julesgou 's review for:

Carrier Of The Mark by Leigh Fallon
4.0

I was so stoked to read this book. It took me forever to find the paperback version as it was in stock in all of 2 places in my region. They didn't even have it online. Needless to say, I wasn't disappointed.

This book expressed fierce emotions of love and this good sorta reminds me of the "Starcrossed" trilogy by Josephine Angelini. But, instead of the ever present Greek mythology, we are moving onto Celtic.

I find that this legend (I guess that is what you would call it) is very interesting. Although, I was kind of confused by the whole royal blood thing and how to conceive a marked child and then the Carrier of the Mark with the royal blood. Still, I got most of it.

Now, the relationship between Megan and Adam is intense and lovely. I honestly wish that someone would love me that fiercely. It was amazing the lengths that they would go to for each other. I really didn't get Rian. I mean he was cold and then hot. That big jump in character with no explanation what so ever was weird. I feel really bad for Aine. I mean, the arranged marriage thing is absolutely terrible. We get freedoms in life and loving who we want shouldn't be a freedom that it taken away from us, no matter the duty. I was disgusted on the fact that the Order was willing to do that. Then again, it wasn't their lives, so it was easier for them to make the decision. Lets just say that the Order can leave and I really don't like them.

Great start to this series and I'm can't wait for the next read. Chapters has it in stock online this time so time to pounce before they disappear!! :)
