Book 1 & 2 (Hawksong & Snakecharm) - Both are short books therefore there is only so much that can happen, however the books were somewhat uneventful. Despite that, I found the books enjoyable and left me looking forward to reading the rest of the series. I found the world created by Amelia was enthralled and fascinating. I found the cultures depicted within Amelia's world engaging and interesting.
Book 3 (Falcondance) - I found this book more interesting than previous books. It was als More...

Well, all I have to say is WAY TO GO Amelia Atwater-Rhodes!!!!!!!
You've once again managed to create what nobody in the genre has really created yet. Books about shape shifters are difficult (in my experience) to come by, and Amelia Atwater-Rhodes has done an amazing job of introducing this mix into the teen romance genre.
MINIMAL SPOILERS HERE GUYS IF YOU WANT TO READ FURTHER YOU WILL NOT BE SPOILED!!

I had a late night of reading last night and yesterday and I decided to read all of Amelia Atwater Rhodes shifter's series in one huge compilation. If you have never read and of Rhode's books, your should totally pic one up.
These stories are short and sweet. In each story there is a tale of love overcoming and obstacle overcome, even diplomacy between animal groups. There are leaders, lovers, last chances and dramatic moments in the stories. The central characters are making huge growth More...

You HAVE to read this part first. There are only two rules before reading this book:
1) Do not read the summaries at the back of the book. Read only the excerpt of which you are going to read because there will be spoilers and I’ve seen them myself which I regret reading.
2) Do not analyze the family tree because there are spoilers, yet again. To elaborate, you will know who are dead, who’ll be together and who their children would be.
So, for my reviews, I will avoid More...

This is a great series that combines the mystery and magic of a fantasy series with the intrigue and tumultuousness of a family saga.
It begins with Danica Shardae and Zane Cobriana as they struggle to end the war between their people by marrying. The series follows the trials and successes which follow from their reign of peace, inlcuding the sacrifices their daughter, Oliza, must make in order to preserve what her parents began. The series concludes with Oliza's cousin, Hai, as she More...

The five shapeshifter books should be read together, but considered four separate story arcs. If you don't the story could be disjointed. For me the flow was perfect, following the two generations of royalty and the friends they surrounded themselves with. And I found the situations both unique and true to the world created. And the World was amazing, I'm still spinning from how rich I found it and how deep the history yet.

I...liked the first two books of this series. After that I was like 'why is it suddenly the child that we are looking at?'
I would have preferred keeping the book to Zane and Danica rather than the kid and her love. Urgh, I didn't even bother reading the rest of the books.
Hawksong and SnakeCharm were good:D
after that...well you get the point.
So I rate it two stars for the first two books:)

I loved this book! Amelia Atwater-Rhodes is one of my favorite authors. Some parts of the book were slow, but important, so it was worth reading in the end. I was completely absorbed into the book. The plot line was great! And I can't wait to read more books by her. She's an awesome writer.

I cried in book 4! This is 5 novels placed in one very large book. A series of events that take place in order and over generations. It trapped me from the beginning and took me all the way through. Had I not needed sleep I wouldn't have put it down. One fantastic epic tale!

This book is really 5 semi-short stories (around 200 pages each). I don't really like short stories but thought maybe I could handle this one. I really liked the first story about Zane and Danica and wish that one would have been longer so the author could have focused a little more on the world building. The other stories didn't really catch my interest and I didn't even read the last one.

I really enjoyed the first book i this amazing novel but the rest depressed me a little. It is beautifully written but I just didn't like the ending really. I recommend it to everyone but try to be happy after.

I loved this though Oliza lost my favor every other part of this book was good. Earlier you would believe Oliza was the selfless good person but really that was more Hai. Way to go Amelia Atwater-Rhodes.

I found it difficult to start this book, maybe the number of pages that seemed daunting, I am not too sure. But I do know this that I am so glad I stuck with it and read it, it was well worth every minute.

Loved this book to pieces. I was caught in the veil of mystic and magical qualities long after I had finished reading.

Wow
Really, there's not much more I can say.
It was the most wonderful collection of books I have ever read.
It dragged me deep into the world where shapeshifters ruled and gave me amazing visual thoughts of the scenery.
Hawksong, Snakecharm, Falcondance, Wolfcry and Wyvern Hail, were truly masterpiece creations!

It's a really cool book (complete series in one book). It was a really unique story, it kept me hooked. It has a lot of "OMG no way!" moments. definitely a good read :D
