February 16, 2009: Faith Hunter takes everything we believe about the apocalypse an the end of the world and destroys it. In this universe the world didn't end - it entered an ice age in which Seraphs and demons and mages populate the earth. Thorn is a mage in hiding who must defeat the forces of evil (as cliche as it sounds) while staying hidden in the throng of humans. I read this book in a day and it left me wanting more. The action is non-stop. You'll want to loan this all of your friends! NOTE: This is the second book - read Bloodring first! You will miss a lot if the books are read out of order.
I Also Recommend: Way of the Wolf (Vampire Earth Series #1), Bloodring (Rogue Mage Series #1), Host (Rogue Mage Series #3).

February 16, 2009:
This is the last book of a trilogy. I loved this series, the approach to a possible post apocalyptic world was unique and mentally engaging. The author has done a good job of character development without boring us with too many details of the aspects of their lives that don?t pertain to the story.
This being said I felt that this book was rushed. Almost as if the author wanted to simply spill it all out and get the project over with so that she could work on something else. The plot had been building over the first 2 books and continued to do so for the first hundred or so pages of this one. Then suddenly it was as if the story was put on fast forward. There was easily enough material to take a 4th book to wrap up all of the story, or at the very least add another 100 pages to this book.
She still did a good job over all but a lot of questions were not answered and a lot of details seemed to get lost in the process. Hopefully there will be more books from this world which seems a very good setting for more great stories.
