REASON FOR READ:.
I LOVE THIS SERIES so when this one came out I HAD TO HAVE IT.
SUMMARY (from Goodreads):
Anne Bishop's "darkly fascinating"* (SF Site) Black Jewel novels have enthralled readers and critics alike with their mixture of fantasy, intrigue, and romance. Now in Twilight's Dawn, Bishop returns to the Blood realm with four all-new captivating novellas
THOUGHTS/OPINION:
This has 4 different stories they start off sweet and gradually move darker toward the Black Jewel’s tone. A lot of people didn’t like how Ms. Bishop wrapped up the series with D and J but I have to say I think she did a fantastic job and I do not for any reason think the child D has is a replacement for J. Move on people and get over it.
THINGS I LIKED:
- I liked getting yet another glimpse of the people I have grown to love in this series
- I thought all the stories were great the one with were D loses not only J but his dad nearly did me in I felt so bad for D~
- I liked watching L and his family growing I love, love, love that he had a daughter he needed one and so did M
THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE:
- I admit it I’m very sorry that this series is coming to an end I do not have any idea if this was the last one but I have a feeling it was and I will greatly miss this series.

I LOVE this series... I have yet to read Twilight's Dawn, but I look forward to it. I'm sad to see all the changes you describe, as I haven't read it yet. Sometimes you read a good yarn and, although you don't want these changes, you know the story is all the better for it...
ReplyDeleteNanu: I was sad to see it coming to an end but it was a bitter sweet end. I'm glad how she did it but secretly I wish she will continue with this series but only with the children LOL I think that could be fun. Could you imagine the kids of L's all grown up LOL
