Into the Dark Lands

Summary: A WONDERFUL COMBINATION OF ROMANCE AND SCIENCE FICTION!!!
Review: An all nighter book, one you couldn't put down. Michele Sagara put down on print the ultimate fantasy of a love story that anyone ever had. The story tells of how love can conquer everything. I've read this book several years before, yet I still want to read it again and again. I passed out this book to a lot of my friends and they all loved it!

Summary: What a great book 4 & 1/2 stars
Review: I found this book in a used book store years ago, and I am so glad I picked it up! It started off rather slow, but as soon as Erin meets the First Servant of the Dark Lord it became such an unsually compelling love story. Most of the book is a dark and rather tragic romance between Erin and Lord Stefanos. They can't help but be both repelled and fascinated by the conflicting nature of the other, as they find themselves compromising what they've always believed in to be together. It took me years to finish the series because books 3 and 4 are so expensive, but if you can get your hands on them, I recommend all four- they don't disappoint. These are the types of books you can't let go of even days after you finish the last page.

Summary: Dark and beautiful
Review: Michelle Sagara's Sundered series opens like a night flower in this dark, stirring story of light and dark, love and blood and tears. This is an enthralling romantic fantasy, grim yet beautiful, in its characterization and mood setting. In the tale, the strong-willed and courageous Erin exchanges her life for that of her people, bargaining it away to her fated enemy, the Dark Lord Stefanos. Yet he gets much more than he bargained for when the two of them fall in love, a forbidden union of light and shadow. The portrayal of the two central characters is amazing and moving. The chemistry between them is evident and touching. The best romance I'd ever come across.

Summary: Wow
Review: Starts out like your average Heroine of the Light vs. the Dark fantasy novel, but when the anti-hero appears the story will reach out and grab you by the throat and not let up until the end. So intense in places I thought my heart would stop. Warning: this is NOT your average romance. Get all four books before you start or you'll be risking your sanity.

Summary: Compelling Romantic Fantasy
Review: The story is a little hard to get into. The intro which describes the world and conflict between light and dark is rather confusing and not very interesting. However, the second half is very powerful. Once I hit that point, I couldn't put it down. The relationship and conflict between the two main characters, one light and one dark, is quite good. Though we often equate dark with evil, this one makes you stop and think. I also recommend the second book of the series, which takes off much faster. Now I wish I could find books 3 and 4 at a reasonable price. I want to know how the story ends.

Summary: Fantastic!
Review: This book (actually, the entire series) is incredible. When I started reading it, it seemed utterly dead- "Unending war between ultimate good and ultimate evil, same old same old". After a few chapters, however, it changed. The plot skipped off the old beated track, and went galloping across the hill, into new unexplored areas of amazingly original territory. Get all four books, and enjoy the ride!
