Explanation Concering Books Hawksong (The Kiesha'ra #1)
DANICA SHARDAE IS an avian shapeshifter, and the golden hawk’s form in which she takes to the sky is as natural to her as the human one that graces her on land. The only thing more familiar to her is war: It has raged between her people and the serpiente for so long, no one can remember how the fighting began. As heir to the avian throne, she’ll do anything in her power to stop this war—even accept Zane Cobriana, the terrifying leader of her kind’s greatest enemy, as her pair bond and make the two royal families one. Trust. It is all Zane asks of Danica—and all they ask of their people—but it may be more than she can give.

I had high hopes for this book: there is so much potential in the world and story outlined by the summary. Instead, all I got was the typical story of "forbidden love". *yawn*The world imagined by the author is definitely colorful, but I feel it's unreasonable (unrealistic). For example, if the leaders of both parties in the war feel that they don't want the war, then how the earth did they manage to drag it out for hundreds of years? Also, no leaders in any war ever believe their own propagandaI love love love this book and am officialy hooked on it.It is about two different race of shifters,the avians and the serpiente.Both of whom have been at war with each other for so long.A gesture of mercy from Danica to one of the cobriana heirs leads to peace negotiationsBut not everyone is accepting of the peace negoatiations.They still thirst for blood.Promises to remain loyal and follow their leaders without question gets broken.Is peace really that hard to stomach?What happens when
Amelia Atwater-Rhodes is only 21 and has already published seven books. Her first book IN THE FOREST OF THE NIGHT was written when she was only 13. Every one of her books is a treat. Though marketed as Young Adult, there is nothing childish about subject matter or the writing. The lyrical quality and maturity of her writing belies her age or lack of experience.HAWKSONG is the start of a series about shapeshifters. Dancia is an avian shapeshifter, heir to the throne, whose people are at war with
Danica Shardae is an avian-human shapeshifter, a hawk, and she is to be the leader of her people - their Tuuli Thea. The avians have been at war for many generations now with their enemies the serpiente (who take snake form). Its been so long that none of them can remember a time without war and no one can remember the reason for the war (except to say that either avians or serpiente arent trustworthy). Danica loses many of her people (including her brother) to the fighting and she spends time
When people ask me what my favorite book is my mind immediately flits to this title.A rich, well-written and UNIQUE fantasy that absolutely captivates you.

The main character is strong and beautiful. And the romance is raw and real.I could give it no less then 5/5 stars, and if it was
Brimming with magic and mayhem, Hawksong is a fantasy novel that is both intriguing and fable-like in nature. Using its diverse set of characters, the story teaches its readers the importance of establishing peace between all peoples - finding common ground despite differences in culture, beliefs and abilities. With a dash of romance that in no way overpowers the beautifully constructed plot, Hawksong is a mix of many genres. It manages to incorporate them all successfully and in a way that both
The cover...sucks. Just sayin....This book was a book I couldn't put down and read within 24 hours. I really enjoyed the world building, shape shifters. I loved the sworn enemies. I loved the main character Danica.Danica was awesome because she is more "human" than the rest of her Hawk clan, but has been raised to conceal and control any and all emotions. I liked how she allowed those emotions to slip with her friend Rei. I loved that her character was slow to melt toward the Serpentine clan. I
