Narration Supposing Books The Black Jewels Trilogy: Daughter of the Blood, Heir to the Shadows, Queen of the Darkness (The Black Jewels #1-3)
Seven hundred years ago, a Black Widow witch saw an ancient prophecy come to life in her web of dreams and visions. Now the Dark Kingdom readies itself for the arrival of its Queen, a Witch who will wield more power than even the High Lord of Hell himself. But she is still young, still open to influence--and corruption. Whoever controls the Queen controls the darkness. Three men--sworn enemies--know this. And they know the power that hides behind the blue eyes of an innocent young girl. And so begins a ruthless game of politics and intrigue, magic and betrayal, where the weapons are hate and love--and the prize could be terrible beyond imagining... --back coverRating Appertaining To Books The Black Jewels Trilogy: Daughter of the Blood, Heir to the Shadows, Queen of the Darkness (The Black Jewels #1-3)

Oh, I think is my very favorite fantasy series - if not my very favorite set of books altogether! I just love it so much! It still makes me laugh and cry even after all these years of re-reading it! It is such a darkly beautiful story. And I am looking forward to the newest addition, though I have a bit more re-reading to do before I will be reading that! As for this omnibus edition itself, this was my first time reading it here and I must say, it had one major plus of containing the wholeUpdate June 2012: I just had to re-read this amazing series and found myself buying all three books for the Nook because I needed my Black Jewels fix! I see why when I first read it back in 2009 why I needed a lot of caffeine because of staying up to finish them. This is such an incredible world to get lost in with characters who remained with me long after the last page is turned.So many wonderful themes in this series--love and loss, forgiveness, betrayal, laughter and the power of dreams to
My brain melted, and not in a good way "Have you read this?" a colleague asked recently, "It's so wonderful!" It so happened I had read the Black Jewels Trilogy, long ago. I remembered it as a Masterpiece of Unremittingly Awful. Could it be as bad as all that? Surely not. Oh wait. It was. mindbendingly dreadful on so many levels. The premise is potentially interesting: in a set of interlinked worlds/realms, a power-struggle is growing. In the Realm of Terreille, the Blood -- people with magical
This series kind of drove me batty when I read it and the effect was later emphasized because its fans used words I found very inaccurate to describe it. Specifically, it's not in the least "original" and there is nothing "unique" about the world, the magic system, or the society. Bishop's general schtick here is reversing the aesthetic of fantasy's traditional struggle between good and evil. This is potentially a fun twist, yes. In certain years making your good guys look like bad guys is
These were absolutely wonderful! Daughter of the Blood got off to a slower start from me, but from about midway through that until the end, I was hooked. The rape themes, especially the Briarwood portions in Daughter of the Blood, were pretty tough to get through at times but- that's a dark subject that SHOULD be hard to get through. Bishop's imagination is quite something and once I fully understood the world of magic she built I was enthralled. Definitely a fantasy must-read. Definitely.
I go to bed extremely early, but I stayed wide awake last night finishing the last half of Heir to the Shadows and the entirety of Queen of the Darkness. I wouldn't call this book inspiring literature, but I love a good story, and this was one hell of a story! For all of her writing faults (I grew very tired of the bitten lip drawing blood to keep the anger/laughter/pleasure/embarassment hidden, and if any of the characters snarled once, they snarled a million times...a thesaurus may have come
Black Jewels Trilogy by Anne BishopI have done a review on each of the books in this trilogy. However, if anyone buys the complete set, this is the combined review of all three books.This trilogy is one of my favorite series. I loved this trilogy, the characters we come to love, and the secondary characters and legendary animals, we love almost as much. This is a super trilogy, but the first book, which Bishop introduces us to this world, and to the characters, has a lot of darkness in it. This
