I'll let you know Melhay, but just a taste as my review belongs to another ![]()
but here's what I thought of the first in the trilogy:
VENGEANCE
by Ian Irvine
Genre: Fantasy, General Fantasy
RT Rating
A millennium ago, 144 children were betrayed by their own and used as the spoils of war. Their descendants have been enslaved, until a seemingly insignificant slave girl escapes Cython — fulfilling a prophecy she knew nothing about — to return to her ancestral home of Hightspall where history paints a very different past. As she blindly goes about changing the future she makes both friends and enemies, bringing down great houses and unleashing forces that have been locked away for eons. But there’s more at work here than a clever enemy with unstoppable weapons, this battle has been planned and schemed by an invisible menace whose memory is long and whose only thought is for vengeance. (ORBIT, Apr., 688 pp.,$14.99)

Book One in the Tainted Realm series by Irvine uses his vast love of, and experience in, fantasy and science to bring us the first of another epic adventure in magery, magic, violence and hope. Irvine uses an imaginative and dynamic narrative that comes alive for readers. He gives us the story in bits and doses, where the battles are deadly and where his characters will rule the pages, where his readers will long for answers they’ll have to wait for.A millennium ago, 144 children were betrayed by their own and used as the spoils of war.

I need to get back to the Dresden series. I am so far behind and it is such a good series. I just finished Howling Legion. A series I can't believe I didn't read sooner. This second book of the series just blew me away. I definitely recommend these.

I didn't think I was going to pick anything up with the holiday, and the crazy running with family and holiday stuff. But I did. I'm halfway through it and basically started it yesterday. It's a good mystery with modernized fairytale characters, and they are ALL grown up. ![]()

I finished Lullaby over the Holidays. What a fun, dark series about sirens. Hocking made a great transition to St. Martins press from being self published ebook author.
Tidal the third book in the series will be coming out in June, 2013.

Just finished:
Iced (Dani O'Malley Series #1)
This book was awesome! I have missed the Fever series so much and KMM did not disappoint! The only thing I wished was that Dani was older... I also can't decide on who I like more... Ryo, Dancer or Christian!
they are all sooo different.
I also just finished:
Cold Days (Dresden Files Series #14)
This latest HD novel was great too! Oh and what an ending!!
Why do we have to wait two long for the next books in these two series?!?!
i am finally reading:
Blue-Blooded Vamp (Sabina Kane Series #5)
so far so good... I hope Sabina gets her HEA!!

Right now I'm working on "Sweet Venom" by Tera Lynn Childs. So far it's a good read if it continues to be a good read I might just have to get the second one "Sweet Shadows"

Wasn't a big fan of Discount. Couldn't warm up to the main.
