Summary: More disturbing than the previous books
Comment: I recommend it, if merely to have some closure on the series. However, overall, I found this book much darker and more disturbing than the other two. Some of the scenes were really horrific, especially towards the end. And I thought that, unlike Pillars and Shadows (and the Jewels trilogy), House of Gaian didn't have enough romantic/light/funny moments to balance out the darkness. I finished the book late at night, but was too disturbed to get any sleep. On the positive side, there was some interesting information on the history of the witches and the Fae and some interesting new characters were introduced. Although it left some questions unanswered, I was fairly satisfied with the conclusion. It was a good series, but wasn't nearly as good as her Black Jewels Trilogy.

Summary: Good ending for a great story
Comment: I think this book was a good story, not as good as some of her other books, but still a good read. This book definately had it's tear jerker moments, but it was sweet. Anne Bishop has this special ability to tie her story together and form a masterpiece. She is really a gifted writer, and deserves to let her stories be heard. I don't want to give away the story line, but I'll write some brief imformation. It sort of reminds me of a fantasy version of the Salem Witch Trials. Basically all the magical creature's in her story all join together to battle the "black coats" a.K.a, the witch hunters who are destroying the magic in the world. The witches manage to find themselves in the process. That's all I'm going to say though, I don't want to ruin any of the story, but I recommend it. If you really want to get her at her best, than read the Black Jewel Trilogys. If you can handle feminism at it's most dramatic and real life scenarios than you should read it. It's definitly a dark story with a beautiful ending. (sorry about the spelling:))

Summary: Hang on for the Ending!!
Comment: I've read both the Black Jewels Trilogy and now the Tir Ailain trilogy. I will say that the Black Jewels is my favorite of the two but this trilogy has its highlights as well. This concluding installment tries valiantly to tie up the loose ends that were produced in the preceding 2 volumes and almost succeeds. This book has such a frantic pace in the last half that before you know it the war has come and gone and you really haven't realized it ever started. Bishop appears to have let the story grow in the telling and got too many storylines going to be able to adequately (in her fashion) bring them all to a justifiable conclusion within the confines of a 3 novel arc. This is still a highly entertaining read and will keep your interest especially when you reach the last half of each novel.
Enjoy. Definitely worth checking out.
