Rating: Summary: Beath of Magic Review: Breath of magic was an exellent book. Being the first I have read by Teresa Medeiros I found it to be very enchanting. The role of Arien Whitewood potrayed a very confuzed girl.I found my self never wanting to put the book down. Tristan Lennox was a cold hearted "billionaire boy" seemed to have some very big mental problems . How can you not believe anyone who trys to electricute themselfs, doesn't know what a phone is and thinks that a heliichopter is a dragon. Not even the best of con-artists can do that and get away with the look of absolute fear.
Rating: Summary: Realistic? No. Fun? Yes. Review: I wouldn't recommend this book to the serious reader who takes her history and plot seriously. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a romp through a magical romance.There were plot holes, a few inconceivable revelations and occurrences, but I didn't care because I was having so much fun with Arian and Tristan's story. I feel like I would be giving away the plot to discuss the things I liked, so I'll suffice it to say that I stayed up til 5am finishing this one and I giggled all the way.
Rating: Summary: One word; wow! Review: I read the series backwards; first I read "Touch of Enchantment" and then "Breath of Magic," but it didn't really matter in what order they were read. At first I was a little wary about picking this book up because of the not so positive reviews I had seen. However, I disagree, this is a wonderfully imaginative and captivating novel. Furthermore this novel can be viewed in a much broader context than cheesy romance. I've just finished reading "A Room With a View" and "Satanic Verses" and am feeling philisophical and completely inspired by everything I read. This novel has the common theme of good versus evil with Tristan Lennox and Arthur Finch, also known as Reverend Linnet. Tristan reminds me of Neo from "the Matrix" as the "christ" that liberates mankind; "free your mind!" Actually I think I'm getting a little carried away; the other major theme is that Arian Whitewood makes the transition from holier than thou "Puritan" to a free-love girl. Just like "Touch of Enchantment," there were parts in this novel that made me crack up. Hmmm...I was reading it in the bookstore and I'm sure that some people wondered what I was reading? Just a piece of advice for those who read romance; this is purely fiction and a lot of impossible things can happen because of the genre, so when I read romance I try to concentrate on the emotions that develope, not the storyline:)...because we all know that witches don't exist?
Rating: Summary: not as good as her others Review: When I got this book, and its sequel, Touch of Enchantment, I was sure I would really love them. I didn't at all. The book just really fell flat. To the reader who said she would not try anything by her, I wanted to say please don't give up on her ! I recommend A Whisper of Roses very highly, I would never give that book up, never!
Rating: Summary: Breath of Magic Review: This was the first book I read by Mrs. Medeiros, I was unable to put it down, I read it in two days and have read every book since. She makes her heriones strong and spunky you'll find yourself laughing out loud. The story lines are amazing. And the love scenes are steamy and intense. I highly recommend all of her books, you won't be disappointed.
Rating: Summary: Magically Delicious Review: This book was the best! I have never laughed so hard in my life. Tristian's cynical personality and Arian's innocence was a really good mix. I really liked how the author combined the scientificc with the supernatural.This most definitely is one of my most favorite and specical books.
Rating: Summary: Delightful! Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was comical, enchanting, somewhat original and romantic. The ending was a little too far fetched for me but it was a nice way to wrap up a cute tale!
Rating: Summary: A Gem of a book!!!! Review: It is so hard to find a novel that includes so many different facets. I am so pleased that I finally found one. Breath of Magic is a wonderful tale filled with romance, intrigue, humor and of course...magic. Every chapter is a delight and you will fall in love with all the characters. This is a keeper
Rating: Summary: Breath Of Magic Review: awesome book,made me laugh and made me cry,its a book worth reading over and over.
Rating: Summary: You have got to be kidding! Review: Although I found the story idea interesting , the characters were extremely flat (no substance, what-so-ever). You never feel anything for anybody in the novel....alright, maybe a very mild irriation at Sven for being the typical brawns-without-a-brain character. The humor at most made me smile but never truly touched any chord. I gave this novel three stars because it was a good attempt at....well...something. Hopefully Ms. Medeiros's other novels will be more interesting.
