3.5 stars This is book 10 in an ongoing series, so really not the place to start. The first book in the series is Angels’ Blood. This review will contain some spoilers for that book. Holly Chang, who for a while renamed herself Sorrow, was the only survivor of the terrible carnage perpetrated when the archangel Uram went crazy and kidnapped her and all her friends and proceeded to torture and kill most of them. He forced Holly not only to drink his blood, but to watch […]

Spoiler warning! This is the third and final book in the Folk of the Air trilogy. Don’t read this review if you haven’t read the previous two book, it’s impossible to review the story without mentioning events from earlier. If you want to start the series at the beginning (since the series is completed now), The Cruel Prince is the first book. Official book description: “He will be destruction of the crown and the ruination of the throne.” Power is much easier to acquire than it is to hold onto. […]
