Oliza Shardae Cobriana is heir to Wyvern's Court, home of the avians and serpiente, whose war with each other ended just before Oliza was born. But hatred is slow to die, and not everyone likes the expressive way in which Urban, a serpiente dancer, is courting Oliza--especially not Marus, her reserved avian suitor. And when Urban is found beaten in avian land, Oliza is fil...more

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 alpha of...more

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...more

Review/Rating:

4 out of 5


Oliza Shardae Cobriana is the heir to two courts, the avians and serpiente. Although her parents merged the two courts together as Wyvern’s Court and the war ended, the hatred is still noticeable in Wyvern’s Court. However, when Urban, a serpiente dancer, expresses love to Oliza, the hatred and tension rises. Though when she finds Urban beaten up on the avian side of Wyvern’s Court, she begins to wonder how she can lead her people, when no one...more

This book, when compared to the other books in Keisha'Ra (the fifth included), this was a disappointment. While the book is told through Oliza's point of view, I don't feel like I know her better than I did during Falcondance. She always seems to caught in the moment that it's impossible to really get a feel for who she is (aside from the token "I'll do anything for my people!" kind of character that Atwater uses on basically every other character in the series. The Wolf Alpha was a refreshing c...more

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 remember and the...more

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.
It is like there was a wall this book hit once Oliza finguring...more

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.
The decision on a prospective mate becomes secondary when Hai, a displ...more

How disappointing. I've read the first three books and thoroughly enjoyed them. I was doing the same with this one until about half of the way through and then had a bad feeling I could see where this was going. But no, it can't be..... Either this author wrote her main characters into a complex situation that she had no idea how to get them out of, or she deliberately had to throw in a situation as a solution that totally turned me off - as well as being illogical to the extreme.

I don't think I...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...more

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...more

First of all I started with volume 4 because I had the impression that each volume stands on its own and I wasn’t really interested in the other volumes and I just wanted to read Vol. 4 because of it's lesbian contents.
This too might be the reason why I had some teething troubles because one has to face a very complex world with different languages (not always translated), different political issues and unfamiliar denotations. (e.g. ‘Wyvern’s Court’...) But with english not being my mother tong...more

I thought Wolfcry was going to be a good book, turns out it was. But there was one choice I did not like that the author wrote. She made Oliza (the main character) decide to renounce her thrown to the court and choose HER BEST FRIEND (Betia) THAT SAVED HER LIFE TWICE as her MATE. I seriously didn't like that, I also didn't like how the people who knew of it were okay with it and went along with their lives. It did teach a lesson though, that sometimes you have to give things up in order to be w...more
Jill
The story continues, and, thank goodness, we are not subjected to another twenty-year leap in time. Instead we pick up the story from Oliza's point of view not long after the events of Falcondance. The growth of the avian/serpiente society seems to have stalled, and Oliza struggles to lead her people to a world without hatred between the two races. I can't discuss her solution without giving away much of the story, but I will say that it leaves me wondering where they will go from here. I'm very...more

'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.

'Wolfcry" continued adding more to this world by introducing us to the Wolves and Lions in this book. Very cool. I really enjo...more

I read this as a middle schooler so I don't remember much of it. I remember I was blindsided by the romance at the end. I thought it was abrupt, and I completely wasn't expecting it. I do wonder if I'd think the same thing I read it again, though, or if it is really just the writing/awkward pacing. Half of the goodreads reviews on this book are along the lines of
(SPOILER)
"...and then there was a lesbian romance. IMMORAL. SO DISGUSTING. I HATE THIS BOOK."
21st century everyone. Get a grip.

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...hatred is s...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 book I've...more

Ahi... this was worse...
I cringed while reading...
This is the story of Oliza, heir to Wyvern's Court. I was expecting a story as interesting as those of her parents, but it was not!
Due to her magic, she has those visions that she soon forgets and during the aftermath she does things she forgets too.
The whole story was convoluted so much that at the end I was just tired and din't care if she will survive or not.

I definitely really enjoyed this one. I didn't remember much of it from my first read (hence the second run through) but I was happy to find that I really enjoyed the main character and found her experiences to be really intriguing. The end of the story seemed a bit simple and quick and/or too neat and tidy for my tastes, but that's not necessarily bad, considering the age range of the target audience.

I grew up in Concord, Massachusetts, where I matriculated through the public Concord-Carlisle school district from kindergarten until my graduation in 2001. The best part of school, from fifth grade until the year I graduated, was definitely chorus. I love music, and I love to sing, and though I never had the courage or the talent to participate in any of the high school plays as a performer, I en...more
