rogue mage saves the day

Bought as a Christmas present for my 21 yr. old daughter because she loves the genre and was not dissappointed by the book. very good!

Wonderful new world!

I picked up Bloodring by a friend's recommendation, and boy am I glad I did. The world Ms. Hunter has created is very unique, and the combination of storyline and complex characters had me burning through the pages like a demon. For those interested in romance, there is not much here. But the story will sweep you up into Thorn's reality. The series gets better and better as it progresses, and I can't wait for more.

Fabulous!

I ordered this book with no expectations at all, knowing nothing at all about the author or what the story was....and I loved it! I read a lot of scifi and fantasy, and this author is my new favorite. I was sucked in from the beginning. Such a great story! So thorough in building the history of the location, so much depth in the characters. If you're into apocaplyse fiction, and enjoy a bit of Old Testament thrown in, you'll love this.

Fantastic series! Highly recommended.

The Thorn series (Bloodring, Seraphs, Host) is HIGHLY recommended. I read all three books in five days over the Christmas holidays! I hope the author will write more soon. These are the best!

Very enjoyable!

I am really impressed. A TOTALLY new idea and very entertaining. I have read all 3 of the books out so far and I cannot wait till the next one. Faith Hunter has created a complex and engaging universe, while her character development allows you to become deeply involved with the storyline. I am a huge fan of Kim Harrison, old L.K. Hamilton and Kenyon. I was skeptical because I normally do not like post-apocalypse stories, but I was really hooked by this one. I HIGHLY recommend it!
