McDonald Donna 2010Īugust 29 the American put out again, having an additional newly built schooner, named the " Sylph," large and fast, carrying three or four long 32-pounders. I want to see what happens next!įollow Note To Selph Book Reviews on WordPress.That is, until she finds herself kidnapped for use as a human sacrifice in the luring and binding of a Battler, the most dangerous kind of Sylph there is. This book was a treat with very promising characters. There was a lot of fighting, but with only one sex scene, the book was lacking. I’m hoping for a little more steamy action. The next book in the series, The Shattered Sylph, is on my to-be-read list. Yummy! I hope to see more of them in the future. The other notable battlers, Mace and Ril, are the ones to watch.
I will say at times he was a little too lusty teen when I wanted sexy battler but I’ll take what I can get. There was a lot of clever lines and wit throughout the book which made it that much more enjoyable, especially the way Heyou got his name. I found her to be a very likable character. What a realistic young female lead, brave yet unsure and smart enough to realize she doesn’t know everything. The sacrificial ceremony gone wrong was a nice touch and I loved the main character, Solie. I was immediately drawn into this well-crafted novel. What a unique world McDonald created! I’d never read or heard anything about sylphs before, let alone knew how to pronounce it. I absolutely loved the idea of a battle sylph, a being with vast amounts of power for destruction but also a willing spirit to serve a queen.
What would a maiden do if she were given such a servant? What would befall that kingdom foolish enough to allow a battler to escape? Young Solie and the people of Eferem are about to find out. Their magic can destroy an army or demolish a castle, and each has but one goal: find his queen, then protect and pleasure her at any cost. Unlike their elemental cousins-those gentler sylphs of wind and fire-battlers find no joy in everyday labor. She is killed, and he is silenced and enslaved. He is lured through the portal by pure female beauty, a virgin sacrifice. He is one of many: a creature of magic, unrelentingly male. This is such an imaginative, creative, heart-warming story. I’ve had this book on my shelf for months hidden between ones I’d already read.
