" This is the second book in the series but this is the first time you actually get to know the Heroine and who she is aside from how others see her. "
— Roseanna, 2/3/2014" it was so good that i can't desribe it! "
— Katarzyna, 1/23/2014" An emotionally engaging story based in a fantastic world. Some of Anne Bishop's best writing. "
— Mark, 1/20/2014" i love the theme of redemption woven through anne bishop's books. even in the darkest pages (and some of them are pretty dark!) there is still a kernel of hope. "
— Amber, 12/25/2013" I was actually crying at the end. I used to look at my mom oddly when she cried at books that she read to me when I was little. Guess I finally grew up. "
— Hilary, 12/6/2013" This may be my favorite of her books so far. Ephemera is such a rich world and I loved the gardening aspects. I found myself wishing she was writing a third for this series. "
— Kate, 11/18/2013" The Sequel to Sebastion, much easier to follow as I was familar with the world. My one complaint is that I wish Teaser had been given a bigger role "
— Kaci, 11/5/2013" Awesome continuation of the Ephemera story, with the type of dramatic and satisfying climax which keeps me reading Anne's books. Wonderful development on some of the original main characters, and additions of a few new players that further widens this new world. Book 3, here I come!! "
— Mia, 8/9/2013" This world draws you in, leaves you invested in the characters and always makes it very clear that when it comes to defining light and dark, good and bad, there are no hard and fast rules. "
— Suz, 7/5/2013" This book was just as good as the first one, I didn't want it to end, It was one of those books that I wished it would magically get longer while I slept. Great read. "
— Megan, 1/7/2013" This is the 2nd book in Anne Bishop's Ephemera Series. I really hope that there is a 3rd. "
— Elissa, 12/25/2012" Not as good as Sebastioonn. I felt let down by the ending. "
— Mike, 4/19/2012" I actually enjoyed the first book more. The story was a little flat for me, mainly because the story didn't seem to go anywhere. And I really like Ann Bishop, too so it makes me all the more sad. "
— Philana, 4/7/2012" This is the second book in this highly enjoyable series about a world of separate landscapes of light and dark. This title features Belladonna, who is a guide of the heart and the man of her dreams (literally), Michael. "
— Grace, 3/26/2012" c2007. I somehow managed to miss that this was part of a series and is probably why I did not enjoy it as much as I should of according to the average rating. "
— Ruth, 3/19/2012" I actually enjoyed this more than Sebastian. I read through it in a weekend. I enjoyed it less as the book progressed, and found the ending anticlimactic, but I will still be reading the third book in the series. I love Anne Bishop's worlds too much not to. "
— Alex, 1/8/2012" Belladonna traps the eater of the world. lots of plot, very different form Sebastian, but not totally bad. "
— Manda, 9/29/2011" not nearly as engaging as Sebastian, but still readable. "
— Andee, 3/20/2011" This is yet another world of Anne Bishop. I liked it. Sebastian is a great character and Belladonna is very intriguing. "
— Angie, 1/30/2011" An emotionally engaging story based in a fantastic world. Some of Anne Bishop's best writing. "
— Mark, 1/10/2011" These aren't as good as the black jewel stories and kind of fizzle out. "
— Kadie, 12/29/2010" mesmo para quem não gosta de literatura fantástica bastam as descrições dos ambientes que são fenomenais "
— Vanessa, 12/19/2010" This one felt like she was just churning it out for the sake of having a conclusion to the first book. Lamesauce. "
— Amanda, 10/28/2010" This is the 2nd book in Anne Bishop's Ephemera Series. I really hope that there is a 3rd. "
— Elissa, 9/12/2010" Acabei agorinha mesmo de ler o livro . E embora Bishop, seja Bishop acho o livro muito fraco para aquilo em que ela me habituou com o Sebastian e com o Filha do Sangue :'( mas a ver se no 3º volume da saga (?) ela volta a satisfazer as minhas delicias =D "
— Andreia, 6/4/2010" Second of two sci-fi fantasy novels by Anne Bishop. Fun, mindless entertainment. I seem to be into that right now. "
— Patrice, 4/10/2010" I tried to read this book several times before I finally finished it. I could see where the writer was trying to go, but the writing style was so disappointing I'm not sure I ever got there. "
— Tiffany, 2/25/2010" This book was just as good as the first one, I didn't want it to end, It was one of those books that I wished it would magically get longer while I slept. Great read. "
