Cursed Children of Naor is the third in the series, but I have only read two of them. I found this one highly entertaining, and lost more than a little sleep while turning pages(electronically) later than I should have. As state in the description, there are three separate stories, each standing on it's own merit, while taking place in the same universe. The first takes place in a cold, forbidding north land, the second in a high mountainous region, and the last in a hot, arid and harsh desert land. Justyna's knowledge and description of these places are extensive and bring a realism not often found in fantasy. The setting are very important to the story lines, and are very much a character in their own right. The characters in each story are rich and deep, full of human foibles and failings and well as fortitude and heroism. There is plenty of action, violence, love and great story telling for anyone interested in the fantasy genre. These stories are definitely fantasy, but can be violent and tend to the horrific sometimes, and as I am a horror fan as well, I enjoy the juxtaposition. All in all, Cursed Children of Naor was a fun read and I highly recommend it.
