It began as a witch-hunt. But the Master Inquisitor's plans to eliminate all traces of female power in the world have expanded to crushing the Sylvalan barons who oppose him-and to destroying the wellspring of magic in the Mother's Hills.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I enjoyed this series, although not as much as The Black Jewel series. I have to admit, I was not exactly thrilled with the character development of Lucian and Diana. In the beginning, they seemed childish and selfish, but with hopes of redemption and learning. Instead, they turned even more awful. I was glad to see the balancing out with a "bad" witch (Jean) but honestly, her appearance seemed to be rather formulaic. Morag and her transformation were a wonderful plot twist. Overall, I'd give it three stars.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Ann Bishop’s Tir Alainn trilogy is neatly wrapped up in this third installment. The House of Gaian brings back all the major players from the previous two installments. Diana the Lady of the Moon has been rejected by the essence of her power and a new Lady of the Moon has been chosen. One who will fight the inquisitors to her last breath. She is joined by the Huntress, Muse, Bard and the Gatherer in a final push to drive out the inquisitors and restore magic to the land. The Fae are forced by the Huntress and Lady of the Moon to take ownership of their actions in the human realm and fight to protect the witches they have taken for granted for so long. But Master Inquisitor’s evil is growing and even the combined forces of the Fae, witches and humans in the West may not be enough to stop him from destroying the female aspect of magic and condemning all women and those who love them to servitude or death.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The conclusion of the Tir Alainn Trilogy. With the Hunter beside them and the Gatherer riding along, the Bard and the Muse are attempting to rally the Fae to defend the witches and save the Old Places that provide Tir Alainn with an earthly connection. But they may have awakened more than they know. The Huntress Dianna has lost her position as the Lady of the Moon, and a new Huntress walks among them. Will her power rend their alliance asunder? Or will it rally the Fae enough to defeat teh armies the Master Inquisitor is sending against them. Read and find out!I wouldn't recommend starting with this installment, but if you start at the beginning, it's definitely worthwhile.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5If I remember nothing else about this book, everyone's favorite exclamation "Mother's Tits!," will stick with me for a long time
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A solid trilogy set around the Fae realm. This last book really zips along and takes you for an enjoyable ride.
