As much as I enjoyed <i>Daughter of the Blood</i> <b>I loved <i>Heir to the Shadows </i>even more</b>
Feeling Fictional
Bishop seems to delight in <b>turning fantasy conventions on their head</b> . . . <b>darkly opulent, often exotic</b>
Locus
It really is <b>stunning in its complexity</b>, so <b>wonderful to read</b>, as far as dark fantasy goes <b>you won't find much better than this</b>

<b>a delight to read</b> . . . one of the few sequels I've come across that actually enhances the original book

<b>imaginative and sweeping</b>
Red Hot Books
The <b>fabulous talent</b> of Anne Bishop is showcased in <i>Heir to the Shadows </i>. . . Ms Bishop's <b>striking magical concepts</b> and <b>powerful images </b>are wonderfully leavened with <b>unexpected dash and humou</b>r, creating <b>an irresistible treat for fantasy fans</b>
Romantic Times
<p>All the elements that made the first book such <b>a gripping read</b> are present: <b>vivid and sympathetic characters</b>, a <b>fascinating and fully-realised magical system</b>. . .<b>lavish </b>and <b>sensuous descriptions</b>, and <b>interesting world-building</b> that <b>turns traditional gender roles</b> and <b>concepts of dominance and submission</b> on their heads . . . It's <b>a terrific read</b>, and I <b>highly recommend</b> both it and <i>Daughter of the Blood</i></p>

Daemon, Lucivar and Saetan <b>ooze more sex appeal</b> than any three fictional characters created in a very long time
