Critic reviews

Praise for Shalador’s Lady

“Fans of the long running Black Jewels saga will relish this terrific entry.”—Genre Go Round Reviews

“A lavishly detailed, exotic background...brings to mind the sensual fiction of Tanith Lee and Storm Constantine and should appeal to fans of dynastic fantasy.”—Library Journal

“The Black Jewels novels are seductive—once you start, you just cannot stop reading...Shalador’s Lady takes you on an emotional journey...You must read this fantasy novel.”—Romance Reviews Today

“Shares many of the same themes of trauma, survival, and the importance of doing what is right [with The Shadow Queen]. Bishop handles these difficult subjects with a good deal of grace and sensitivity and, as always, with compelling characterization.”—RT Book Reviews

I confess I already own a complete set of all Anne Bishops books in print. So I'm biased I think they are all fabulous.
