If possible, I would have put a 4.9 only because I thought there were some loose ends that weren't copleted at the end, though I have a feeling that I probably just missed something in the speed read that I did. (I read it in about five to six hours the day I got it, no break but supper and a little laundry) So it probably should get a five.

This, however, had to be one of my favorite lines. Just the lines, no descriptions.

I actually greatly liked Isle of Fire, as I knew I would. In some cases, I think that Isle of Swords was slightly better than Isle of Fire, and then other times I thought that Isle of Fire was better than Isle of Swords. Really for me they're nearly evenly matched. This was a great sequal to Isle of Swords and absolutely did not let me down.

He he, I just realized while slowly re-reading Isle of Fire, that I read something too fast in Isle of Swords and that thing actually helped me guess part of the ending. I have to say that IoF has one of the most satisfying endings I've read in a really long time.

I still need to read IoS.
WE STOLE THE EAGLE FROM THE AIR FORCE, THE ANCHOR FROM THE NAVY AND THE ROPE FROM THE ARMY.

ON THE SEVENTH DAY WHILE GOD RESTED, WE OVERRAN HIS PERIMETER, STOLE THE GLOBE AND WE'VE BEEN RUNNING THE WHOLE SHOW EVER SINCE.

WE LIVE LIKE SOLDIERS, TALK LIKE SAILORS, AND SLAP THE HELL OUT OF BOTH OF THEM.


WARRIORS BY DAY, LOVERS BY NIGHT, PROFESSIONALS BY CHOICE, AND MARINES BY THE GRACE OF GOD.

I have! For those who haven't I totally advise you to do it.
1.<>< I will never deny my King ><>
2.There are passages and doors and realms that lie unseen. There are roads both wide and narrow and no avenue between. Doors remain closed for those who in sad vanity yet hide. Yet when belief is chosen, the key appears inside. What is lived now will soon pass, and what is not will come to be. The Door Within must open, for those to truly see. Do you see? Believe and enter.
3.Ye have come to Falon's Stair, but enter not ye unaware, for better men than thee have fled. They that entered soon were dead. The darkness spins your mind with fright, as you descend into her night. Beyond the steps the labyrinth waits, with dangers untold and treasures great. Know ye this as ye travel the maze: lest ye fall under Falon's gaze, there is one path alone to the light of day. And death will come if ye lose your way.
4. Isaiah 6:8 - Then I heared the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?" Then I said, "Here am I. Send Me!"

I just finished IoF and loved it! I thought there might have been a some holes between scenes but I probably just missed some things. But wow, the suspense throughout the book is intense!

I thought it was highly entertaining! Could have used more St. Pierre though...lol :D
"But come; though some wounds do not heal, let us seek the light within the castle of our King. There we may find comfort and peace in times of trouble." ~Nock~

"He was tall as a young tree, lithe, immensely strong, able swiftly to draw a great war-bow and shoot down a Nazgul, endowed with the tremendous vitality of Elvish bodies, so hard and resistant to hurt that he went only in light shoes over rock or through snow, the most tireless of all the Fellowship."
