Kurzbeschreibung
When a routine hanging goes wrong and a murderer somehow survives the noose, the man announces he is an immortal. And not just any immortal, but Cayal, the Immortal Prince, hero of legend, thought to be only a fictional character. To most he is a figure out of the Tide Lord Tarot, the only record left on Amyrantha of the mythical beings whom fable tells created the race of half-human, half-animal Crasii, a race of slaves.
Arkady Desean is an expert on the legends of the Tide Lords so at the request of the King's Spymaster, she is sent to interrogate this would-be immortal, hoping to prove he is a spy, or at the very least, a madman.
Though she is set the task of proving Cayal a liar, Arkady finds herself believing him, against her own good sense. And as she begins to truly believe in the Tide Lords, her own web of lies begins to unravel...

A Great Start
19. Juli 2009
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Jennifer Fallon has been rather hit and miss with me. I first read her Second Sons trilogy and to this day I still think it is one of the best trilogies that I have ever purchased. Because I liked The Lion of Senet so much I gobbled up her six Hythrun Chronicles books. I didn't enjoy that series nearly as much as Second Sons so I was hesitant to pick up the Immortal Prince right away. Well I am very glad that I took the chance. The plot is very good and without giving too much away I like the fact that your not sure if the main character is a good guy or not. Fallon does a great job of mixing action and politics with a romantic twist. I can't wait for the next Tide Lords book.

promising start, bitterly disappointing conclusion
28. Juni 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
While this series has a delightful and intriguing premise, that of the interactions of a group of magic wielding immortals with the mortal realm they inhabit, the execution leaves a lot to be desired. This, the first novel in a 4 book series, is by far the best, introducing characters, and setting the stage for the conflicts, both political and personal, to come. It's reasonably well written, nicely paced, and full of interesting characters. It makes you want to buy the next book.
Don't.
In fact, don't buy this one.
The series goes downhill fast. Characters become wooden, the same scenes are replayed time and time again. Do we really need a recap of the previous chapter at the beginning of the next one? By the time the third book rolls around, plot devices are becoming fantastical to the point of absurdity, and obvious solutions are ignored.
The last novel is abysmal. Fallon's prose has become hackneyed, characters repeat the same lines at infinitum, plot devices and "coincidences" become fully unbelievable, and the resolution is a let down of epic proportions.
So while you may enjoy the first book, you might allow yourself to get hooked, resulting in a waste of forty dollars, or however much you spend on all four books.
So do yourself a favour, and skip this series. Her other books are much better, and there are many other authors out there that you will enjoy more.

Amazing new epic
24. Februar 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
The prolog didn't do much for me, but the story, went it started to unroll, blew me away. The Tide Lords are immortals that can feel the ebb and flow of the power of the sun, giving them insane power while the tide is in. But they have to spend centuries hiding their nature while the tide is out. Strong characters and constant twists makes this another classic for Fallon.
