Format:Mass Market Paperback
A gripping fantasy trilogy, rich in plot and character. But what makes Anne Bishop stand out from the rest is the fantastic way she can weave a little dry humour into her characters.
The only dissapointing thing being there wasn't more of it!!

I found this new "fae" trilogy from Anne Bishop to be decidedly less good than her first (the black jewels trilogy) and the standalone novel "The invisible ring", placed in the world of the "blood". The first book in the trilogy (pillars of the earth) was something of a disappointment to me and I am sad to say that the trilogy doesn't improve, rather the opposite. The world of the fae is much less original and interesting than that of the blood and at the end of the first book they appear to be little more than a bunch of spoiled brats. This fortunately improves some in this last installment, but it's hardly enough to lift the book. There are many characters, most of them female, but the vast majority is without depth. The common theme of the book is that all the females are strong and powerful, which at some point or other ends up scaring all the male characters. The plot itself is repetitive and not very original and the "bad guys" are just that, with no depth whatsoever.
All in all the book is no worse than the second installment of the trilogy, however, so those who, for some reason, very much liked the second part will probably not be disappointed by "The House of Gaian".
To summarise, a disappointing book from an author who definately can do better.

A fast paced beautifully written series. I loved this trilogy. It made me laugh and at times brought a tear to my eye. The characters are wonderfully written, and you can't help caring what happens to them. You cheer on the good guys and you want the villains to suffer as they deserve. This is my first experience of Anne Bishop, although I do already own the Black Jewels series, which I will now look forward to reading. I have to say that if it as good as Tir Alainn I will have no complaints. Hurray for Anne Bishop.
