![]() ![]() This is just the background, and as you get past trying to understand what this world is about, the story begins to unfold. The women ruling these worlds have become corrupt over the years, and are cruel. Also in this book, many of the powerful men are enslaved, become pleasure slaves, and are forced into obedience in an unusual way. The Queen leads the matriarchy, with other queens or witches ruling men under them. In this series, the women rule the worlds. ![]() One thing that Bishop does with Black Jewels, is change the concept of most fantasies. In the beginning, I was trying to absorb the worlds, the introductions of the characters, and the existence that made up of this world. Her writing, how she creates characters that are dark, and in time makes you fall in love with them (at least some of them), was superb. It was a complex world, and totally different. Bishop has created a world unlike anything I have seen yet. This led the way to the other books in the series, but book 2 & 3 lose most of the darkness, and become two of my most favorite books.ĭaughter of the Blood was totally not what I expected. This is a super trilogy, but the first book, which Anne Bishop introduces us to this world, and to the characters, has a lot of darkness in it. I loved this trilogy, the characters we come to love, and the secondary characters and legendary animals, we love almost as much. This trilogy is one of my favorite series.
