Valley of Silence Nora Roberts
I have just finished reading, Morrigans Cross, Dance of the Gods and Valley of Silence one after the other over the last 5 days. I recommend that is the way to read this trilogy from Nora Roberts because they need to be read that way. All wonderful books but really just one story in 3 very long chapters. As always full of marvellous characters Hoyt, Glenna, Blair, Larkin, Moira and my favourite Cian, although I developed a very soft spot for Larkin to. I wasn't sure about Hoyt in Morrigans Cross but about half way through he grew on me. Her descriptive writing is second to none and you can really feel all the places these six people who form the circle needed to destroy the evil of Lilith and save the world from the vampires arrive in; from medieval Ireland to modern day Ireland and modern day America each is perfectly believeable and all the little extra touches of how Larkin and Moira adjust to showers and modern day plumbing and Coke! Not only the six main characters but the supporting characters or so well written you can't help but put a face to them. Nora Roberts never ceases to amaze me with the diversity of stories she is able to write be they in the past, present or future always entertaining, gripping and so very readable! I would like her publishers to publish, sometime in the future, an omnibus of all three stories, mind you if done in larger print only weighlifters would be able to read it! I feel this book Valley of Silence is probably the best of all three 'chapters' of this amazing story but all three need to be read and together in the right order as I have said previously. Once again thank you Nora for writing another 'keeper' for the bookshelves.

Fantasy at it's finest.
Really, I'm reviewing all three books in the Circle Trilogy here.

As a relative newcomer to fantasy, books like these ones make me want to carry on with that genre. All 3 books contain romance, action, humour, heartache and happiness. The characters are likeable and make you really feel for them.

This final book is a wonderful ending to a brilliant series and I highly recommend them all.

another fine trilogy from Nora - 4.5 stars from me
I have just finished "valley of silence", the third in the trilogy of her circle series. This is a new area for NR, she herself is a wizard with the pen & constantly gives new exciting & often very different novels to read. The circle trilogy - about vampires & gods & timetravelling is something very different & when i read the first installment " morrigan's cross", i wasn't entirely sure i enjoyed it - although i couldn't wait for the next chapter in the lives of the chosen six.
Hoyt, Cian,Glenna,Blair,Moira & Larkin have all been chosen by the goddess Morrigan to fight the evil Vampire queen Lilith & to save the earth & all other future worlds. We travel through centuries & mythical lands, we encounter a sorcerer, a modern day witch, a demon hunter, a shape shifter, a queen & a vampire who fights against the evil doers.
If you can get past the paranormal & magical part of the story, then it is an enjoyable series. I don't think NR takes her self seriously in the trilogy as in other novels, such as "the key trilogy or the in the garden trilogy", she really has stretched her imagination & is quite tongue-in-cheek in quite a bit of the series - particulary "valley of silence", but none the less, i really did enjoy the series.
If you are a dire hard fan of her contemporary books, then these stories, may not be for you.
I want to give this a four & a half, it's by no means tripe, but it is a far cry from what i'm used to & is quite difficult to get your teeth into
