Can Sini keep her past from destroying everyone’s future?Sini has finally found a family with the Keepers.After escaping from a childhood on the street and years of slavery, Sini’s new life as a Keeper should be idyllic. But she can’t shake the feeling she just doesn’t belong.Not only because she’s the first female Keeper in centuries. Her magic is too different to be useful. And Lukas, her … centuries. Her magic is too different to be useful. And Lukas, her foster brother who loved and protected her from the worst ravages of slavery, is now being accused of terrible things.

As much as Sini doesn’t want to believe it, the evidence is growing that Lukas is amassing an army along the southern border.

Siege of Shadows by J.A. Andrews is the final installment of The Keeper Chronicles. Sini came from the streets and is now with the Keepers, but she feels she doesn’t fit in. Will she be able to find a place to call home?
J.A. Andrews’ storytelling is delightful, her characters alive, and her world vivid. Andrews has a unique way of bringing her characters forth and bringing them to life, and making you care for these people as if they are your family and friends. I don’t usually get so emotionally attached, but Andrews’ characters had my emotions running all over the place. I laughed, cried, got angry, and hopeful. This story has everything a great fantasy novel should have.
I love this trilogy so much that it has a place right next to my Tolkien books on my shelves, and there is no higher honor that I could give Andrews’ story than that. This is a clean fantasy and a must read. I highly recommend Andrews’ works. You will not be disappointed.
“I am on the side of truth and right and goodness.”
“Everything is light. Everything that lives glows with it.It is the source of all vitae, life.”
There’s a layer of complexity to the story line that not only keeps readers guessing, but lends to a closer examination of the emotional and spiritual stakes in life choices. It’s about how far you might push yourself, and how much of your own humanity you might have to sacrifice to save those you love. This story is more like people in real life than typical fictional characters. As the story comes to it’s conclusion, we find ourselves questioning our earlier judgements. Are the good guys really that good? Are the bad guys really that bad? Or is everyone really more alike than different, separated only by matters of degree, on the same scale of good versus bad. I found myself wanting to slow down, almost saddened by the impending end. This is where everything comes to its final, spectacular conslusion. I couldn’t conciliate sleep after finishing the book! It left me with a warm feeling, albeit the loss and sacrifices. It has been an overwhelming experience of hope, resilience, determination, faith in oneself to overcome the fears residing deep within. A thoughtful, captivating and fascinating read! My congratulations to JA Andrews for a magnificent trilogy!
Baby Elves!! Baby Elves with Shark Teeth!
Okay, so I have an unhealthy obsession with good old fashion elves. It’s probably what got me writing fantasy in the first place. So, having pointy-teethed elves running around and causing mischief just made teen-age me squeeze with joy.
What else can I say about this? It isn’t a typical trilogy in that every book is told by a different character and had different goals. The final villain didn’t seem any scarier than the first one. There are some connecting timeline/worldbuilding things, but it makes it feel like the books could all be read and taken on its own if you aren’t determined to binge them like I did.
I don’t know which one my favorite is…I liked them all for different reasons. They are getting all the stars I can give them.
This was the perfect ending to an emotionally charged series. Sini was the perfect keeper to bring their adventure to a close. She experiences so much growth through out this book. From a sheltered slave that follows directions, to a strong capable person.
The keepers are some of the most fascinating magical people I’ve had the pleasure of reading about. I love the complexity of each of them, and how they all have different strengths and weaknesses. I was so glad to read that the author is working on more stories from this world because i have so many more questions about all the other characters she introduced in these these books!
The different arcs of each character is really enthralling. I was sucked into each of their stories, feeling their hopes and fears, rooting for them the whole way. Many great developments woven into the plot. The final twist was fitting, yet unexpected. Left me feeling warm and fuzy after all the emotion that I had to endure lol
Fitting conclusion, absolutely love this series and this book.
