I really do believe this is the Best Book Ever so far!!! There is brilliance in every word written in this book. The attention to detail makes this book so great. The characters are amazing. I am so proud of Rosie. I love that she scares Kellareal. I feel like I am reading about my immediate family and friends. I do feel a little like I was left me hanging a bit, BUT, I also believe this needed to be left that way. I cant wait for The War Cry!!! Lyric has me nervous as to which way he will go. I ...more

The twins are so night and day, I love it. It's amazing how one's life can go from worse to the best ever in a matter of moments and then be 'snatched' just as fast. I will always love Deliverance and to get more insight into him was absolutely amazing but Finngarick's story is beyond amazing and well he is an elf so there's that. ...more

What a delight to finally get another book about Black Swan. It may be the next generation but many of the old gang are also involved. Danann writes with absolutely the best characters and stories. Not sure how or why she can come up with so many twists and turns but I am sure glad she does. The conversations are written with quick wit and sometimes funny, too. Her world building continues to be first rate. There are only a select few authors that I read that can make me quit whatever I am doing ...more

Finngarick is the second book in the new series Order of the Black Swan, D.I.T.

We meet some exciting new characters and welcome our old favorites. Sir Torn Finngarrick's life is told, and he is recommended to Rosie, by her husband to be on the new team.

This.Book. WOW! Ms. Danann has once again crafted a tale that draws you in and makes you feel as if you are right there in the story not just reading it. We get re-introduced to Torrent Finngarick and learn more about his early years with Black Swan. And Rosie is such a delight in this book! Funny and irreverent in her dealings with Simon, unafraid to admit to her new assistant Greeves (yes that Greeves) that she might just be a bit overwhelmed and uncertain how to proceed. The twists and turns ...more

I really enjoyed reading this amazing story. I could way lyrical about it, but I don’t want to spoil the story.
The D.I.T is now getting started, and it is up to the lovely Rosie to recruit & get things organised, it was lovely to see her blossom in the role once again.
I found myself laughing a lot more in this book at the interactions between Rosie & pretty much everyone especially poor Grieve.
I absolutely love meeting & getting to know new members of the Black Swan family and with this book & t ...more

I am running out of words to praise this series. to start with I will have to repeat myself. This book can stand alone. However, the whole series is such a joy to read, why not experience the whole thing? Victoria Danann is a gifted story teller. Her world building is excellent. I love spending time in her universe and with the complex and amazing characters she has created. I don't think I will ever tire of reading this series.

In this book, we revisit many of the characters we have come to love I am running out of words to praise this series. to start with I will have to repeat myself. This book can stand alone.

I love spending time in her universe and with the complex and amazing characters she has created. I don't think I will ever tire of reading this series.

In this book, we revisit many of the characters we have come to love as Rosie is busy putting together the new Department of Interdimensional Trespass (D.I.T.). When she accepted the position, she hadn't considered all the problems -- physical, financial, and ethical. She does get help from some old friends like Elora, Ram, and of course, her husband, Glen. Luckily she also gets Grieve as her personal assistant. Grieve seems to be able to work miracles. I definitely need a Grieve in my life. Some of the issues she faces are very topical. I actually cringed when Rosie suggested tagging everyone entering from another dimension. It seemed an easy solution, but the unethical ramifications of such a policy were soon pointed out to her. Not all who cross into different realms are seeking to do harm. In fact, most are quiet peaceful. D.I.T. must be very sure they only target those who are truly dangerous such as those that came after Elora in what was called the Battle for Jefferson Unit.

We have met the red haired elf Sir Finngarick (Torn) in some of the other stories. He was the bad boy leader of the bad boy Z Team. The Z Team is a thing of the past. Torn is trying to repair his bad reputation. He is especially eager to atone for his disgrace during the Battle for Jefferson Unit. At her husband's suggestion, Rosie gives Torn another chance. We begin to see another side of Torn both from Glen's point of view and his actions with the D.I.T. He does want to change. Of course, his new partner has a lot to do with that as well.

We also meet some intriguing new characters. The O'Malley twins Shivaun and Sheridan come recommended by Ram. The two women are elves who have lived in an secluded forest in Ireland that has rejected all modern technology. They not only have to adapt to the new training and discipline of the D.I.T. but to the wonders and horrors of the 21st Century. Their expertise is with the bow and arrow. I look forward to spending more time with them.

There is romance, humour, and adventure. I enjoyed learning the back story of some of the characters. The introduction of the D.I.T. infuses more excitement into an already wonderful series. This one does end in a cliff hanger of sorts, but we do get to visit with old friends Deliverance and Kellareal and the next book is coming out on 31 October. What a great way to celebrate Samhain.

I loved the length of the book and having all the details about how Rosie is developing her program. I'm a big Rosie fan. I also love her relationship with Glen and am looking forward to discovering more about how his werewolf side seems to be showing up more now. I was admittedly worried that while I read the back story about Torn's childhood, I didn't feel like I knew him well. Then there's Sher, who went from being feral to being in a committed relationship in a very brief amount of time. Of ...more

Second book of the series. The book took me a few chapters to get into it and understand who the narrator. Once I caught on I really got to enjoy the banter that is thrown around between the characters. It is interesting watching a new Black Swan group being formed. And well, Finngarek is in for quite a surprise as the group is formed. Some action and lots of tension between some characters. Overall a fun paranormal romance read.

I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of the book.

It was so nice to have the feel of going back home to visit old friends. Victoria again does the perfect mix of old and new characters with a fantastic story that keeps you riding the emotional roller coaster. I am still in love with her Black Swan Knights! She about killed me with the ending that left me yelling out loud. I need the next book now!

I was pleased to be able to read and review this book. The one thing I didn't care for was that it ended up on a cliffhanger, but even though it did you still want to pick up the next one just to find out what happens to Shy (Sheridan) and him. Ms Danann writes with the ability to create a world that you want to jump into and stay. ...more

The only problem I have with this author is that all of my characters are my favorite. Every time a new book comes out a character I already liked turn in to my favorite. How can this be lol however this book was so unexpected as some you think will just be alone!! Nope.

In typical Victoria Dannan style, you read the blurb and you think you know what's going to happen in the story and then the next minute, you're half way through the book realizing that the story is heading in a totally unexpected direction - I love this about Victoria's books, she always keeps you guessing and that is keeps you enthralled, turning those pages and losing sleep! D.I.T. keeps us in the Black Swan feel of things and I loved spending time with Glen and Rosie again reminding me of po ...more

So entertaining! I read it in a day. If you have read any of the Knights of Black Swan books and need your fix, you will relish seeing some old favorites. Reading Finngarick, you will get new favorite characters. If you haven't read any of the Knights of Black Swan and are new to these books, this book is also a stand alone book. Warning! Once you read this book your addiction will start and you will want to read all of the preceding books. ...more

Very enthralling
Loved the story. Written as coming from the perspective of Glendennon Catch and his Memoirs.
This is the second Black Swan, DIT book but it does end on a bit of a cliffhanger. For the most part, all the books are self-contained but I really am looking forward to reading the next book. Well written and an awesome read. I highly recommend.
