Summary: Not as good
Review: Juliet's writing is exceptional, and I am taken into her world immediately and always. Unfortunantely, the characters are not as interesting, and I do not have any feelings for them. To me, they are simply a story, and not as real as Liadan or Sorcha's stories. I do not think I would read this book if it were not the conclusion to the great first two books.

Summary: Child of the prophecy
Review: To me, Child of the Prophecy was a little more interesting than Son of Shadows. I also like how this book focuses on the perspective of the more evil characters. Then there were some parts that were tedious, which involved the same despisable, annoying characters mentioned in Son of Shadows. I also did not like the ending; I feel that there could have been some other alternative (although, I don't know if it would've produced good results). The ending was kind of hasty and it just didn't fit well with the trilogy, which started off with a retelling of the Six Swans. This is the very reason why I'm not inclined to read books that have more than one sequel; they usually never pull off. On the good side, Fainne was a very unique, interesting character. Yes, she does experience some inner conflicts, but it's great how she manages to find solutions by the end. I'd definitely recommend fantasy lovers to read this series though. The words are well-crafted and at times moving.
