I’m so enjoying watching Ana grow in this amazing series. That’s written with exciting and vivid imagining and attention grabbing concepts that just bring each character to life. Ana has to contend with magic, danger and adventure at every turn, while have a touch of romance along the way. This one had my emotions all over place, while answering some of my much needed questions, but left me with a few more. Can’t wait to see what comes next.
Ana is still struggling with her powerful destiny, she is not quite ready to accept all the responsibly of it, and still a bit torn between Jaden and Dohlan. Will she pull it all together or be destroyed by her enemies? I enjoyed this addition to this interesting series, and learning new things about the history of others and Ana, but I think I would have like Ana to have less doubts over things. I will have to read the next book to find out what happens next.
I am voluntarily reviewing a copy I received, and giving my thoughts and opinions on it.
Great continuation of the series. The characters and world are all described so vividly that you feel like you are there. You also get to see Ana growing and changing as the story goes along, which I like.
This is another great installment in this series. Anala, along with her “family” are making their way to Madame Marrouske, the mystic who has trained all the previous Balance Bringers. Evil tries to stop them at every step, but Anala is learning more about her abilities and can help in many ways. Even when they do get to the Mystic, she will still have training to complete. I am really looking forward to the next book.
Debra Kristi’s writing style is unique on the way she explains everything. The world and its people are very vivid in your mind. I was disappointed in this book because it left you hanging on what happened with some of the characters. What happen to Izzy? How did Krista handle the merge. Plus a few other things. I will say you will want to read this book and follow Ana on her journey to the Mystic. What will happen with her group? How will she fight to survive? How will she handle the the men in her life? What forces will she come up against? Can she survive the transitions? This book will not disappoint.
Fun magical adventure! For some reason, I was thinking this was a conclusion for Ana’s story; probably because the next book is a prequel for this series, but Ana’s story isn’t over yet. This one does end on a cliffhanger. I’m excited to see where the story goes. I’d definitely recommend starting at the beginning of the series before starting this book.
I’m loving the action and adventure Ana and her crew find themselves in. Plus, the magical world and elements are lots of fun. The action and adventure are what keep me entertained. In this book, the journey continues for the group as they make their way through Hiddenkel to find the mystic that supposedly can help answer Ana’s questions about being the Balance Bringer. Her murderous aunt makes the journey difficult by sending her dangerous minions after Ana and her group. I’m still having a hard time connecting with the characters. I’m tired of them not getting things that seem so obvious to me; makes me think they are morons at times. Also, Ana hasn’t grown enough for me since book 1; this is book 3, and she still doesn’t trust in her gut, she’s still being dishonest, she still doesn’t believe in herself, and she is still being a bit whiny. I want to see her owning her powers and her decisions, so I hope that happens more in the coming books. I like Ana still, but I’m just getting a bit annoyed at her. I’m still warming up to Jaden too. He’s bit morose, but he’s getting better. It was interesting learning a bit more about his past; I didn’t really care for some of his actions in the past, but it gave a little background into why Jaden is the way he is. So yeah, interesting and entertaining story with likable characters, but moments that can be annoying and the story moves a bit slow at times. Still excited to read the next books; especially with that cliffhanger!
What a fantastic series this is turning out to be! A series that is so addictive with its awesome storyline and fantastic characters! I love the world building , the continued growth of the characters and its plot. A well written, gripping supernatural, fantasy coming of age tale with a kick ass female lead that will lead on a journey like no other and is full of adventure, magic and a touch of romance!
