Okay....what a disapointment! I absolutely loved this book and could not put it down until the last 20 pages or so. The story line took a dramatic turn and I really did not like the end of the book. It kind of ruined it for me! I will not go into details...in case you want to read this book but the ending went against things that I believe in...too bad! It was so good up until that point. I do however understand why the author had to end the book the way she did, I just wish that there could hav

I read this awhile ago. It just didn't live up to the first two books, or even the third. I found the main character's "solution" to the problem childish and cowardly, like she was God and could dictate the intelligence of her race. I feel like nobody got anywhere in this book, actually, if anything, the world went backwards in terms of progress. I did enjoy the deal with the falcons (they make formidable bad guys, I tell you what!) and I loved the Falcon guy whose name I can't remembe

I am torn between a 3 star and a 4 star..
I apoligise for the long review, I am such a fan of her books BUT.
I really enjoyed the beginning of this book.
I am a fan of Atwater-Rhode's simple yet interesting stories.
She weaves a great mix of history and mythology into her worlds when she creates them.
She always has great and real character developement and interaction.
I was relly getting into all of that with this book UP until the end.

Oliza is now 19 and suitors abound but the choice is difficult since it is a choice that must be accepted by both the Avians and the Serpiente if she is to maintain peace within the combined kingdoms since she is the heir to both thrones. When Urban, the Serpiente dancer who is the most prominent Serpiente suitor, is beaten, Oliza faces the hard truth that melding the 2 kingdoms will be much harder than her parents had hoped.

Was looking for an easy read so I decided to give this series a go.
In the first three books, the author beautifully sets up the plots and character traits that I found myself wanting to believe such a world existed. This particular book, however, seems like a means to an end, sloppy ideas thrown together on the page. I could empathize with the internal struggle Oliza faces as her pending coronation is just around the corner. But, I simply could not buy into the tacky advances from the alp More...

The fourth volume of The Kiesha'Ra focuses on Oliza, the heir to both the avian and serpiente thrones. Even though there has been peace in Wyvern's Court for years the avians and serpiente still suffer from fear, distrust, and prejudice. Oliza struggles to choose a mate who will bring the two groups together instead of driving them apart. All she really wants is a future where she can choose a mate she loves without inciting war. But is that even possible? Things worsen when she is kidnapped and

It surprised me of how much I didn't like this book. I love Amelia's series, but up until this book, I hated to confess that this book isn't one of my favorites. It was an okay book in the beginning, but in the last few pages, I wasn't amused by the concept and stopped reading in mid page. I thought Oliza would've ended up choosing a suitor which in she had choices, or maybe even better; Nicias, that is why I kept reading forward. It is kind of a disappointment though. I wouldn't recommend it to

'Wolfcy' is another great addition to the Kiesha'ra series. In fact, I enjoyed it a bit more than the last two. The previous books have all done an excellent job of building up this shapeshifting world, so much by this point, that it makes it all the more interesting to appreciate how far the characters and the story between the Avian and Serpiente people have come along.

ok now were talking!!! by far i liked this among all of the kiesha'ra books (well i havent read the last book though) it has everything on it, intrigue especially. i just didnt expect it, who oliza chose to be mate...totally way over my expectations!!!
this book dwells more on the pressure oliza has in choosing her mate which could greatly affect the outcome of her court, the wyvern court. even though the avian and serpiente are living together still there is unrest among the people More...

I thought this book was going to be really good. It was. Until it completely switched gears and had the solution be to have her like Betia. That is so wrong! I was expecting it to be romantic but apparently she's gay! Gah. I hate it. I think this book is the worst in the series. I refuse to read the last book because I think she ruined it. Hawksong was the best and it just seems that Amelia Atwater-Rhodes is dragging out the series.

Icky, yucky, stupid, ridiculous! **Spoilers**
I am so disappointed! I really loved the first book and the second two were interesting enough, but lets just destroy everything the parent's worked for in one book. The parent's devoted their lives to uniting waring people's only for their daughter to destroy it all with one blow and run off with her lesbian lover. Ew, gross, stupid. And yet she says that she did it in order to prevent war again. I don't believe it. This has to be the worst More...

Gosh this was such a wonderful book. In terms of conflict and romance it was by far the best one. I never realized what a strong character Oliza was until I read Wolfcry. She showed how a true queen should act and what a true queen should do in order to honor and protect her people. Even so, the ending caught me off guard. I'm excited to read Wyvernhail. It has to be beyond amazing in order to beat this one.

I have to say that this might have been the best one (since the first). I really liked the conflict of what someone wants and what they need to do. The fact that Oliza decided it was best to have her people be ruled by someone other then her because she would in the end hurt them was great. I admit that the girl wolf thing was a bit predictable but I guess the author felt that was the only way.

Now that I have time, I'm adding a quick review.
OKAY
So this is the fourth book in the Kiesha'ra series, (Hawksong, Snakecharm, Falcondance)
It was...different.
Telling you what happens spoils the entire series, so I'm not gonna say much except that there is a lot of confusion, and for those of you that started it but stopped when it got REALLY weird, they (not telling you who 'they' is) stay with the Obsidian guild.
End of story.

I super loved this series until this book... in this book, a lesbian relationship is portrayed. I hate it when I find a series that is so appealing to young adult readers and then the author ruins it with immoral situations like this. =( Very sad about this one =( The good news is you can stop at the third book and it feels like the story is complete. However, since teens tend to read all of the series, I have stopped recommending this series to them because of this book.

I wonder what is it in this series that make me keep reading.. I was thoroughly disappointed with this book, yet still got the next book. I just found the ending lacking. There is all this turmoil about her taking the crown and then she just drops it, gives it to her two cousins, and leaves with her lesbian lover? Very disappointing.

This story was amazing. It features Oliza Shardae Cobriana who is the heir to the wyvern's court, home of the avians and the serpiente. The story centers around Oliza trying to pacify both sides of her kingdoms and her encounters with wolves. With a very nice surprise at the end.

Better than I thought but still not good. This series has gone down hill since Snakecharm came out. Sad but true. If you want to read this and like me had all but lost faith in the series, rent it from your local library.

I liked this book a lot and like all of the other book in the series I wasn't surprised it was exciting and interesting. I really enjoyed this book just as much as all of the other books in the same series.

This one deals with a concept you don't often see in young adult novels. Not as good as the others, maybe, but only by half a star. Also, I wasn't happy with the resolution, but it was nicely unexpected.

Bleah. The worst book of the series. There's no way to unite the disparate cultures, and no matter what you do you'll end up destroying the society you've tried to hold together. Very bleak.

Worst book in the series. Oliza doesn't seem like a strong character. SHE SHOULD'VE PICKED NICIAS!!!!!!!! This book was boring and not very interesting.
