Reseñas de la Crítica

"When it comes to delivering stories that grab you by the throat and don't let go, Singh is in a class by herself!" ( Romantic Times)

Great!

I really enjoy listening to this series after reading it four or 5 times over the years. It's almost like a whole new series!

More romance

This time between one on the physic wed and one of the 'forgotten '. It's sort of amazing how many different romances this author imagines on her world. The story over each romance is what makes this series good though. Each one showcases a different aspect of this culture.

Best one yet!

This book, is full of turns and twists. It follows the authors typical format - however it is my favorite of the series thus far. Worth every second!

The most emotional yet

Wow! For a while there I had doubts about how Dev and Katya are going to achieve their HEA. I should have trusted in Nalini because the resolution was nothing short of amazing. I love this installment. I didn't think I would at the beginning, but I was totally engaged by the end. I cried. The Forgotten and The Ghost, the Council and the Arrows, the mated pairs, they all fascinated.

Great series.

Wonderful!

The world grows! Every book brings a new element to the world and the stories! It a gripping series I recommend to all.

Needs more stars!!

Best so far

I liked this one the best so far. There is definitely a few heart breaking moments that will bring tears to your eyes.

After Reading Reviews, I'm Surprised I Liked It

After reading some of the negative reviews about his book, I was apprehensive about this title, but I'm committed to the series, and so there was no way around reading it. I'm glad I did read it, because I really enjoyed it.

In the psy changling world, there are three main "races": the psy, the changlings, and humans. The author has pair them up in several combinations, and granted, some work better than others. However, I enjoyed the combination of a female who has spent her life inside the psy net, free of emotion, while the hero has spent his life as part of a group of outsiders who can feel emotions.

For those of you following the series closely, this book gives a first person account (in the form of a mother's journal written for her son) of how silence came to be among the psy, and how a group of those who opposed silence broke away and formed their own enclaves, later assimilating with the human and changeling populations, passing an altered version of their psy genetics down through the generations. In "real time" many of the recipients of these genes aren't even aware that they carry them.

The hero, Dev, is the leader of the Shine foundation, whose objective is to track down children with psy DNA and teach them how to handle their gifts. Consequently, we learn more about some of the special children in this book, and that's a big bonus.

I really felt the relationship between Dev and Katya. I felt his struggle between doing the "right thing" and doing what his heart was telling him to do. I felt the horror of Katya's experiences with Ming, I felt Dev's guilt over holding Katya prisoner, but I could also understand his reasons for doing so (Katya, incidentally, understood why he did it as well). If anything, the conflict that threatened to keep the two lovers apart was more believable in this book than it was in most of the previous books.

If I have one complaint, it is the same as other reviewers have mentioned: the author didn't expand on Dev's power with metal. I thought that was going somewhere, or perhaps would show up in a final showdown, but no such luck. I will reserve judgement on that though, because there are still more books in the series that I haven't read, and perhaps we will see more of it then.

The narrator did a great job with the material. I enjoyed her interpretation of the work very much. She has read the whole series thus far, and I like the continuity. Her voice is like that of an old friends by now, and at this point I don't think another reader could do it justice.

Best yet!

What did you love best about Blaze of Memory?

I have been enjoying this series in order. I keep thinking they will get stale or old, this one has another new twist and might just be the best one yet!

so AMAZING

it was so great. I loved the (will they? won't they?) I loved the surprise ending. I totally cried. I'll be devastated when this series is done.
