Plot
This series is pure id, just overwrought bonkers world building, and many content warnings apply, mainly for rape. There were a couple of good plot twists though and it's a page turner, as long as you're in the right mood!

While outside the time frame of "the usual suspects" mostly (there is a Daemon cameo) I love this addition to the Black Jewels world if only for the lead in to the second trilogy that this presents....the Grey Lady story line. Want more Black Jewels? Read it!!

So much fun.
This book started slower than her other novels, but boy when it got going it was great. I love when the sadist comes out to play.

Not gonna lie, this was cute. I mean, Anne Bishop Black Jewels cute, so simultaneously insane and cute, but still.
The whole rings thing in this series . . . I mean . . . really. Cannot take remotely seriously. Makes the title and the cover hilarious. That is all.

A solid 4.5 stars!
It's been awhile since I've read anything by Anne Bishop. Having lost a dear friend who introduced me to her writing, I hesitated getting back to this series. Recently, I decided it was time to continue my quest with The Black Jewels. As always, Anne Bishop did not disappoint. Her writing is always so very colorful. When I first started reading this one, I was slightly lost, but in no time at all I recalled the previous storyline. I'm looking forward to continuing on this amazing journey with her.
