The Forgotten Ones (The Danaan Trilogy #1)
Allison is twenty-one and her mother
suffers from schizophrenia. Her father who never knew of her
existence shows up on her doorstep to see her ill mother. This is a
short and fast read. The pacing feels a bit rushed but the writing is
really good. I liked the characterization a lot. The story was
interesting and it drew me in. Usually the first book of a trilogy is
the weakest, but I thought this was a pretty good first installment.
I am excited to read the next book. 4 stars.

Stone of Destiny (The Danaan Trilogy #2)
by Laura HowardMY REVIEW
Allison's mother is under a curse which
makes her seem like she has schizophrenia. An evil fae has escaped.
Allison is in love with Ethan but she can't seem to make that work
out since Ethan's behavior has changed drastically to cruelty. Since
the magical fae Deaghlan
is fascinated by Allison, it seemed pretty obvious to me what was up
with Ethan. It made me a bit frustrated that Allison was so oblivious
to the possibility of what was really happening to Ethan.
There was a lot of explanation and
exposition in the beginning of the book with made it drag a bit. The
writing is good but the pacing is sometimes slow in the beginning
then it gets really fast paced towards the middle. The characters are
interesting and the story held my interest. All in all a good story
and I am ready for the conclusion to this saga. 4 stars.
