Customer Reviews

I DO NOT WANT THIS TO BE THE END!!!

This was a beautiful ending but it has left me hollow inside. I just do not want it to end. The concepts that Linda Winstead came up with are so fascinating. She writes like she actually experienced these things. Her writing triggers childhood fantasies that once danced in my head. If the author ever reads this, please, please write more of these books!!!

The last for the best

Linda was saving the best for last, of course i started with the children of the sun trilogy and i couldn't wait to purchase them all, Prince of Swords was my favorite though, Rayne was the perfect female character and fit Lynx well.

The Prince Of Swords

The last in this trilogy is on of the best. I couldnt put it down and was even reading it in the drive through of a fast food resturant. This whole set is wonderful. Ms Jones is a great writer and I loved the imagination and the planning and the way everything came together. I would love to see more about all the characters in this set. The only thing about this one is the death of Ciro is a little cheesy and anti-climatic. For him being this big bad butt He should have given more of a fight even though the way it was crafted was a great idea. All in all this is a great set.

Prince of Swords

I love the lead female character in this book. This author made me laugh out loud many times while reading this one. AWESOME read.

Will the Prophecy be fulfilled?

I may be a man, and not just a man, but an accounting man, but even I need to occasionally get out of the mundane world of balance sheets, amortization schedules, adding machines, and green eye shades and get into the magical world of demons, monsters, shapeshifters, and witches that unfolds within the pages of a Linda Winstead Jones romantic fantasy. The "Prince of Swords" concludes Jones's Children of the Sun trilogy, itself a continuation of the Sisters of the Sun trilogy. The children are the first-born of the Fyne sisters, beautiful witches who fight in the epic battle between good and evil and in whose offspring the Prophecy of the Firstborn will be fulfilled. I am a firstborn and my prophesy was that I would become an All-American footballer, but I had fragile bones and dainty hands, so I became an amateur doll dressmaker instead. The first two books of the Children of the Sun trilogy saw the completion of the first two phases of the Prophecy, and in this last installment, the daughter Rayne, imprisoned and fearful of the return of Ciro, the demon-possessed man who needs her soul to combine with his to produce the perfect child and the final piece to his grand design, must decide whether the handsome and well-muscled stranger Lyr Hern offers salvation or doom in his quest to find the crystal dagger, the key to the final phase of the Prophesy. The key to doll dressmaking is to use really small stitches. Despite Rayne's uncertainty and Lyr's wariness, the two form an immediate attraction and Rayne decides that Lyr may be just the sword-wielding, bare-chested fellow to ruin her (in a romantic way) and ruin Ciro's plans (in a non-romantic, clashing-swords kind of way). I have never wielded a sword, but the pen is supposed to be mightier, so I guess that makes me a hero too, in a skinny, fragile, trembling sort of way. You will find yourself trembling also as you follow Rayne and Lyr on their mythic quest which also leads to their growing passion, a passion that will ignite your desire and inflame your sensibilities, and finally leave you wishing that you too could be, dare I say it, the prince of swords.
