Steelflower

Steelflower (Steelflower Chronicles, Book 1) Really liked this book. My sister told me about this book and I concur this book is very well written. Not your usual elfin story. This book has a lot of depth. The Elfin language was some what different but still interesting. We're really looking forward to the 2nd book to be published.

vampire book

I enjoyed this book very much..more than i expected considering it was about supernatural beings...well written, fast read...great...

WORTH A READ

I don't know about anyone else but I think this was one of her earlier manuscripts unearthed due to the popularity of her current books. It doesn't have the sophistication of the Dante and Kismet books. Still has the "heroine in turmoil with herself" but nothing else is remotely the same. Worth buying and hoping that the sequel will be something she wrote recently.

not what i expected

I bought this on a lark when looking for something to read while out of town not expecting too much. I must say I was pleasantly surprised! The book is narrated by the protagonist; an outcast elf cast adrift in a hostile world. The females of her race are gifted with Power and are "twinned" with a male partner. Kaia was born without Power and has made her way as a mercenary, thief, assassin or a combination thereof. Things get sticky when she picks the wrong pocket... The story kept my interest and I polished it off in record time! The story moves along briskly with nary a lag while finishing up the plot. Some weaknesses exist however; there are too many confusing terms presented in the "elvish" language, the culture is ill defined in the beginning, but does eventually get developed. There looks to be more in this series and I look forward to reading them despite some minor drawbacks.
