Ok, it's been awhile, but with graduation and trying to get my life in order, seems understandable. Since I blogged about Anne Bishop last time I felt compelled to read the other trilogy she's written. Now I'm reviewing it...

The Tir Alainn Trilogy by Anne Bishop - In the land of Sylvalan an evil has invaded its borders in the form of Adolfo, Master Inquisitor and Witch's Hammer. Having instigated a major witch hunt, innocent women are being slaughtered everywhere and as a result the world of the Fae, called Tir Alainn (the fair land), suffers. The main plot chronicles the story of a young and lonely witch names Ari, who finds herself the object of attentions from Lucian, the lightbringer and male leader of the fae, her handsome and shy neighbor Neal, and the inquisitors, who threaten Ari, her way of life, and witches all over. Over the course of three books, the story chronicles the efforts of a handful of fae, witches, and magical forces who unite to try to stop a dark, twisted evil and save their races from extinction. This is just a very brief, and not even thorough, summary - so much more actually happens than I can transcribe in just this review, but for all those who want to give it a shot I think you'll find the effort well worth it - although this is no where near as freaking awesome as the Black Jewels Trilogy. Enjoy!
