Noble Dead Saga: Series 3

review 1: The twelfth book in the third series involving Magiere, Leesil, Wynn, and their companions. Yet the series shows no signs of fatigue. The series has an exciting external and internal conflicts. The characters continue to intrigue and grow. The book alternates between two story lines. Magiere and Leesil with their companions head south, seeking an orb. Wynn intends to research the possible location of the orb of wind. But instead her prelim sends her on a mission to discover the odd request of a sage in another kingdom. In this book, this storyline dominates. Wynn is reunited with her close companion, the elf Osha. But both have changed greatly during their separation. To add to the tension, Osha and the vampire, Chane, detest each other. But their odd group must be united... more because an old enemy has gain possession of the very orb their seek. In the meanwhile, Magiere, Leesil and their companions find themselves at the mercy of cruel sea captain.
review 2: Readers of this book are in for a treat when some of the characters learn that, sometimes, what you seek is right under your nose. We have seen the search for orbs take Magiere, Leesil, Wynn, and Chap into the mountains of their homeland, a long forgotten dwarven city, and frigid waste lands. In this book, the search for the ever elusive orbs leads Wynn and her companions to discover secrets relating to the orb in a place they never would have expected. As far as Magiere, Leesil, and Chap, there are obstacles taking form that might very well threaten the future of their hunt for the orb, and the only one in a position to help remove that obstacle is the one they trust the least - Brotan.This twist in the story surrounding the orbs is one I quite enjoyed. I will caution: there are a lot of points of view in this story, so be ready to hear the thoughts and see things from the perspective of a lot of characters. If you are someone who dislikes alternating perspectives, brace yourself. In the end, your opinion of this facet as well as the overall story will rely heavily upon your attachment to each of the characters and their reaction to events as they unfold. I will confess, there were some characters I loved hearing from, and some I could have done without. But, that is to be expected in a book with so many characters. Being a fan of Wynn, Chane, and Shade from the second series, I found their return - they were not in the previous installment - refreshing.Overall, if you have followed this series - as I assume you have since this is book 12 and not reading any previous installments would leave you utterly clueless at this point- you do not want to miss this one. You will see the return of certain elements involving the noble dead that have not been mentioned since the first series. Magic, for lack of a better word, also makes a stronger return and is quite complex in this world. less
