Subject: The Fading Lands books

Soooo I've been a complete and utter slacker lately about posting, reading and even getting three bloody minutes to sit and do something I wanted to without interuption (sigh). Sorry to have been so absent. I do like the wallpaper and even as I voted for my lovely Hercules, knew to the bottom of my toes that the Highlander would win.

I commented a bit down the board somewhere about a particular book that was due out in late October by CL Wilson not being on the list of upcoming books and Beaty said she had not realised it was a series to note.

Boy, is it ever. The first book is Lord of the Fading Lands, followed by Lady of Light and Shadow, King of Sword and Sky and (just released) Queen of Song and Souls. Now these names are just terrible to remember, so I think it is easier to remember the authors name. What is it with all these long winded, sort of the same sounding book titles lately. The other series that I have immense trouble remembering the titles are the Kresley Cole ones.

Anywho, despite the nutty, hard to remember titles, the books are wonderfully rich and gorgeous to read. The story does not finish in each individual book, but sort of like KMM's fever books has a big storyline that is taking a few books to finish. The main couple are Ellysetta and Rain and if you like fantasy type romance (think Warprize) stories these are for you. Rain Tairen Soul is the king of the Fey and the only Tairen Soul left who can change into the mythical Tairen (large catlike creature). We have evil Eld mages causing trouble, fated mates that don't necessarily have an easy time getting with the program and a huge mini-Tolkien type world to caper around. I like that there is a plot, you can sort of see where we're going, but not quite sure how it's going to work, lots of twists and turns and people with foibles and worries, not perfection everywhere. It's not as dark as the Anne Bishop Blood Jewels books, but has that sort of richness in the writing and more developed worldview.

Try them if this is the sort of book you love.
