Series: Dark Swan
by Author Richelle Mead
Reine des ronces (2010)
I am becoming a big fan of this series. The characters are frustratingly realistic- which is a good thing. I kind of hate the way the main character goes about things, but I can also understand her reasons and motivation- therefore frustratingly realistic. My only complaint is how predictable the...
Fille de l'orage (2010)
Recently, I watched the movie “This is the End”. At first, I was laughing and enjoying the movie. But soon I was asking “why did I think this would be fun?” I had the same experience with this book. At first it’s about a woman who gives rouge paranormals serious beat downs. Suddenly it’s a romanc...
Feenkrieg (2011)
I kept hoping that Eugenie would get a clue....wise up a bit, stop avoiding her issues. Not sure it will happen. I love a good flawed character, but only if they work through it. Avoidance (among others -trust, self-reliance, power, responsibility) is a tough one, no doubt, but her moments of ...
Le sacre de fer (2011)

I didn't start feeling that way until.... Eugenie did something that pissed me off and after that it started with the dragging...
Thorn Queen (2009)

Mead intricately wove the concept of duality through out the entire tale and because this is the 2nd book of the series it (at l...
Storm Born (2008)
It was funny, I totally digged that! The main protagonist, Odile (that name sounds cooler) was quite frustrating most of the time. I mean she makes herself sound like a badass, but is constantly being saved! Sure she can take a hit, but can't she get a moment to feel utterly helpless with no help...
Iron Crowned (2011)
Loved it! By now, I am hooked on this series, and regretting that after this one, there is only one more book to read. Eugenie is a brilliant character, and the more I read, the more I find myself loving her. By far her best counterpart in this book is Dorian. Even through his manipulation, you c...
