DirectedScion AAAAAA!!! urg..... such good writing, but I ABSOLUTELY DETEST AND DESPISE AND LOATHE AXIS SUNSOAR!!!! I would use much stronger language, but I don't swear and I'd get busted, anyway, you get my point? I like Drago though! I heart him! She likes to have a lot of heartbreak and violent relationships, it rather bothers me because I'm the storybook ending type of gal.
Oh my friggin gawd, I HATE Axis, Azhure, and Caelum. Love Faraday, love Drago. Caelum does get better in the 2nd book of the 2nd trilogy, but GAWD I hated him! And Axis was such a JERK to Faraday! Ugh. And he and Azhure (Spoiler if you haven't finished Wayfarer Redemption, hilite to read) become friggin GODS?! And Faraday dies for Axis, but...UGH! (End spoiler)
The books rocked, but I could really kill Axis. What a twit.

Mmkay, anyone who doesn't like spoilers and hasn't read this series: dfon't read farther than this.
I got Enchanter, the second book in the Wayfarer Redemption series, on Wednesday and just got the chance to start it. I got fifty pages through before I decided it was boring and I wanted to know what happened with Axisd and Faraday and if Borneheld got killed. So I flipped to a random page and the dialogue was something about how Belial was in love with Azhure (didn't she smack him really hard in the head the first time they met?) and she couldn't love him back because she was in love with Axis and pregnant with his child. My reaction: O.O What the ******** happened to Farday?! And then I skipped to near the end (ooo, bad, aren't I?) and Faraday freaking leaves? I can understand her sentiments, but... what the hell? My opinion, currently: the entire first book was a lie. I'm happy that Borneheld died, yes, but the entire thing with Azhure and Axis just killed my enjoyment in that part.
And all of this makes me seem like a touchy little brat about books. Well, I am. And I freely admit that. I hate when characters suddenly change for no apparent reason, going completely against what was previously established for them. I can think of two other examples of it, and one of those books I'm still in the middle of and the other I've stopped liking the series. I'm extremely touchy about books. Besides, I like Faraday a lot more than I like Azhure.

I guess I'm gonna try and sort of...resurrect this thread. I don't know if I'm spoiling anything, but these books are so old now that I don't think it matters. If you care, don't read further.
First : I really like Sara Douglass. I think she's a brilliant and fascinating author and she has enthralled me for a long time.
Second : Sorry Faraday lovers, but I really do like Azhure (in fact I have practice arrows that I designed after hers! ^^'') I still like Faraday, but let's face it, she gets Drago in the end and he's a sweetheart, yeah? The only thing I think Azhure really failed in was parenting. She favored one child (bad parenting), she ignored the rest of them (bad parenting) and she opted to sacrifice her youngest in order to get her long-dead mother back (really bad parenting), but hey, nobody's perfect, right?
And I hope no one blames her for her husband and the father of her children being a man-whore and not knowing what he wants, or for being dumb enough to suggest that the two women share him. - -' (What a..well..how typical for a man.)
Besides, it's really very satisfying to see Axis get so worked up when Drago starts courting Faraday. That was a good chapter for me. biggrin
What I would like to know (since most of who have read this or posted have at least tried to read her stuff) is what other series besides Troy Game have you guys read? I only have the third Troy Game book, and I'm just now getting interested, but what about the Crucible Trilogy? Sara had more fun writing those books than any others, according to her website.
Has anyone read her single books? And are they any good?
And what do people think about Ms. Douglass using such heavy religious themes in her books? Is it a turn off or does it make the books more interesting?
Also, before I run, why aren't there guilds for this woman if so many people seem to love her stuff? crying That's what I was originally looking for when I found this guild.
