She is the salvation of a Fey king’s tormented soul, and the

hope to conquer the evil forces determined to destroy them. Beginning with Lord
of the Fading Lands, continuing with Lady of Light and Shadows, King of Sword
and Sky, and Queen of Song and Souls, and concluding with Crown Of Crystal
Flame, the Tairen Soul series tells the story of Ellysetta Baristani and Rain
Tairen Soul as they fight to save the tairen and the Fey, defeat the dangerous
power of the Eld Mages, and complete their truemate bond.
Brilliant & Creatively Written!
Just Wow! I am totally blown away. The series is brilliantly written with the
world building and the dynasty of connections between the characters. This is one series that imagination and
creativity of the plot exceeds any fantasy tale I have ever read. I found myself captivated from the very first
book and towards the end of each book I couldn’t wait to get to the next book
to continue the flowing magical movie like visual of excitement the author’s
smooth writing revealed as it came alive upon the page.
I want to note however that each book is just a part of the
story and must be read in order for the reader to understand the awesome plot
and the connection between each character.
The main characters Ellysetta and Rain are magical and their
passion is believable and steam up the pages throughout the series. The fey language will have you melting with
heart felt emotions.
“Ver reisa ku’chae. Kem surah, sheitani. Your soul calls out. Mine answers, beloved.” (Rain)
“Whatever your fate, I wil share it. Wherever your Path leads, there,
too, walk I. Ver reisa ku’chae. Kem surah, sheitani.” (Rain)
The Tairen creatures are creative as they are a form of great
big cats with wings. They are humorous
and playful but most importantly they are protective with a fierceness that
will have you in awe. Steli is my
favorite because of her protectiveness and heartwarming fondness of Ellie, she
had me laughing out loud with her humor and actions.
The friendship between the Celierian (humans) Fae, Elves, characters
bring forth the drama of family history, their fates of religion and beliefs,
their turmoil of living and surviving, and their dedication of honor and soul
wrenching love to die for.
“War is a strange thing, kem’jitanessa. I’ve seen bitter enemies
fighting side by side, because they hate the thing they’re fighting more than
they hate each other. Sometimes you have to take your allies where you find
them and hope for the best.”
Throughout each book the reader will find the many examples
of good (light) vs evil (darkness) and a discovery of how not all evil
(darkness) is truly evil but a necessary action of protectiveness and love – a way
of life. This is one of the reasons I
love about this magical story.
“We are all the gods children. All our gifts come from them. It’s what
we do with those gifts that determines whether we walk in Light or Shadow.”
The evil (darkness) of the Mages along with their demon
possessed evil creatures will have you seething for revenge as the torture and
graphic bloody scenery plays out in this action packed mystical story. The magical powers bestowed upon the Mages and
their minions is bone chilling and will have you gripping the book tight as you
read the scenes thinking OMG or WTF.
However, though the reader will be stunned from the horrific
scenes of great loss, the passionate warmth of love and good deeds between each
book leaves you with a fulfilled contentment up to the final climax of the breath
taking Happy Ever After in the end.
Overall, I highly recommend this series for all Adult
Fantasy fans and this fan of C.L. Wilson looks forward to reading more of her
fantastic works.
