picture misleadingly shows 3 dolls where you get 2. Yes, I should have paid attentions and read the small print, but it is just wrong to post a pictures of 3 when you are selling 2 for the price. Period.

I apologize to anyone reading the previous review. The reveiw was intended for "Fireblood(Whispers of Mirrowen)". I didn't realize that I had Two books with similar titles. I have not yet read this other Fireblood. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks to "Horsegirl" for a nice catch.

I found Trickery to be pretty humorous.  You have a young female country bumpkin human that is an unlucky klutz type being sent to serve a bunch of godlings; I mean what could possibly go wrong  We also have 5 super godling brothers with various attitudes and abilities and mostly everyone is scared of them, for good reasons  Things get interesting when a klutz trips right into the middle of that, is not very good about keeping her mouth shut and flunked at being subservient; its a recipe for fun and games or just straight out mayhem.

So book one is a graphic novel?! Who would package a trilogy without three full books? Super frustrating, now I have to buy the first book separate. Scam package deal imo

Be aware the book cover says clearly volume 1, but it is clearly not volume 1, it is volume 2  un amour de Swan, the people who printed the book cover made a mistake and now try to get ride of their stock:(

Both part 1 and 2 are terrible. Disney did not follow the historical accounts of pocahontas, by the way didn't you people know that she married John Rolfe, it is a true story. In history John Smith had no part between Rolfe and Pocahontas. Terrible, terrible movies especially part 2. I might give part one 2 or 3 stars.

To the author:

My gripe is the description that says Book 1. Generally, Book 1 is understood to be a standalone book with multiple books in a series  one book for each brothers story for instance. In this case, it should have been labeled as Series 1 or Part 1.

About the book:

The is not a standalone and you're left with a cliffhanger. The description of the book does state that its not a standalone, that youll need to read the series, but it doesnt tell you how many more are in the series.  Tell us its a trilogy; tell us this is 1 of 6. Tell us how much time we have to invest to get to the ending. If I want a soap opera, Ill turn on the TV, in a book I want to know where the ending is. But, that could just be me

The story starts strong with the h in a dire situation where your emotions are tugged  at first you think you're reading the wrong genre, not a romance, but its a romance. I don't want to ruin it for anyone, but you're left wondering if she could have helped herself sooner using her secret  why didn't she? And why did she choose one secret over the other to use. The following pages leading to the H showing up on the scene and later at her apartment never explain it, so you're left wondering.

I did jump to the ending  cliffhanger. As transitions go for leading into the next Series of the story, not bad at all, it was smooth. Ive read cliffhanger endings where I wanted to throw something at the author because it was like crashing into a wall at 100mph. This wasn't like that, so I don't feel the urge to throw something, but its still a cliffhanger with unanswered questions and no conclusion between the h and H. In fact, that in itself is one of the cliffhangers leaving doubts about which direction their relationship will go in.

The writing is fine, didn't notice any glaring problems. In some areas the pace a little slow,  others steady.

Im undecided about continuing the story with the next part in the series  mainly because I don't know where the ending is. This book description doesnt tell me anything. Do I need to purchase two more or ten more in the series to reach the ending?

I wrote this for book 1 as well:
I just don't know what to feel. I'm in the middle of book 2, I was hoping the feeling after book 1 would go away. I don't understand how people can like the female lead. In book 1 she talks/thinks an overweight womans thighs looks like beached whales, she has to turn away so she doesn't see it. In book 2 (and I'm only at chapter 19), someone wanting to have sex with someone with a disability is called a deviant. She also calls insomnia harmless. I'm deeply offended actually, and will return both books.

I enjoyed the first two books of the series very much, was disappointed in the 3rd.  Didn't involve the original characters like I thought it would for being a series.  JL

I was so disappointed in this book.  It says it is book three but when it contained stories from book one and two I just was angry.  I may not go on to read the rest of the series because of this.  In the very least I will read the negative reviews to make sure I am not paying twice for the same stories.

I have just fwded a review on 'Lord of Scoundrels' by Loretta Chase  and realize I have included some incorrect information can U please delete the following: my introduction to Loretta Chase was  "The Hunting Season' a  2 story novella with Cathy Maxwell" this information is incorrect. It should read 'my introduction to Loretta Chase was a four story book called Three Weddings and a Kiss - Ms Chase's story 'The Mad Earl' was superb!

Trickster's Choice does take me back to the "good old days" of Alanna's time, but something is lacking in this book. It's a twisting, confusing mass of "raka" and "laurin" glob that keeps growing and growing. Aly's character is likeable enough, but her power is sloppy. She can't wield a sword like her mother and doesn't have a take-charge attitude....yet. I loved Dove (Dovalyn) because she's that kind of gal that you have to watch out for; intelligent, cunning, and will eventually come to save everyone's backs. (More my cup of tea!) Also, the whole reunion of people from all of Tamora's previous Tortall books was just plain....MUSHY. Gathering everyone from Numair, Daine, Buri, Kel, and Raoul together...even FAITHFUL (only that bit I liked, heh) was a bit too much. It was over done, in my opinion. Their stories are done with, their tales are part of Tortall's history...but now a new history has to be set down, and that is of Aly's fight to save the family she has wagered to protect.
There are elements to the character of Aly that are  missing. Since we're meeting her now, without having a background on her from any other book, we need a foundation to start on. The foundation Tamora gives is not a solid one...it lacks and she makes up for it by placing certain actions/events/things in places, as if to explain her character as the book goes along. But the placement is awkward. It should have been done at the beginning of the book!
The first book is a slow-paced, half-adventurous jab, which is sort of good because I realize that the second one will be twice better, as it will have to explain and unfurl the tangle that has stacked up in the first one.
Trickster's Choice is a good read, but I think (and I'm hoping) the second book will be much better - with more twists and turns than this dragging first book.

I bought this thinking it was the next in a series. It Is NOT! This is just the first story that appears in the book No. 1, the Undercity, published by itself. ARGH! I enjoyed the story very much, but don't care for the false advertisement that this was book No. 2. Gripe, gripe, gripe! That's why less stars.
