Narrative During Books The Black Jewels Trilogy: Daughter of the Blood, Heir to the Shadows, Queen of the Darkness (The Black Jewels #1-3)
Seven hundred years ago, a Black Widow witch saw an ancient prophecy come to life in her web of dreams and visions. Now the Dark Kingdom readies itself for the arrival of its Queen, a Witch who will wield more power than even the High Lord of Hell himself. But she is still young, still open to influence--and corruption. Whoever controls the Queen controls the darkness. Three men--sworn enemies--know this. And they know the power that hides behind the blue eyes of an innocent young girl. And so begins a ruthless game of politics and intrigue, magic and betrayal, where the weapons are hate and love--and the prize could be terrible beyond imagining... --back coverRating Of Books The Black Jewels Trilogy: Daughter of the Blood, Heir to the Shadows, Queen of the Darkness (The Black Jewels #1-3)

I feel it incumbent upon me to note that my rating reflects how much I enjoyed a book, not how good it was. I love this trilogy like little else, but the reasons that I love it have little to do with coherency of plot or style or character development and everything to do with talking unicorns (!!) and awesome naming conventions and INCREDIBLE FEATS OF OUTRAGEOUSLY OVERPOWERED MAGIC.Another book taking up valuable space on my shelf. You want dark, slightly sadistic sex scenes? All yours. You want convoluted names that will make your eyes bleed? Check. You want part of your life back after suffering through this? Sorry, it's gone.Other people have liked this, obviously, as the writing is not terrible and it has its good points, but they are either lost on me or I'm too numb to mention them.Not to my liking but hopefully the library is in need of a copy.
Congratulations, Ms. Bishop! You've hit the top and wrote the sickest shit I've ever had to read. Really. The book is a pain full of rape and pedophilia. At the beginning, I thought there would be an actually interesting story with world building and a magic system, but I realized Bishop likely had the basic ideas for the plot and never bothered to explore and expland them since she completely lost her thread in rape porn. Rape, forced angst and inconsential banter scenes between Bishop's
Oh, I think is my very favorite fantasy series - if not my very favorite set of books altogether! I just love it so much! It still makes me laugh and cry even after all these years of re-reading it! It is such a darkly beautiful story. And I am looking forward to the newest addition, though I have a bit more re-reading to do before I will be reading that! As for this omnibus edition itself, this was my first time reading it here and I must say, it had one major plus of containing the whole
I go to bed extremely early, but I stayed wide awake last night finishing the last half of Heir to the Shadows and the entirety of Queen of the Darkness. I wouldn't call this book inspiring literature, but I love a good story, and this was one hell of a story! For all of her writing faults (I grew very tired of the bitten lip drawing blood to keep the anger/laughter/pleasure/embarassment hidden, and if any of the characters snarled once, they snarled a million times...a thesaurus may have come
I feel awful for not really thinking this trilogy is anywhere near decent, seeing as it's one of my best friend's favourite books ever, and that she was the one who gave it to me, no less.But I can't help it. The Black Jewels Trilogy is basically a Mary Sue fanfic that got lucky.There are some good things going for it -- the storytelling device of never having any of the events shown through the protagonist's eyes is truly fascinating. The world-building and magical system that Bishop has in
Another one probably best read as a teenager (although there is some pretty dark sexual stuff in here). The lower rating is mostly because the writing isn't terribly good (and the characters' names made me roll my eyes every time I read them...which was a lot). There's a lot of buzz around the supposed reversal in traditional gender roles in this book, but it comes off more like an exercise from a "Women's Studies 101" course at a community college. That is to say, there's not a lot of thought
