Over at Booknest.eu I posted a review of ‘Den of Wolves,’ third book of the popular Blackthorn and Grim series.
Typically the third book of a trilogy forever sets the tone for how readers will remember the entire series. The first book, say Dreamer’s Pool, is what is responsible for sparking interest in the over reaching plot and (hopefully) major players in the coming story. In many cases this may be a readers introduction to the author as well; life long love may follow from a suitable impressive start. Dreamer’s Pool was indeed a book like this, a beautifully crafted fairy tale that introduced many to Juliet Marillier. Most importantly it introduced readers to Blackthorn and Grim, a duo sure to entertain for books to come….
I own the first two books in this series and am anxious to get to them. I’ll admit I’ve not read anything by this author and it’s the cover which drew me in. I always tend to worry about second books in the series as I have experience with finding them lacking. However, the followups are usually really good. This sounds like a series you enjoyed so now I’m more anxious to start.
