I read the Amaranth Enchantment and I liked the premise, but I felt there was something lacking. It might have been just a little to young for me. I haven't read any of the others though. I'll have to give them a try.
I really liked Amaranth Enchantment. Have you read Wings?
I read Wings and I liked it a lot, but it took me until the 4th chapter to actually like it. Thought it was way to short. I'm getting really tired of sequels.
