Critic Reviews

Praise for The Shadow Queen

“A strong romantic fantasy.”—Alternative Worlds

“Anne Bishop does not disappoint. I have not read a book of hers that did not immediately captivate me and draw me immediately back into her world...[She] weaves her spell so well...Her characters seem so real and engaging.”—SF Revu

“Surges with spellcraft and engaging romance.”—Publishers Weekly

“Black Jewel fans won’t want to miss this installment which offers a different look on the realms of the Blood.”—Dear Author

“Superb.”—Specusphere

“In this stand-alone novel set in the evocative Black Jewels world, Bishop tackles surviving various horrors head-on...It’s a difficult subject, but one that Bishop writes about sensitively, with compassion and without blinking or pulling punches.”—RT Book Reviews

Familiar story for me. The narrators accent for Jaenelle was awful and jarring. otherwise good. This is one of my favourite books in the Black Jewels trilogy. It's just a shame the follow up shaladors lady isn't available

My kind of trash
