Page 2 of 9 Black Jewels Trilogy by Anne Bishop
Submitted by Amber 
(Mar 15, 2005)This is one of the best trilogies I've ever read, if not the best (on the last book of her other one, not sure if it's better =P). This realm of fantasy is truly captivating, not something you encounter in everyday books. I could not put the books down, and that's rare for me (even though I love reading, I just have a short attention span). So if you're looking for something to read, I highly recommend these books. If fact, go read them anyway, even if you are in the middle of something else =P.

(Jun 20, 2004)I have just finished the three books and I must say that I was enchanted the whole time. Looking back on these reviews, it seems that I am the only guy to have read these books. Nonetheless, the Black Jewels Trilogy was an amazing read. One of my favorite books of all-time. I will admit that at times, I was either on the verge of tears or the tears were actually rolling down my face. I loved so many characters, mainly Daemon, Saetan, and Jaenelle. The ending was beautiful, fans who have read it know what I'm talking about. Bishop needs to write about the events after this series. I need to know more. The ending though wonderful makes me feel very empty right now. Empty in a good way I mean, not that it was crap. I pray that Bishop will continue the tale, even if it's just a short story about Jaenelle and Daemon.

(Apr 18, 2004)The Black Trilogy is stunningly constructed from the palette of legendary myths and mysterious age, where two kingdoms found themselves head-on.
With tactile description and stimulating storyline, your nerves will be high-strung if any contents of this book is left incomplete. The characters are cleverly depicted to sting our conscious and provoke our thoughts in a creative way of preserving the essence of the story intriguing and alive.
The imaginery depth embroidered with innovative words makes Bishop a master of exploitation in colors, shades, mood, language tone that can put avid readers to straddle between two worlds, ancient and contemporary. Thumbs-up for a bold and a fine craftsman storyteller!

(Feb 15, 2004)I had come to find this book while looking through a shelf in a book store. I saw the cover and was instantly drawn in. I have to say that the trilogy was wonderful. I was pulled into the book just as much as I was with the cover. Even though my mom didn't appreciate some of the text in the first book (I am only 13), I made her read it over again, and she found that it has a wonderful storyline. Anne Bishop did a wonderful job portraying the politics of that world, not to mention the suspence. I would recommend this book to anyone who is mature enough to accept the sensuality along with the plot of this thrilling novel.

(Feb 15, 2004) This series is a particularly intriguing collection. Bishop has weaved a seductive, enticing world that was hard to leave after reading.
I was very interested in her use of colored jewels and was wondering how they related to the chakra colors. It was my hope when surfing the net under the title of these books to get on to a site where I could further explore the original myths that Bishop has used to create this wonderful series of books.
Further, I was interested in what inspired her to create her amazing underworld.
I am a former English teacher and I have a Masters in Literature, I read extensively, yet I have never encountered a series of books where I have fallen so completely in love with the world and the characters created by the author.
Anne Bishop, you are my hero I wish that I could take up residence in your imagination.
Out of a score of 1-5, with 5 being the highest score I give this trilogy a 35.
I look forward to your next publication Ms Bishop, you are my hero.
