This is my favourite Nora Roberts trilogy, it has everything for lovers of Paranormal romance - Sorcerer, witch, scholar, warrior, shapeshifter and vampire, with a sprinkling of time travel. I couldn't put it down and couldn't wait to finish it to see what happened to all the characters. By the same token - I was really sorry when I did finish it. One for the re-read pile I think!
this is definitely nora roberts and paranormal romance at its best. i read alot of romances and most are adorably cheesy and predictable. while i love that sometimes nora roberts is a treat because of her unbelievable talent. i forgot how easy it is to get lost in her writing but this is definitely one of my favorites by her. frst of all the storyline is essentially a modern day epic albeit with a softer perspective than the older ones. roberts manages to bring the story and characters to life....more
I believe this series is Nora Roberts' writing at her very best. I love the whole fairytale aspect of it. I actually wanted to give the series a five star rating, but I am giving it 4.5, only because of what I felt were the silly conversations between Lilith, the Vampire Queen, and her subjects. To wit:
"Bring me someone to eat."
OR:
After practically draining a human being between them, Laura uses her napkin, delicately dabbing at her lips, and says, "I needed a civilized meal." Absolutely silly.

While not a huge fan of Nora Roberts I have to be impressed by the sheer volume of work she puts out, but most of it does not interest me. This trilogy is what I would call a HUGE exception, it was entertaining, the story-line that some have thought predictable was captivating and I find it an epic example of what I hope to find when I read any book in this genre. This is the gold standard I use to measure other works against. The thing here is why? The main thing for me in any book is to be ent...more
This trilogy was recommended to my by a coworker, since I liked the Twilight series. The only thing this set has in common with Twilight is that some of the characters were vampires. The first book in this set took forever to read, the second and third went pretty quickly. I'm not going to go into the story line, but I'll say that it was fairly predictable, and had guessed the identity of the narrator of the story before I finished the second book. There was a lot in these novels that I thought...more

Cian was the very first vampire I fell in love with and I still love him even now. The series was so good I read right through the night and finished it and started all over again.
The first book is about Hoyt and Jenna and basically sets up the rest of the story. The second is about Blair and Larkin and the last book is about Cian and Moira. The 6 are enlisted by the goddess Morrigan to fight the vampire queen Lilith and army of vampires. In the midst of all this they find love.

Read this trilogy when it first came out. Half way through the first book I had suspected how it would end ... who the actual story was. I had to read each book as soon as I could get my hands on it. Not only to see if I was right but also because the story was so compelling. I wept at the end even though I knew who the story teller was. I had read every Nora Roberts book up to this story. I had read others after. They were good but not the caliber of this story. So, I haven't read much since bu...more
The Circle Trilogy is one of my favorite trilogies by Nora Roberts. These books are about a sorcerer, shift changer, and vampire - you go into the future, through different worlds and times - the characters are amazing - there is no way to explain all that happens - but to just read them for yourself. There is wonderful character development and the relationships with all the characters also makes it one of my favorite reads.
I highly suggest getting ahold of an audio book of this trilogy. The narrator is wonderful. He has this authentic Irish accent. Wow. The characters are as diverse as the plot. Twists and turns. Gothic, time travel, vampires, queens, sorcerers--Nora included them all. I still cry in book three and know the ending. I've read them and listened to them. Hmm...I think I'll go read again!
Excellent series...you would want to try to audio version, the narrator has a powerful voice. Also get all three books, you won't want to miss what happens to:
1. Sorcerer
2. Witch
3. Vampire
4. Scholar
5. Shape Shifter
6. Warrior
I was sorry when it ended.

I absolutely loved this trilogy. I can't wait to read it again. I was really impressed with how accurate Nora Roberts was when referring to the magick and witchcraft, she must have done her research. I couldn't put these books down, I read them all in less than a week. Highly recommended.
All three of these books were terrific - such emotion, such a tangible connection between the characters and a storyline that never faltered. I loved this story and Nora Roberts' writing was as brilliant as ever.
I have loved all of the books that I've read written by Nora Roberts, but this by far is my favourite series! I love Cian! I don't read too many books over again, but this is a series that I've kept close at hand!
I read this series years ago and LOVED LOVED LOVED it so much. I hoped for another baby boy so I could steal a name from it. Nora Roberts never lets me down. Deep characters and emotion. Love it!
I love Nora Roberts and her easy and quick to read romance novels that always help take you away for just a few hours. I loved the Circle Trilogy was one of my favorites of Nora Roberts.
I truly enjoyed this trilogy! I've been a fan of Robert's romances for a while now, but her movement into the paranormal realm was seamless! I couldn't wait to get from one story to the next, and the framing of the story with another was a great touch!
Fun read, love the trilogies so you can visit with characters for more than one story. Magic, love, vampires, dragons, time travel and modern life. Fun combo of events and characters.
This is by far my favorite series by Nora Roberts. The books are so descriptive you can almost picture everything. I think these books should be made into movies.
I love how Nora Roberts build up her book but the endings just leave me feeling flat. So I enjoy tremendously the journey, but not the destination. I don't know why.
these books are exceptional and i won't hesitate to read them again! nora's romances are great, but her take on the supernatural is amazing in these books! a MUST read!
read it twice. couldn't help it. romance novels are my vice. add vampires, shape shifters, and witches and my geek side comes out. geek side + romance novel = reread!
I liked this trilogy. It was not just a romance. Add in all of the players in these books and what do you get? Another must read trilogy from Nora Roberts.
Vampires, witches, sorcerers, shape changers. Summer reading. Although I vowed never to read another group of books back to back, this set was OK. Somewhat predictable, good vs evil,constant attacks by vampires and evil queens, but an interesting tale. Did I mention the time travel??
Great trilogy, not a typical vampire story. Could not put it down. Fast paced read and the romance does not get in the way of the story.
Magic, vampires, romance, sex. What more could you want for summer reading or cooling your heels in an airport between flights? Enjoyable
Loved this trilogy! I really don't read Nora Roberts, but if she writes more of this genre, I'd definitely read more.
These characters were terrific!! I loved the story, chemistry, fantasy, love. Just great.
I LOVE THIS SERIES!!!!!!!!! Each of the characters is so easy to fall in love with!
Love this story! I've read it several times. I also listened to it on audio...
