Jill WilliamsonOregonAge: 25-34Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Liked it!December 3, 2011Jill WilliamsonOregonAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 4Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Forbidden, Books of Mortals Series #1, Hardcover.Rom, an obedient member of society, becomes an instant outlaw when he comes to possess a vial of blood and ancient letter, given to him by an old man his father knew. In a society devoid of all emotion by fear, Rom is scared of being killed. He flees to his friend, Avra, but she is afraid as well. Rom replays the words of the old man over and over in his mind, and seeing no other way, drinks a portion of blood from the vial. And becomes human again, fully feeling all things. Avra takes some blood as well, as do three others, until the blood is gone. This is enough to spread a kernel of truth, that life in Byzantium is not the way it was meant to be, which is enough to start a rebellion.
Liked it! The storyworld and history were well-thought out and unique. The plot was engaging with plenty of mystery revealed in bits to keep me guessing. There were some shocking surprises and I look forward to discovering how those are worked out. I enjoyed Rom's character and Feyn too. The bad guy has a lot of sensual, violence in his point of view scenes, so that is a caution for younger readers. Dekker and Lee have crafted a wonderful start to this series. I can't wait to read more of this tale. -

That is what makes his writing so good. He pulls you in and keeps your interest. I am going back and reading some of his old writings to catch up. I would recommend his books, as a matter of fact I have loaned his books to friends. Looking forward to the next one.
