The series has definitely matured since it first began five books ago and I've loved being a part of it and seeing the writing, the plot and the characters all mature to the point that we're at now.
It had been a little while since I read a Legend of Rhyme book and I love that there is both a character guide to help bring you back up to speed AND there are lovely little rhymes at the beginning of each 'story' to remind you of what has happened previously.

Wow what a mouth watering book. I've actually read the whole series and its been such a fun adventure for me. I highly recommend the legend of rhyme series for anyone out there who loves reading like me. Its hard at night before I go to bed to stop reading cause I always want to find out, what will happen next at the end of every chapter. Thank you Jaime lee for the fascinating series I'm definitely buying the 6th book when it releases:)

This was not my favourite book in the Legends of Rhyme series, but it neatly tied up a number of threads from the preceding four books, and set things up well for the coming sequel.
The book is divided into four short stories, each of which starts with a poem of rhyming couplets which introduce the story, and lay out some of the back history.
The first story revolves around Elora and Asher. The overarching theme here is the nature of evil. Are people born evil? If someone is told they are evil, ...more

I feel like Blood and Stars is Mann's best - and strongest - work so far. It In this book, we are introduced to the realms within the oceans, to fascinating new characters, and despite the characters being separated by time and space and worlds, Mann impressively manages to bring them back together to wrap up this arc in a satisfying manner.
Overall, Teagan's arc felt the most developed in terms of plot and characters. In comparison, Asher's arc felt the weakest and least feasible, whereas Elor ...more

This is the fifth book in a series, Legend of Rhyme. As it is aimed at readers between 12 and 16, I had one of our middle school students read this and provide his thoughts. He did not read the first four books, although one of his fellow peers has read them. He felt a bit confused with some of the happenings which I contribute to having not read the previous installments. The writing is good, with only a few typos, and age appropriate and the characters seem realistic and relatable. He did find

Once again I read Jaime Lee Mann in one day, in one sitting. The stories she writes are so engaging!
This one covers the continuing adventures of the Caine children.
It is usual with this series to flick back and forth between the main characters to keep the time line development in sync for the reader, as this book is no exception.

Ariana has woken in Coraira. She can't decide if she should try to find her brother or learn how to rule. What will she do? Meanwhile Teagan is taken to the Chamber of Memories by the mer-queen. Teagan hopes to learn more about her parents. I don't want to spoil this last story as I am assuming that you too have read the previous books. I do want to say that there are characters added with a background as to how they fit in the story. The characters continued to be spell me as I read it today. D

Praise Jaime Lee Mann!
This is the fifth installment in the series, and although it could be read as a standalone, this series should be read in order.
The writing style is clear and engaging. We can see how the story develops from the first book to this one, like a child's mind, we get the base of the story with great unforgettable characters and an epic plot, that will develop into something more complex after each installment.

I enjoyed Blood and Stars better than the last two. The story lines, although interweaving as before, didn't get me as tangled up and I easily understood where everyone was. The poetic interludes that gave subtle recaps helped immensely. When we read the series in class, students still tend to struggle a bit with all the various characters and their shifting allegiances. I wonder if the little poems will help this as well. Often we have to map out where everyone is and what they are doing. It's

*Honest review for Arc*
I have followed this book series from the very beginning, each story developing the characters I have learned to love and expanding this new immersive world with each adventure. You root for the good while hoping the bad changes their hearts, you love the adventures while hoping there will be another, and you laugh at the antics of a pair of mischievous pixies! Continue this series please!!!

I really enjoyed myself in this book. The story just pulls you in and only lets you go because either you finished the book or you have to take care of your primary needs (like food or sleep). Because these books aren’t too long, you can just read them in one sitting and you can also start with this book in this world because there is a guide in the back, but I would recomm ...more

Blood and Stars is the fifth book in Jaime Lee Mann’s Legend of Rhyme series. It continues Ariana and Asher’s story started in the first book but also expands the universe out to follow multiple other story-lines, each one connected but not necessarily in the same time period. As such, it reads very much like a collection of short stories, before bringing them together in the finale. This format works particular ...more

Blood and Stars is the best from the Legends of Rhyme series so far. The author’s writing ability has gone up a notch.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Considering this is children’s fiction events take quite a dark turn.
Blood and Stars is a bit more complex than the other books in the series and all the more enjoyable.
There are a few different storylines in the books that gradually converge into one and different narrative vi ...more
