The conclusion to this exciting series…Another masterful story by the very talented Rue.
This is such a bittersweet moment. Over the last two years I feel I have gotten to know Flynn, Hazel, Po, and Zip. I have been a part of their lives, watching Flynn, Hazel and Po grow up and find their rightful places in their society. But with this last book in the series, the children are grown and have left their nests.
It has always been Flynn’s destiny to reunite the Book of Light and the Book of Shadow…to make that which is separate become one…to restore the Balance.
Flynn is now the High Priestess and her first command must be a declaration of war. It is now time for action.
Magdalena, the Shadow Witch, also prepares for war. She is ruthless, not caring if she has to kill her brother Rowan or her daughter Roselle to attain what she wants.
Action packed…suspenseful…mind boggling. I longed to know the fates of those I have come to know so well. Would Flynn and Hazel survive the battle? Will Po forever be denied the one he yearns for? And what of Flynn’s love for Rowan – can he be trusted? Who will he ultimately defend – his sister Magdalena or Flynn? So much hangs in the balance.
Thank you Rue for this awesome series. You told their stories magnificently. And now I must bid them farewell.
What can I say- Rue has done it again! This is such a top-notched series I rate it up with The Chronicles of Naria, Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. I know I’ll be rereading it again and again. The battle between good and evil is very real and these characters do personify both sides so well it’s uncanny.
I have been captivated by this series since the prequel The Courage of Kahu. Rue is a masterful story teller and I am so glad I fell under her spell with the first story. I have laughed, smiled and cried in this series and will no doubt do so again with each rereading of the series. That’s the thing with books you can revisit your friends (and make no mistake they are my friends) again and again. I love that about great stories that one can revisit them again and again whenever the opportunity presents itself.
I really do hope you will take a look at this series. It is for young and old alike. There is something for everyone in this series. Get caught up in the magic that is Rue. The pages fly by so fast it’s magical! That’s the mark of a great story teller -that the reader is captivated from the start by believable characters and the story line that holds the readers interest throughout all nine (including the prequel) in this series. That’s no small feat I can assure you.
Please give this series a try- you’ll be happy you did!!
Overall rating: 5
This series has been beyond amazing! The action in this book is off the charts! It goes beyond words to say these characters truly came to life! A plethora of unanswered questions meet resolution and emotions will run full course. Be ready for great happiness and deep sadness. A brilliant conclusion to this amazing series, but I can’t help but wish it could keep going! Very glad to add this series to my collection! All my reviews are always voluntarily written.
This book was an excellent way to end this series. I love when a book really wraps things up and doesn’t leave you needing answers that you will never get. This book really allowed us to see the woman and leader Flynn was always meant to be and really helped satisfy my need for a happy ending. I loved this book, this series, and this author! I would recommend this series to everyone!
