*Review based on an ARC copy given in exchange for an Honest review*When I finished reading LADY FALLS, the first book in Renee Bernard's new trilogy, the very first thought in my head was "This is BRILLIANT", followed closely by "How the heck am I going to write a review that doesn't give everything away?"(If you're wondering what could possibly be so hard about that, then you haven't read this book yet.)Since I loathe being spoiled, especially when the surprise is so...surprising!, I will try to keep this as general as possible with it being stressed right now that you simply have to read this book!I was particularly impressed with Ms. Bernard's very beautiful and lyrical writing that brought to mind the very best of the Bard's most romantic prose--even as the characters were quoting the man himself in certain key scenes. Splendidly done!As for the story and characters, I again must hold back as every aspect should be savored with fresh eyes, but I will say that Raven Wells steals the show with her vibrancy and boldness despite her painful beginnings, but you can sense the steel spine beneath, that springs from the roots of those beginnings.To the impressively talented Ms. Bernard I have to say, though this review is much shorter than it could be, my immense pleasure in reading this book is completely without bounds. I CANNOT wait to read the next chapter in Raven's saga and I mean that literally...gimme gimme gimme!
