I read alot of good things about this book and ended up getting it from here. I did see it in the stores, and wasn't real sure that I would like it from reading the back cover. WOW...What a surprise. I loved this story. Like the previous person said, I didn't want to put it down. The story was well written and definately keeps your interest. I loved Rain and Ellie, they were two strong characters that had a wonderful story. I also really liked Bel..I hope there is more about him later. I would recommend this books to anyone who likes paranormal romance. It doesn't disappoint.

When I saw this book at the store, I thought it looked a bit to sci-fi/fantasy for me, but a PBS buddy recommended it to me & WOW - this is a great book. A very original story of the Fae and Mage. The author has created a really cool world & when one reads the story they can really imagine it. The main characters are great and the story line is really good and not so predictable as many of the paranormal books can be. I dont want to give away any spoilers, but this book is great. I could not quit reading it. 5 stars

I liked this book. From looking at the front cover it is not something that I would like, even reading the back cover it still did not sound good to me. But with all I have heard about this book, I decided to check it out. And I am so glad I did. It was a very good story. It grabbed me from the begining, the middle was a little slow, but the ending was really good. I wish it would have moved a little faster than it did, but it was a good book. I am reading the second one currently and I have to say that I am dissapointed that the next parts don't come out until the end of 2008, but I will make due. Overall it was a great book, not like anything I have read to date.

This is one of the best books I have ever read! I was totally enthralled from the first page and when the PBS member wouldn't respond to my interest in ordering book two, I canceled the order and am rushing to go BUY it for full price at the store(as soon as it opens!). I NEVER buy books full price. Well, it's That good, and I just couldn't wait.
It is rich with detail and full of character development. You instantly fall in love with Rain and sweet Ellie. Even though I am only getting a glimpse in this first book, I loved the culture of the Fey, and I think there was a healthy balance of suspense, mystery and the tension in their romance. It isn't hard to follow with Wilson's concepts and is pretty 'basic' in it's adventure(meaning typical fantasy plots with magic, enemies and war, orphans with mysterious backgrounds), but the dialogue between characters is rich and mature and intelligent and not at all simple. I simply just devoured it! It has jumped to my favorite books of all time, and once I read the others, probably my most favorite series! I LOVE PBS for helping me discover new authors and new worlds! This one is a diamond in the ruff, a gem for sure!

Great romance, magic book. I have read the whole series so far and am anxiously awaiting the 4th book. The author draws you into this world with detailed descriptions and doesn't leave you wondering how things work or what things mean. You come to care not only for the main characters but for the secondary ones too. C.L. Lewis took the time to develop her characters and the drama of this fantasy novel. This is NOT a cookie cutter book with a predictable plot. I loved it and hope you do too.

L-O-V-E-D I-T! Every character is a delight. Not usually into fantasy, but, this was wonderful.

The romance was about as equal to the fantasy for me and I couldn't connect to the main characters so then couldn't connect to the romance. And on the fantasy side, it didn't wow me. This is one of those books where I'm a little surprised: I didn't like it. It was very close to being a DNF. I found it very hard to connect to but I was encouraged to keep going and so I did. After a certain point I figured I may as well read it all so I can say I honestly gave the whole book a try. Many people loved this book, obviously things that bothered me were seen differently by others. I see so many good reviews (a few from people I usually agree with!) that I question my sanity. I recommend looking at the other reviews and make up your own mind.
