4.75 stars. Wow. Wow. Wow. This book has sooooooooooooooo many wow factors... I loved it. I loved Cas's character; there's not many books I've read which tell a good story from the boy's POV. (view spoiler) I loved Cas's mom, she was really sweet. I loved Tybalt, he was hilarious. I loved the storyline, the twists and turns, the whole Anna story. I loved the way this book was written. What I didn't love so much was the ending. There could have been so much more to it, but I personally felt that it was kind of rushed. But overall..... I LOVED IT! :p

2.5 Stars This review was posted at Under The Covers It is with great sadness that I write this review. Richelle Mead has beeen and, the events in this book aside, still is one of my favorite authors. I have seen her end two wonderful series now and she has done so masterfully. When I picked up Shadow Heir I was under the impression that this was the last Dark Swan novel, so I was expecting nothing less from her. I was already going in with bitterness about certain things. #1 Kiyo - Throughout the series Ms. Mead has managed to get me to actually hate the Kitsune with a passion *pulls out her Kiyo voodoo doll and stabs his head repeatedly* and I was prepared to only hate him more in this book, there was no going back for me on that. Well, I wasn't disappointed on that! He's still a slimy piece of crap, a rat bastard, and it's infuriating to see Eugenie having to work with him when all I want is for her to stand up to him and get some retribution for all he's done to her. That didn't happen. Until the end, he still sticks it to her and she just stands there with her mouth open in shock. Oh by the way, I am writing this as a spoiler free review so maybe some of the things I say may sound a bit weird, you'll understand when you read the book. Bitterness# 2 - Eugenie. Yes I went in already feeling sort of hate for the heroine. This has been slowly developing throughout the series and well, she didn't get any better in this book. She sits around moping and doing the whole woe-is-me routine. Get a grip, stop being so selfish and so stupid! Stop listening to the dumb Kitsune and start appreciating the REAL man you have by your side!! If not, I'll help Volusian kill you myself! *which I felt like doing repeatedly throughout this book*. Now onto a better review of this book. I wish the whole first 50% of this book would've been written in two chapters! Seriously I considered putting this as one of my few ever DNF books. Why? It is tediously boring, nothing happens, there's hardly any supernatural activity, nothing! Eugenie goes on fishing dates and I felt like I was reading a depressing women's fiction book instead of an urban fantasy. Once there's something that starts happening, it is not to follow the storyline that we were dealing with from the beginning but a completely randomly thrown in storyline that takes over the rest of the book and really doesn't do anything to close the series, this was more like another adventure of Eugenie, the moron Queen! So I thought, perhaps, this could've been resolved faster so we would've seen something more in respect to an ending to the series. Volusian - this storyline does deal in a small way with Volusian. I have to say I love the little guy! He is my favorite character in this series, apart from the all-perfect Dorian. We learn about his past, Eugenie has to go to his homeland and she couldn't accomplish what she needs without his help. So he gets closure and I really liked that part! Dorian - I can't tell you enough how much Eugenie doesn't deserve this man. First of all, with Dorian what you see is what you get. You know he's sneaky and that he wants also what's in his best interest, but in this book he put Eugenie above anything and everything. My heart breaks thinking of the fact that for the most part, she only uses him when it's convenient and this didn't change. What wouldn't I do for you? *tear* And I think this pretty much brings me to the ending. OK, let me back up for the last 15%. Everything you thought, was wrong, everything that we believed should've been one way was another. In the last 15% of this book seems like all the loose ends that should've been tied throughout the series started rapidly weaving together. That's all I can say about that without giving stuff away. Just shock after shock. Now for the actual ending. What.The.Hell.Was.That????? How can Ms. Mead end a series like that? Actually, it doesn't surprise me just because I've known all along that Eugenie is a selfish bitch! So we couldn't really expect more from her right? But I don't see how that can be an ending. No I cannot. Sorry. Very disappointing. So why the 2.5 feathers if this is still very well written? 50% of the book was too slow, then from 60% on it was just ok. Too many issues where left unanswered. And you cannot end a series with those last few pages without expecting the reader to want to ring Eugenie's stupid neck! It is with great sadness I write this.

I loved the style of writing that authors used back then. I found the story tragic in that women didn't really control their own lives. Overly romantic but still a great read.

Rereading in preparation for #3 (aka #9), which is next on deck... :)
Title in German: Die vier Versprechen - das Weisheitsbuch der Tolteken
I recommended the Modern Library Series printing because it has a really nice forward that gives an uninitiated Jacobs reader some background as to why she's so amazing. Back in 1961 when Jacobs first wrote this book, she was already a wipsmart critic of architecture in big bad NYC. She was a pioneer of urban diversity and humanistic management of cities. Even though Death and Life is over 30 years old, it is still so relevant to our rapidly expanding urban communities. I think it's especially vindicating (in an unfortunate way) to see that the cities who applied her basic model of urban planning (Vancouver BC for example) have thriving downtown communities, whereas cities that haven't are failing miserably (Seattle, WA) in the sense of having a truly viable, livable urban center. I gave this book only 4 stars because it's at times difficult to push through some of the more mundane (but necessary) data.

Not my favorite but a worthwhile read.

Another story featuring Death. The plot in this one is easier to follow and makes more conventional sense - but I guess I'm impossible to please because I found it less interesting than "High Cost of Living."

Totally in the top 10!
I LUV THIS BOOK!
patagonya gariplik dolu (ya da 1970'lerin sonlarında yazılmıştır). dünyanın alt tarafında, 20. yüzyılın başlarında, Amerika'nın aynı anda olduğunu hayal ettiğim gibi, göçmenler için bir sığınaktı. çiftlik için bir sürü arazi. yazarın hala kasap ciddisini hatırlayan ve başına gelenlerin çeşitli rakip versiyonlarını sunan hala yaşayan insanları izlediği eğlenceli bir dizi hikaye bile var. aşırı güney (tierra del fuego punta arenas) hakkında bit özellikle benim için ilginçti. 1920'lerde durdurulmuş bir komünist devrim hakkında bir dizi hikaye üzücü ve büyüleyici idi. bölgenin yerlileri, burada olduğu gibi, kolonizasyondan bu kadar iyi bir şey yapmadığını belirtmek dışında fazla söz almıyorlar. tüm büyük seyahat edebiyatlarında olduğu gibi, yazara gittikleri yerlerden daha fazla. Bay. chatwin sıra dışı bir tutkusu olan yetenekli bir yazardı. ve sırlarını itiraf etmeleri için tamamen yabancı olmaları için garip bir yetenek.
