<From The Pedestal, Thursday, April 10, 2008>
Violet, raised Lord of the Fading Lands by C.L. Wilson to The Pedestal.
The reasons were:
Just don't be put off by the prologue, which is a little confusing at first--it will all make sense as you keep reading. The author creates a richly built fantasy world. Rain is both king of the fey and soul-linked to the tairen (powerful winged cats). His people (both the fey and the tairen) are dying. To save them, he must find his truemate, the one woman meant for him. I would characterize this book as both epic fantasy and paranormal romance. Just so you know, the story doesn't end at the end of the book. It continues in "Lady of Light and Shadows." (I get the sense that the two were originally meant as one book, but were published separately to keep the page-length more manageable. Each book is about 400 pages. But I love a long, page-turner of a book that gives me my money's worth, which these do.) Now that I've fallen in love with Rain and Elly and their world, I can't wait to read more. According to blurb at the end of "Lady of Light and Shadows" two more books are due out later this year. I can't wait. (I say again, I can't wait. Alas, I must.) If you gobble up books like I do and love fantasy romance, then you won't be disappointed here.

I just finished LOTFL and really enjoyed it. I'm partial to Fantasy Romance anyway and this hit the spot. I'm looking forward to reading the next one.

Michelle added:
I loved these books also and can't wait for the next 2.
Heather added:
I liked both books as well, they were different and interesting. I didn't quite care for Elly though, I thought she was seriously stupid and acted like a door mat especially where her mother was concerned. At least at the end of Book 2 she grows a back bone but it was too long in coming. I'd like to read the next 2 to see what happens.
