To Purchase |
With the realm under threat and an ailment sweeping the land, the last remaining hope may come from an unlikely source—a young, orphaned servant with untested and untrained abilities.
My Thoughts:
I am not really much of a fantasy reader. But I have been
reading the Legends of the Realm from
the first book, so I was interested in how the series would end, especially
since the second book left off with a lot unresolved and beloved characters’
lives hanging in the balance. We do get a glimpse of what had happened to Hiram
and Shona is communicating with a young orphan girl by the name of Dally. Dally
is a special person who lives a sort of Cinderella life, but she keeps her
spirits up by remembering the love her family had for her and knowing that she is
meant for more.
There are plenty of battles, magic, and character growth as
we get to know new and secondary characters. One important lesson I gleamed was
how the village people ignored the darkness and danger that was encroaching
ever further into their town. They did not want to acknowledge it nor did they
want to deal with it so they pretended it did not exist. I thought that was a
great lesson for today’s day and age.
I often times get lost in fantasy stories but this one was
engaging and simply enough told that it held my interest. I would recommend for
older teens and up.
I received a complimentary copy of this novel. I was not
required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
