Daughters of Myth #3

As his wife, Orla is infuriated by the warrior's brusque, cold indifference—and her own uncontrollable craving for his touch. Now, as she works to redeem herself by restoring balance to the kingdom, Orla must dare to capture the one prize she may forever be her husband's carefully guarded heart.

This story concludes the series. Orla is the third daughter of Mab. After causing the incursion into their lands she now has to face the punishment meted out by her mother. Liam is the nephew of the king of the Dublaine Sidhe. He was involved in the incursion with Orla. Now the two must be joined together in marriage. It is a wonderful story. It has some great characters. Orla and Liam set off sparks together both in and out of the bedroom. It is a delightful page turner as she finds a new purpose in her new home. The story wraps up nicely by bringing all the characters together for a happy celebration.

This was the conclusion to Korbel’s fairy-tale trilogy that began the Nocturne line. The heroine is the bad sister among the faerie queen’s daughters. She connived for the throne, was mean to her sisters, and wound up betraying her people, the “good” fairies—all before the story starts. So her mom has come up with a suitable punishment. She has to marry the prince of the “bad” fairies. They don’t like each other, but the sex is pretty hot. She strikes a blow for women’s rights in her new home kingdom, makes them take a real look at what they’re doing that isn’t working, and helps her home crew recognize the important job the “bad” fairies are doing, defending the realms from even worse universes. Lots of adventure, fun and games, and even a cute kid, while both heroine and hero learn le

Sparks fly as Orla and Liam face their new life with a spouse neither of them wants while a sinister danger grows just beyond their borders.

Eileen Dreyer has once again crafted a story that wove its way into my heart and kept my attention to the very last word. After the crime they committed together in book one, Daughter of Lore, I truly did not expect to like either Orla or Liam. Instead, I grew to love them. 

If you have not read the first two books in this series, do yourself a favor and go grab all three and escape into this wonderful trilogy.

I came in late.

I came late into this series and will have to go back to read the previous books. This is an excellent story of a Fae princess and a Fae warrior of an enemy clan that are forced into marriage that becomes more than either ever expected or hoped for. I loved the characters and although I felt like there were some things missing since I didn’t read the previous books in the series, I could follow the story line fine and am anxious to read the other books. Recommended but I feel like it might be better to read them in order.

This is the final book in the series. It can be difficult to take a disliked character and make the reader like her but the author did this successfully.

I enjoyed the relationship between the two main characters and how they grew to love each other. I also enjoyed the plot line. A very good finale.

Huaaa aku suka. Buku ketiga ini keren banget.

[Mirella Grace · Rating 4 out of 5]

Keren... keren... keren... Ternyata yang aku takutkan gak terjadi. Buku ketiga ini bener bener klimaks dari buku 1 dan 2. Bacanya jadi makin serius dan gak kecewa sama sekali.

Well, ceritanya tentang Orla, putri ketiga ratu peri klan Tuatha, yang harus menerima hukuman dari ibunya, karena Orla bekerja sama dengan peri klan Dubhlain untuk menyerahkan batu Coillin ke tangan klan Dubhlain. Hukumannya? Menyerahkan diri ke klan Dubhlain dengan cara menikahi Liam, peri Pelindung klan Dubhlain.

Ternyata, Liam sang peri Pelindung dan calon suami Orla adalah orang dengan siapa Orla bekerja sama waktu mencuri batu Coillin. Selama menjalani masa pernikahannya dan tinggal di klan Dubhlain, Orla menyadari apa yang terjadi. Di Dubhlain, wanita tidak dibiarkan untuk memiliki pendapat atau berbuat sesuatu. Mereka selalu di bawah kendali sang suami atau laki laki / pasangannya. Inilah yang membuat Orla sebal setengah mati dan bertekad untuk merubahnya...

Perjuangan Orla awalnya ditentang semua pihak, termasuk suaminya dan malah mendapat cibiran dari para wanita klan Dubhlain. Orla pantang menyerah. Dan di tengah ketidakseimbangan dunia (karena hilangnya Batu Dearran dan berpindah tempatnya batu Coillin) perlahan tapi pasti, para wanita Dubhlain menyadari bahwa untuk menyelamatkan mereka dan anak-anak, para wanita tidak bisa tinggal diam begitu saja. Mereka mulai bisa menerima Orla, bahkan mau berjuang bersama Orla.

Dari buku ketiga ini saya jadi lebih tau tentang latar belakang serial ini. Ceritanya, batu Coilin (batu perkasa/pria) ditempatkan di klan Tuatha yang notabene klan peri wanita, untuk memberikan dampak kemaskulinan pada klan Tuatha. Sebaliknya, batu Dearran (batu wanita) ditempatkan di klan peri pria Dubhlain untuk lebih melembutkan para pria Dubhlain. Jadinya ya gitu pas batu Coilin dicuri dan dibawa ke klan Dubhlain, peri peri pria Dubhlain malah makin ganas.

Tapi di sini terkuak juga misteri tentang asal usul Harry -tokoh pria di buku yang kedua. Malah saya sempat mengira, Harry dan Sorcha akan memerintah kerajaan Dubhlain, sementara Orla menjadi Ratu Tuatha dan Liam pendampingnya.

It might be better rating if I read it in English. But unfortunatelly I got this book from a sale and I already read the 1st and 2nd books so I feel compelled to read the final book (yeah, thats me, sucker for series)

The story is really boring. I dont think the heroine and hero (Orla and Liam) have enough chemistry to live up the story. All that they do are arguing and make love. I cant have the feeling and reason why these two can fallen in love. It just feel so shallow.

Nevertheless, I finally finished this series and now can move on to anothers.

Dibaca sebelum punya akun Goodreads & pinjam di taman bacaan dekat kampus/rumah. Tentu saja ga inget ceritanya ya Bestie :') . Salah satu novel pararom lini Harlequin Nocturne yang dibaca (sekarang sih udah ga ada lininya, sayang banget)

Short, quick read with a continuation of the Daughters of Myth. It is the story of Orla who is the youngest daughter of the Fairy Queen. She is punished and sent to marry the enemies clan.

A fairly predictable ending. I would like to have seen more depth to the characters. A nice series and story line, but needed a bit more development. As if she was just trying to get to the end.
