review 1: Silvermay, Tamlyn and Lucien have travelled to Erebis Felan in the hope of removing the Wyrdborn powers from Lucien and Tamlyn. Lucien has grown at a ferocious rate and appears as a four year old even though he was born only six months ago. With the prophecies showing that whoever controls Lucien will control the world, war and death seem inevitable. Silvermay struggles to bring Lucien up in a loving family but with everyone trying to control his fate, his future seems to be laid out in stone.I really enjoyed the first book in this series, the second less so and this one was so crap I barely finished it. Harsh? Perhaps so but I found the story trite, the characters two dimensional and outcomes happened without any repercussions from the fall out. It just felt like the auth... moreor wanted to finish up this series ASAP and had forgotten what started him on this journey in the first place. A generous two stars.
review 2: Lucien, the final book in the trilogy, can be described in two words: Unforgettable and Unexpected. Moloney has created a stunning world of unforgettable characters,and memorable quotes. The events that take place, however, are unexpected. As a reader, we assume that Coyle, who was the antagonist in Books 1 and 2, will also be the lead antagonist in the final book. He isn't. Rather, his fate takes a sudden twist and readers will be left surprised. Additionally, unexpected things happen to Ryall, and the final battle occurs in a place unexpected. Written stylishly, this book carriers not only a great story line, but also a moral that can be found in the words of Silvermay and Tamlyn. Overall, this trilogy has kept me company over the last three years, and now, I am a bit sad it is over. I still remember back in 2011, when Silvermay (Book 1) was first published. I remember reading it, loving it, and couldn't wait another year for Tamlyn (Book 2). Well, with blink of an eye, all three books are now published, have been read. Now, I feel a bit empty. I want more. Wouldn't it be good if Moloney wrote another series, set in the same word, but 15 or so years later, when Silvermay's baby girl is all grown up? I wonder if that would ever happen. Fingers cross it will : ) less
