Healing Wars

review 1: Although this is a familiar story, (a young adolescent living in a unique world discovers she has unique abilities and must risk her life many times to learn more about her abilities and to save those she loves), I liked it. I like opposing qualities of healing that are discussed throughout the trilogy. I like that despite the war theme, it is a pretty clean book for YA to read, no bad language or teenage romance dribble. But still a great read and one that I would feel fine about letting my preteen book lover read. I like the messages of hope, love, and never giving up.
review 2: What a fitting ending to this trilogy. I have to admit this is one of the most fun series I have read in a while. I really enjoy the world Hardy has created. It is so rich and detaile... mored and interesting. I am really intrigued the concept of shifting or taking pain from others. I find it fascinating that it can be weaponized. Nya is such a strong, fearless young woman it is hard not to root for her. Darkfall takes place after the events of The Shifter and Blue Fire. Nya and the rest are hiding out from the Duke. The must go back to Geveg and save their home before the Duke destroys everything in his way to total power. This is a book about war and what happens in a war. People die, people choose sides and people rise to the occasion as heroes. I am glad Hardy represented a war realistically; not everyone is going to survive, some may be hurt beyond help and sometimes you have to do terrible things to survive and defeat the enemy. Nya learns all of these lessons in this book, but despite everything there is hope at the end. Things end on a positive note. I love how strong and confident Nya becomes at the end of this series. She is the hero of the rebellion and she owns it. She reclaims her place in the world and makes no excuses. Definitely a series I would recommend. less
