Customer Reviews

This book Lost me by page 50.

I wanted to find a good fantasy time travel book. I enjoyed the first 50 pages and then they introduced one of the characters. And I did not care for her at all. I felt like the magic made things too convenient and I felt like I was reading a fan fiction. The world building was also kind of weak because of the convenience of magic. I'm sure younger readers may enjoy this book but for me this is just not my kind of book.

My first ever Nora Roberts book, and I wasn't disappointed!

I have never before read a novel by Nora Roberts. I am 19 years old and my mother is a fan of her work. It never interested me to read the same books as my mom. However, since one of my roomates here at college talked me into it, I gave them a try. As a follow up to the Twilight Saga which was the last series I read, I was glad to be reading another book with vampires in it. But it went above and beyond vampires, incorporating witches, sorcerers, dragons, shape-shifters, a goddess, and time-travel. All these fantasy traits I loved, but it was the characters that made this trilogy such a success. I was hooked from the first book and read all three straight through. I only wish there was more! This trilogy did not leave me disappointed and has made me interested to see what else Nora Roberts may have to offer.

Excellent story

I can't wait to read the rest of this series. Roberts does a wonderful job of pulling the reader in and keeping their attention. A softly blended story of romance and drama that will keep you until the end.

Totally Awesome!!!

I received the circle trilogy for Christmas and I absolutley loved it. It's definetly a must read!! YOu can't go wrong with a Nora Roberts book!!!

Another excellent Nora Roberts read

Unlike most books in this genre, Roberts' books are well written and can stand up to most popular fiction not within the genre. Specifically, Roberts draws the reader into the angst of the protaganists. The character of each protaganist is developed. The story is developed and is interesting. I think even a reader who does not particularly like paranormal stories could enjoy this book (though I would caution that parts of the book are not for the timid). I highly recommend this book.

One of Nora Robert's best books- to date

I found Morrigan's Cross to be a refreshing change of pace. As an addicted and avid reader of Nora Robert's romance books, at times I find her predicatable romance formulas a bit tiresome. But Morrigan's Cross had me excited and interested throughout. Morrigan's Cross is one of Mrs. Roberts better examples of her talent for good character development. And the motley assemblage of characters are interesting and diverse, and make for some good conflicts and resolutions. Furthermore, something unique to this book that I have never encountered in any of Mrs. Roberts romance books is-- eek-- a character actaully dies. Ah! finally a book that isn't totally predictable! Furthermore, for a change the love scenes in Morrigan's Cross are not explicit as they have been in many of her prior books (ie- you wouldn't be embarrassed if your 10 year old found you reading this book.) One thing that hasn't changed in this book, however, is Mrs. Robert's uncanny ability to paint such vivid pictures with words that she virtually picks you up and plunks you down physically in on location herself. I read a complaint above that this book leaves you hanging. That is certainly true, but in my case, I'm not complaining. I'm excited because there's more good reading on the way- I'm anxiously awaiting the release of Dance of the Gods!
