This series is definitely going to be five-stars! Blood Trinity in particular, however, is truly ranked at a four star for just one tiny reason: the world is HUGE!
Overall, I absolutely adored this story! Evalle in particular is, and no doubt will continue to be, a fascinating character. Her counterparts, Quinn and Tzader, are equally compelling, fun, and all out alpha to the extreme. There are so few books on the market that allow readers to overwhelmingly care about the characters to the point that one is able to love the story despite any apparent flaw.
Blood Trinity's only negative against it deals with the fact that it's somewhat confusing. There are so many different types of species of characters, different powers and cultures that didn't feel truly explained. However, I'm completely confident such will be extrapolated upon at a later date in subsequent novels. This is, after all, the first book in a new series. Diana and Sherri will no doubt clear the air on any confusing issues remaining over what exactly Beladors and Altarants are and from where they derive.
Still, despite this one flaw, this book was so entertaining! I'm left completely enthralled with this story and am thrilled about the next book. I adore the fact that this is a continuing story, which is very surprising since I'm not that big a fan of extrapolated story-lines. The series is absolutely going to be amazing, for there are so many plot lines, characters, and emotions left unexplored! Vyan, Sen, Isak, Storm - Feenix, Evalle, Quinn, Tzader - the list of awesome people in this book is truly endless!
Books that are so entertaining are truly downright impossible to review. Having been so caught up with the story and characters, it's so difficult to separate my consciousness from the book and evaluate it without a lot of apparent hyperbole. But who cares! I loved the book, I loved the story, and that's all that matters!

Aw, thanks girls! *Hugs!*It isn't the best review I've written, simply because this book was hard to review for me. Weird, I know, since I loved it. I'll look forward to reading y'alls reviews on this book when you get to it :).
Sometimes it's really hard to review a book even though you love it, and sometimes because you love it ;) I find myself not being able to find the right words to describe a book that I loved, it's tough :D
Exactly! For books that I either really hate or really enjoy, I have no problem analyzing the aspects of the book that allowed my reaction.But, for books that grabbed me by the shirt collar and didn't let go, it's the opposite. I was so involved with the story, character, and plot events that I wasn't able to reflect on the individual aspects to the story throughout. As such, the book became real for me, and the characters were no longer "characters," but people. Picking apart the technical issues is downright impossible at that point, you know?
I KNOW!! :) You're so right. For the ones that I fall in love with, I always think I hadn't done enough justice to :)
LOL Glad I'm not the only one!!! :)By the way, are you on Facebook hon? I'm trying to add everyone on our Smuttastic Coven group on mine - not trying to be stalkerish, I promise! :)
Oh, you're so not the only one ;)LOL! I might actually be the only person who's not on facebook. I used to have one ages ago but then I never used it so deleted it. One of these days I might be tempted to open one up again and if I do, you guys are the first ones I'd add to my friends!
Yay for stalking! Laurie darling! - I totally was having a conversation with Leah (somewhere around here, can't remember where) about trying to find you on Facebook! I searched the name she gave and couldn't :(. LOL Of course she said to go to her profile and add you from there, but she hadn't accepted my friend request yet and so I couldn't access it. I so badly am dying to get all you girls added! :)
LOL Ironically, Gokce, until very recently I didn't use my Facebook either. However, now I tend to use it quite often - if you are ever the least bit tempted, PLEASE get a Facebook account so I can add you, too! :) I'd love to chat with ya on there as well as on goodreads :).
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?i...my profile is private, so if that still doesn't work, send me your link and I'll
Lol, you guys! If I'm tempted, you're all to blame and if I do get my account, I'm so stalking you all and poke you around :P -is there poking on facebook? I thought there was something like that somewhere, urgh, I'm such a social network site virgin! :P
