Commentary Supposing Books The Battle of Evernight (The Bitterbynde #3)

The Barnes Noble Review The Battle of Evernight, the final installment in Australian author Cecilia Dart-Thornton's Bitterbynde trilogy, takes place in Erith, a richly detailed realm filled with a plethora of magical seelie (benevolent) and unseelie (malevolent) creatures. Seamlessly mixing British and Irish myths, fairy tales and folklore, Dart-Thornton (called Australia's answer to J.R.R. Tolkien) creates an extraordinarily wild world, comparable to Middle-earth, that can be both breathtakingly beautiful and, in the blink of an eye, the stuff of nightmares. With her memory slowly returning, the protagonist, Tahquil, along with her friends Caitri and Viviana, vows to find the Bitterbynde Gate, the only remaining passage into the world of Faeran. By finding the elusive gate, Tahquil can stop the impending war between feuding immortal Faeran brothers trapped in Erith: Angavar, the High King of the Fair Realm, and his younger twin brother, Morragan, the Raven Prince. The battle between Angavar and his followers and Morragan and his unseelie legions will likely take hundreds of thousands of lives, but if Tahquil can find the gate in time, all the immortals stranded in Erith will surely end their conflict and return posthaste to the Fair Realm. Fans of folklore and fairy tales should make it a point to read Dart-Thornton's entire Bitterbynde trilogy (The Ill-Made Mute, and The Lady of the Sorrows are the first two books). Her fluid, almost hypnotic writing style is reminiscent of Elizabethan poetry or Celtic music. In short, this is beautifully written, timeless fantasy. Paul Goat Allen

Commentary Regarding Books The Battle of Evernight (The Bitterbynde #3)

Do you want a book that is the most disappointing ending possible to a very promising trilogy? Do you want a book where any charm or dimension that the characters once had is completely erased?A book where the plot is extremely redundant, endless variations on the plot "twist" "you were told in absolutely certain terms to never violate this rule about dealing with fairies, and you violated it! EXTREMELY VIOLENT CONSEQUENCES which for some reason the heroes will escape from scot-free!"? Does your

I really liked this trilogy when I started reading it. I loved Cecilia Dart-Thornton's wealth of folklore cleverly woven into her texts and her poetic descriptions. I loved the premise of floating metals and mysterious shang winds, of hidden treasures and pirate rogues. The Hobbit is one of my favourite books and I could see its influence on the shape of the text.But these poetic descriptions I felt were over-used, and although they were beautiful I found myself skipping over them more and more

I really truly enjoyed this series, and this third installment did not disappoint. Well worth the read.

This book was a slog. It took me 6 months to read this book. I did have a break between July & November, therefore only 3 months reading time, but it was hard. It just wasn't my taste because it was exhausting to read all the description. The plot itself is quite interesting but it was drowned in clothing, food & landscape descriptions. Obviously you need description, and it can be a very interesting part, but not to this extent. Tahquil goes through a series of name changes again and

There's something about the uber high fantasy-ness of this book that rubs me the wrong way. Maybe it's the endless lists of things in each descriptive setting that aren't described so much as named, so that I can't be sure if she even knows what she's talking about. Maybe it's the overly flowery dialogue, and how everyone tends to exclaim rather than talk. Maybe it's the horribly trite chivalry/sexism (depending on your point of view), which is epitomized in this exchange:"Two worlds dost thou

The end of this book disappointed me - bitterly. The other two books of the series were brilliant, if they did do a little rambling, there was no harm in it.However, I might as well have skipped the majority of this book. I found Ashalind's main journey to be bland, and uninteresting, as well as confusing. Also, the lack of emotion displayed by some characters was unnerving. Although I started to like it towards the end, because Dart-Thornton had FINALLY gotten her act together, and stopped the

I loved this book almost as much as the other ones, not knowing what is suppose to/going to happen. My only problem is that it is a bittersweet ending, not what I expected, but still good. I definitely recommend this series.
