find the strength to finish it and restore the balance by restoring the magical
shield that once protected the world from the darkness or will she fall as
darkness spreads? Get ready, the end is coming and it’s one you won’t want to
miss out on.
WOW is all I can say as I read the final book
in the Chronicles of the One trilogy and am just blown away at how the author,
Nora Roberts, tied up all the loose threads and formed a story that just blows
you away. With action & adventure, romance, mystery and more, Ms. Roberts
delivers a spellbinding story that just left me staring into nothing once I
finished it. It was that damn good. If you haven’t read this trilogy before, I
caution you to start with book one, Year One and go from there. The second and
final books continue the story line and you will be lost a little as past events
are mentioned a few times from the past two books in book three. THE RISE OF
MAGICKS is one hell of a finish and one I devoured within a day. It kept my
attention and left me smiling, crying and more. I am in awe over Ms. Roberts
foray into the dystopian/postapocalyptic genre and she literally made it her
own in these three books. Such a different thing from her to her readers but
one she did amazingly well. I was just blown away with all three books.
THE RISE OF MAGICKS gives us a few years after Of Blood and Bone ended
and the final battle is looming between Fallon and the light and the darkness
that cover the world. With nonstop action, characters that just blow you away
old and new, a story that just flows so smoothly, you have no idea how long you
are reading until you look up and find hours passed. Fallon has spent years
honing her gifts and powers, leading battles and learning to be a leader as
well as a young woman. The final battle is coming and if she doesn’t succeed,
light will be gone, and the dark will rule. My lord, I never loved a character
as much as I did with Fallon and her mother, Lara. Since the first book, Year
One, I rooted for Lara then Fallon to succeed and win the day. The
characters that we meet in Year One and Of Blood and Bone are just amazing and
a few new ones come into play in book three that just left me agape as it
really gives the story some fresh new directions to go into. This is an author
who knows what works for her and her readers. I love how unique,
multidimensional and more the characters are. There is love, friendship and
loss sprinkled throughout the series so be prepared with tissues because I can
attest, I cried more than once while reading THE RISE OF MAGICKS.
This is an author who captivated her readers
from the first page to the last and I, for one, am one of her biggest fans
around. The Chronicles of the One is so different and fresh that I just could
not put all three books down at all. I don’t want to give away anything, so I
am hoping this whet your appetite to know more about the trilogy. If you are looking
for a new series to enjoy this holiday season, then run to grab The Chronicles
of the One series and hunker down because I guarantee it’s going to be a bumpy
ride. You are going to love the many main characters that surround Fallon even
as you hope she kicks some darkness butt with the bad guys. I can’t wait to see
where the author goes next year in her new trilogy. I highly recommend THE
RISE OF MAGICKS and this tied up every loose end with a satisfying epilogue
that left me smiling and full of peace for the characters.
