The Circle Trilogy - Nora Roberts

4.5/10
7/10

Morrigan's Cross (Book 1)

The first novel in this trilogy does a pretty good job of catching your interest and making you want to know more about the characters as they cross time and worlds. The premise of the story is that the gods (Celtic goddess Morrigan to be specific) have called forth a group of six to battle the darkest daemons (Vampires) and to keep them from taking over the worlds. The six, as we would expect from Nora, begin pairing off into couples. The couple in this first book is an 11th century sorcerer and a modern era witch from New York. They overcome their trials and predictable become stronger together.

3/10 (Romance / Fantasy)
6/10 

Dance Of The Gods (Book 2)

This second book in the trilogy was the wittiest with the couple it focuses on playing off each other like a pair of comedians. Unfortunately it was not as "well written" as the first book in the trilogy, but it did have a much more entertaining couple. The couple in question is a daemon hunter from Chicago and a shape shifting lord from the world of Geall, a parallel land to ours. The banter between them was priceless at times.

4/10 (for the witty banter this gets a higher rating than the first)
8/10

Valley of Silence (Book 3) 

This was the best book in the trilogy in my opinion. I really enjoyed the characters of the scholar and vampire and the way they related to one another. Also this novel was set in Geall and everyone was gearing up for the big battle (which was at the very end of the book making the conclusion "where are they now" a little to short for my liking). Getting to learn more about the pedophile vampire queen disturbed me and made me root even more for the circle of six. I also like the dragons. 

6/10 (but you really have to read them all to like this one)

8/10
