"The Crippled Angel" by Sara Douglass, Book Review
The Crippled Angel by Sara Douglass – Book Review
The Crippled Angel is the third book of The Crucible Series. This was a very compelling story. Sara has mixed fantasy with faith and wrote a very enthralling story. I found the book to be very enjoyable and entertaining.
What if the angels were not all good and the demons not all evil? What if Joan of Arc was being misled by the Archangel Michael? What if “Demons” were actually the offspring of Angels by mortals?
“The Cripple Angel” includes some of histories greatest characters from the time of Crusades. Some are “Angels” some are “Demons” and then there are the crusaders, who have to discover which is which and learn the truth for themselves.
In Sara Douglass’ final book “The Crippled Angel” you will read what the Angels’ and the Demons’ crusaders learn about faith and trust. Follow Thomas Neville as he tries to uncover the truth and lies. Thomas has been given the task by Archangel Michael to find and expose the Demons. He discovers that all he has been lead to believe is not all true and now has to decide who to believe and trust. Mankind’s destiny will be determined by Thomas’ ability to truly love someone.
“The Crippled Angel” is a must read for the dramatic conclusion to “The Crucible Series.” This is a splendid story with a very dramatic and shocking conclusion.

"Damselflies" by Jayel Gibson, Book Review
Jayel Gibson’s third book in the “Ancient Mirrors” saga is her best book to date. Once you start reading it you will not be able to put it down. I know I couldn’t!
Once you have read the first two books, “Dragon Queen” and “The Wrekening”, you must finish the tale by reading “Damselflies”. Jayel Gibson has taken characters from the two previous books and then added another twist to the saga. “Damselflies” is full of action, suspense, love, courage, and tragedy. It will keep you reading to find out what will happen next.
“Damselflies” starts out with the discovery of the total annihilation of the Damselflies’ village, Grimmoire. There is only one survivor, Arcinae. Arcinae is the rightful Sovereign of Grimmoire. Follow Arcinae during her recovery and her determination to overcome her peaceful ways. Arcinae is taught to defend herself by Ilerion, who is a “Hunter.” Ilerion teaches Arcinae not only how to defend herself but how to trust and love. What Arcinae learns will be passed down and taught to her children. Her children, A’Janae and J’yorie, will then have to use their combined powers and skills to save the enchanted and mankind.
“Damselflies” is due to be released in November 2007. Watch for it, you will not be disappointed with Jayel Gibson’s conclusion to the “Ancient Mirrors” saga.
