 2.5 hour flight. I'm a bit confused by the whole book as the ending was not really an ending. I was left wanting more and I'm sure that was why it was that way, although it was very abrupt. I don't usually pick up YA books so this must have been a freebie for the Kindle because I don't think I would have picked it up otherwise. It was a nice surprise.

There is something fascinating about what teenagers will do to be accepted. We all did it to some extent growing up and it is amplified in this book. Reed wants to be accepted and finds herself doing things that she never thought she would be involved in.


I will probably read the rest of them as they are like “candy”. Easy going down and you feel a little guilty for reading it. But you need “treats” every once in a while.

I enjoyed this book. It was something different than my usual fantasy genre fare but I really got into the characters and the plot really moved along. I like books that make me think and teach me things as well and this book does this. I never really knew much about the theory of reincarnation except for those religions that believe in it. This book opened my eyes to the fact that there are many people that believe in this theory or at least expressed interest through their poetry or quotes that they made during history. It is an interesting theory and this book makes me want to look more into it.

This series is definitely a series because both this book and the first book just sort of ended where the combatants were at the time. I enjoyed this book, it was a quick, easy read while the plot moved forward quickly with lot's of action. I love the fact that these authors published this book themselves using an e-book format and look forward to the last book in the trilogy.

A very good start to what I hope is a good series. It reminds me a lot of George R.R. Martin's first book The Game of Thrones. Not as many characters and not as good but still a very good story. It is amazing how many books you read when you are sick, this is my third in 6 days and it was my favorite by far. I'm looking forward to seeing the young hero grow into his future and see how the overall story develops.

The first chapter of the book really caught me and I was really interested on where the author was taking me. I liked the storyline but the book was really about the journey of the characters and their growth. Having read The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon I'm into the Scottish culture these days and the references to that culture were nice tidbits. Since I normally read Fantasy books I'm trained to having lot's of action in my books and this was missing but the overall story was a good one.

I usually love the world of Avalon and although it didn't take me much time to get through the book because I was sick and I couldn't do anything else this book was not as enjoyable as usual. I was never connected with any of the characters. I believe the author wanted to describe a period of time that had never been addressed but the story was never really fleshed out enough for me to care. I liked the characters but I never connected with them, never saw really what drove them. There was something missing as far as tying them to the story, they were there and then the did something. There wasn't much of a connection between their actions and their personalities. Not a waste of my time to read but I won't read it again.

I'm trying to decide if I want to continue with this series. I want to find out what happens so the students/children but I'm not sure I like his writing style. I liked the story but sometimes it gets bogged down with this extraneous stuff, like detailed explanations of scientific or physic type principles. That is one part then it goes off into a tangent about Greek mythology. I think that the Greek mythology is setting up the the next books but the scientific/physic stuff just seems superfluous and it distracts from the overall series. Seeing as not that many other people have read it I wonder if this was one of those free books I picked up from Kindle. I'm stumped if I want to continue the series to find out what happens or define it as a waste of my time and leave it as is.

This was another book that was slow to start or maybe I wasn't really inerested because I was in the middle of another series. But as I got into it, it got better. Maybe it was just a set up book for the series.

It did have some obvious things that were apparent from the beginning. You just knew that the four friends from the same hamlet would have powers at some point. They go their seperate ways but you knew that their lives were intertwined and that they would be back together again. The usual struggles between good and evil are woven throughout the book, with a couple of mild twists thrown in. I liked the character Nonnis because he wasn't so black & white. He had done “bad” things in his past but was trying to do “good” even though his bad deeds seemed to haunt him.

Overall I will continue reading the series and look forward to traveling with teh characters again.

This was a free book that I bought from Kindle. I'm not sure what to make of it actually. I kind of consider it a short story and sounds like it is a stand alone book but I'm not sure.

It took a while to get into the story but it turned out ok. The main character is Eden and she see thigns. The paranormal runs in her family as her mother was committed to an insance asylum before she was born and her Aunt is raisingn her now. Through the years she has asked her Aunt about things but her Aunt puts her off. As a result when she reaches her twenties she goes off on her own to find out what or who she is.

There is a lot of what I would call Aftrican mysticism and in the end everything gets sorted out but there is an opening for more stories to be told.

I'm not sure I would recommend this book to anyone. It just wasn't my cup of tea but it wasn't painful to read.

This book was more fast paced than Voyager and I had a hard time putting it down. IT was more character based and less movement around the globe. Voyager went from Scotland to Jamaica to North Carolina, but this was more based in North Carolina. It told more of the story of Brianna and Roger and how they fit into the lives of Jaime and Claire. Intereting use of historical data and the relationships between father/daughter and father/son-in-law.

I'm glad that Claire is a strong female character and breaks out of the expected female role in that time period. Brianna follows in her mother's footsteps and I love her strong temperment too. I'm glad the author also spent time on the story of the Indians as so much rich culture was lost.

You know a story is good when it makes one want to go back and study the history of the day. I can't wait to see what happens in the next two books.

Darn, this is the end of the book?? And the next one isn't out yet?? That was my reaction ot finishing this book, I was almost desperate to keep reading and finish the story!!

C.E. Murphy is now one of my favorite authors. I love the fact that there is a story inside a story. That there is an alien Sci Fi aspect that is not really explained but prevalent in why the main character is the way she is, that that the whole story is based in Medieval Times. The Character of Belinda Primrose is so complicated even to her and it is refreshping to see her take on so many personas and be a strong lead. I also love her nemesis Javier, and how they are intertwined, although I could have done without one relationship they have. I like that they are intertwined in so many unexpected ways though.

Like I said a surprising set up and delightful characters.

I read this book because I enjoyed The Obsidian Series and the character interaction. I think that I even laughed outloud for a couple or parts of that series but this series was just missing something. As another reviewer at another site said this series could have been made into one book. This book was a waste of my time. I finished to finish the story but I couldn't believe how much time was wasted going from one place then back to another just to fill pages in the novel. At the end, when it ended up that way and there really wasn't much character development I was left wondering why. Don't start the series is my advice you aren't missing much.

The second book in the series which overall I enjoyed.

I read this book so that I could then go to the movie but I never ended up seeing the movie. My understanding is that the movie is quite different than the book as usual. This book was like candy to me, and easy read but not very filling. Just something light, enjoyable once but probably not again.

I enjoyed the second book of the series and concluding book as much as I enjoyed the first book. The writing was solid, the story was good and the characters were likable.

So I had to re-read this book as I picked up the second book and got about a quarter of the way through it and I didn't remember much about the characters from the first book. I think that I enjoyed it more the second time because I will probably change my rating from a 3 to a 4. I wonder if this is because I read a ways into the 2nd book and I saw more to the story and saw more promise. I'm interested in going forward and seeing where the self discovery of the main characters go because this book is less about the demons and more about where the characters started. The series seems to be developing a larger scope so I'm looking forward to it.

I always loved Tyler Hamilton's competitive spirit and how he fought through pain to race. I was saddened in his “downfall” but I'm glad to see he is recovering well. If you ate a bike race watcher getting hit upside the head with this book will change your perspective immediately. If you are a bike racer, like myself, you have compassion followed by disgust on what these riders have done. I don't stand in judgement but it calls into question everything and my cycling heroes are now shoved off the pedestal I put them on. I hope the new generation is not led down the doping paths but I will forever be skeptical now.
