Narrative Conducive To Books A Chalice of Wind (Balefire #1)

As the author of Sweep, I had very high expectations of Tiernan for this series.

I enjoyed the fact that their true loves were not found as easily as we initially thought. There was obviously something off about their guy, but his betrayal was pleasantly different from Cal's in her previous series.

Fantastic book; compelling, addictive and enjoyable...but I don't think it was her best work. Nancy Holder's Wicca series is very similar and was pubished beforehand, the parellals are uncanny; deaf feline familiars, dead parents and the child moves, old french magicks. But hey, there's a limited amount you can write about that hasn't been done.

I repeat, a fantastic book (better than holder's) but I was looking for something more original. Let it be known that I am hating myself as I write this for betraying this most esteemed author.

Nevertheless, the characters were vivid and the 1st person perspective worked flawlessly.

I shouldn't be so judgemental, I haven't read the others yet and the first seemed like the set-up-book.

Love the french pronunciations. Tye-ees. Love it.

Criticize Epithetical Books A Chalice of Wind (Balefire #1)

I read this book for a second time now. The first time was so long ago, I cant even remember. I only remember that I didn't like it, couldn't really get into it, and probably compared it too much with the Wicca/Sweep series.Now, years later, I was able to start reading it more objectively. But all the French still bugged me a lot. I hate the French language (I'm sorry, I just do) and I just don't see what it has to add to the story. I know they have a French past. But why not just write about

Really good story. Hard to get into but picked up and took off after a while

My mom has been begging me to read this series for quite sometime now so here we are! I really found this story to be interesting and enjoyable, I like that the "insta-love" with Luc/Andre isn't at ALL what it seems. At first I thought, Oh Lordy, here we go...but then was pleasantly surprised that his betrayal turned out to be pretty expected and interesting. I also really like the POV switches from 3rd person through to Clio and Thais, they were very clear and since each POV is very

But little does she know she has a twin sister

From the Witchy Books Network review blog.I'm reviewing the Balefire series as a whole because, while it is currently out of print, it will soon be reprinted in one volume some time around the holidays. However, I'll try not to give too much away in case you want to hunt down the original volumes (A Chalice of Wind, A Circle of Ashes, A Feather of Stone, and A Necklace of Water).Clio Martin and Thais Allard are twins, separated at birth by their grandmother, Petra, to protect them from the

Brought to you by OBS reviewer/founder DawnIf you like witches and magick, this is a must read. Its mysterious, a bit scary, but a lot of fun. The plot twists keep you on the edge of you seat. I have been fascinated with witches and magic since I was a child. Other than The Mayfair Witches by Anne Rice, I havent really enjoyed the books Ive read relating to them, until now. A Chalice of Wind is filled with unique characters, each developed and described until I felt like I knew them each
