Oh my god! I have a 14 month old son and I just finished a 482 in one day. If you haven’t figured it out yet, I could not put this novel down. Heir to the Shadows, the second novel in Anne Bishop’s Black Jewels trilogy, was amazing. There wasn’t as many romantic elements in this novel, but they weren’t needed. The fantasy elements were dead on and never seemed far-fetched. As it was the second novel in the trilogy, it continued to build the atmosphere, the characters, and even the interactions between the villains and the heroes. The ending to Heir to the Shadows was definitely a catalyst for the final novel, Queen of the Darkness.
This trilogy/series has yet to disappoint me and it continually sucks me in. The vivid descriptive imagery leaves the mind with more pictures and more sensations that have trouble turning off when the novel is put down. The more into her novels I get, the more I kick myself for not reading Anne Bishop before. If you’re still unsure about this author, and you like the Weiss & Hickman Dragonlance novels, then you need to pick these books up. While I’m a fan of Weiss & Hickman, Bishop does such a tremendous job that she far surpasses them in my mind.
