In Resistance, I met twins Kyrin and Kaden and also Jayce who is half Ryrik. I am happy to say that I was excited to find a series where the characters charmed their way into my heart, and the plot kept me guessing what would happen next.

Reading was a perfect way to ignore cold symptoms as I entered another world where believing in Elom is a crime, where a resistance is forming, and where giants, dragons, and valor still exist. Being down with a cold is no fun, but the bright side was that only thing I felt like doing for a week and a half was reading. My husband and I started on the series just as I was coming down with a nasty cold. Knight before which also meant that I had never read the first four books.

The trouble was that I hadn’t ever read anything by Jaye L. I just love her attitude when she's around Goler, and her strength and spirit to go on with her act even when someone she loves is in danger.A month ago, I volunteered to be a reviewer for Bitter Winter, the 5th book in a Christian fantasy series called Ilyon Chronicles by Jaye L. She has quite an attitude, and though she doesn't go into battle, she's willing to hide fugitives who are being persecuted for their faith (a faith she shares). I LOVED Lady Anne, too, and for the same reasons. She stands strong for what she believes in, was willing to be executed for her faith rather than give it up. The second book even says that she is feminine, yet she likes to hunt and can gut a deer no problem. She doesn't WANT to hurt anyone, but she won't hesitate to shoot an arrow through you if you're hurting her friends. I think a warrior maiden that carries a sword and fights in battle, or can have her bow out and an arrow through ten enemies in a flash can be a lady, too. This always makes me a little frustrated. The problem is that I'm seeing a rise of these strong, fighter-girls who know what they believe in and stand true to it.and they're almost always very boy-ish and un-feminine, almost crude sometimes. I've noticed an annoying trend in action/adventure/fantasy/sci-fi lately. I've had my mom write out all my school assignments for the week, and I'm working hard to get it all done before Friday so I can have it free for an Ilyon binge!!! Do you know what time exactly the book will release on Kindle? I've had it pre-ordered for almost 2 months!

Especially when they're by a fellow homeschooler!! I LOVE your books, Jaye!! It's so awesome to read good, clean books that are Christ-centered and still well-written. OH WOW! JUST 1 MORE DAY TO WAIT!!!! *screams*
