Good to know that I might find what I am looking for in <i>Dreams Made Flesh</i>. I will definitely look into it. I will also read both Renee and Amy's websites. Thanks for the info!<br /><br />Nath, Yes, exactly, all the sudden Lucivar is married with a toddler! How did that happen? I will definitely read <i>Dreams Made Flesh</i>!<br /><br />Hey Amanda, Hah - good descriptor of "romance reading glasses" Yes we do expect certain things and it is hard to get away from them. I will check out your blog! Thanks for the heads up.<br /><br />Kate, I know what you mean, which is why when I review anything outside of romance, I will always let you know what to expect in terms of the romance of the story. After all, as a romance reader, that is the most important aspect, right?!Jill D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10994157783980931093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507212620890978766.post-45128604463521732822009-06-07T13:16:40.933-04:002009-06-07T13:16:40.933-04:00I used to love fantasy, but I'm worried to pic...I used to love fantasy, but I'm worried to pick it up again. I'm such a genre reader now.

Daemon and Jaenelle's relationship continues in bits and pieces in most of the following books and unfolds wonderfully. I'm interested to see how the new relationships work themselves out in her new trilogy, the first book is The Shadow Queen which was released in March 2009. If you're interested, many of her books are listed in the review archive on my blog. <br /><br />Happy Reading!~ AmandaBob & Muffintophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12517851052183148808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507212620890978766.post-28824944005975175602009-06-06T19:46:20.218-04:002009-06-06T19:46:20.218-04:00Hey Jill :)

Like Leontine says, it also fills some gap (eg: how Lucivar got a wife!) :)<br /><br />I've reviewed both Tangled Webs and Queen of Shavalar over at Breezing Through. Feel free to drop by and read the reviews :) Basically, Tangled Webs is kind of an extended novella - you get an update on all the characters and there's a story with Surreal.<br /><br />Queen of Shavalar is basically a new trilogy, but our dear characters such as Daemon, Lucivar and Saetan do make some very important appearances.nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507212620890978766.post-80502479886025788502009-06-06T12:36:22.656-04:002009-06-06T12:36:22.656-04:00Hi Jill,

It gives a romantic story on Lucivar, it fills the gap I found in QoyD and the story of Daemon and Jaenelle is concluded very nicely IMO. <br /><br />Also, I have just met two blog gals, Renee of Renee's Book Additction and AmyC of Book Wyrm who did a combined post on The Shadow Queen and perhaps on their blogs you can find more info.<br /><br />http://reneesbookaddiction.wordpress.com/<br /><br />http://romancebookwyrm.blogspot.com/ <br /><br />Hope this helps a bit.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />LeontineLeontinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11772385054579881436noreply@blogger.com
