Book Description |

Not what I thought it would be. |
|
Good story, although it wasn't what I expected. The first book in the series sat alongside the second for months after I'd purchased them. I finally got around to buying the third to complete the set and I wound up reading them all -- in one weekend. Not your typical vampire story. |

Excellent read and a wonderful end to a great story. I loved the entire collection and would highly recommend the read to anyone who likes a good adventure story. |

What Can I Add? |
|
I can't really add much to what has already been written, but I felt I needed to add my voice to say what a great trilogy this was to read. I may have been a bit predictable in a few places but it was predictable in the way you wished for it to turn out, I am tired of depressing books and this was uplifting and entertaining. What else could you want from your reading, if I wanted to be educated I would read a school book, this is great entertainment. |

Passionate and gripping -- a keeper! |
Valley of Silence is a stirring and emotional conclusion to the Circle Trilogy. There is enormous heart, struggle, and passion in this story, and characters' thoughts, feelings, and relationships are beautifully and passionately drawn. Although the story is set in a fantasy/paranormal world, it is a world so vividly and fully evoked, so well-populated and so human (both in good and evil), that the reader is fully absorbed. Nora Roberts takes as much care with her villains as with her heroes and heroines, and unique, well-developed characters whose feelings and struggles are important are the great strength of this trilogy as a whole, and of Valley of Silence in particular.
Star-crossed lovers Cian the vampire and Moira the scholar-queen share powerful emotions: passion, sacrifice, heartbreak, sorrow, and elation. Roberts has a remarkable gift -- her words go directly to the heart, and they feel true, not melodramatic. That Cian has such deep anger and defiance, and Moira such responsibilty and sorrow to bear, keeps these characters complex and compelling. Despite its fantastic world, this is one of Roberts' mostly deeply human stories. I've reread it several times, and have also listened to the audiobook, which is beautifully paced and read, sensitively and passionately, with exceptionally clear characterizations. |

Too good to put down |
|
I bought all three books at once. I got so wrapped up in them that I read one right after the other in about a week. They were so good, I could not put them down. I love Nora Roberts' work. I was a little concerned that this trilogy was a little different from what I was used to reading, but was pleasantly hooked. |
