We see a fair amount of them, too, because Bishop really, really likes to show the villain’s point of view in her stories. The conversations they have is ridiculously comical, too. It sounds like something you would come across in a comic book villain, which you know won’t work because it is just so damn silly. Unfortunately, the villains leave something to be desired. They go through Hell (not literally – but they could have if they had to) to be together. And Daemon? Holy hell, that is a relationship to die for. I’ll have tears flowing down my face because I’m upset at the events, but then one of her friends come in and I’ll be busting up laughing. All of Jaenelle’s friends are amazing, and they are so, so funny. Saetan is the best dad ever, and Lucivar is the best brother Jaenelle could ever hope for. Jaenelle is so strong, and she has such a journey to get through.

Despite having some of the worst names ever, they’re so good. This is not a pretty world, and Bishop makes that very, very well known. There is a lot of rape that happens in this world, as well as child abuse. Unfortunately, I do have to say that if you’re sensitive to certain topics you should avoid this series. The way Bishop weaves the threads of this series is fantastic. Only read if you are looking for something that will make you depressed just to think about. Do not read this series if you want something happy and cheerful. The things that happen to the characters are horrible. I loved this series and saying goodbye hurt, and the way Bishop had us say goodbye hurt so goddamn much. In fact if I think too hard about certain parts I will start crying again – I just can’t help it. This series review actually took me months to put together, because for months every time I thought about it, just break down crying. The original trilogy is exactly the type of series I have been looking for for a while now. As Jaenelle grows up, she becomes more and more able to stop this evil, but at what cost? Original Trilogy Review: They’ve allowed their duties to be forgotten. They have been waiting because those of the Blood have corrupted over time, becoming cruel over time. She is the one that was forteold to be coming, and Saetan, Lucivar, and most especially Daemon has been waiting for for a long, long time. In the original trilogy, Jaenelle is a kid, the most powerful creature to exist in some time, if ever. The Queen’s Bargain Original Trilogy: Blurb:
