The ending of this book was also the ending of this series, and I wasn't entirely happy with it. Again, it was not in-your-face, but more open to interpretation, which I always appreciate. I realized that Noll's discovery could double as an allegory. I love when a book forces you to consider or analyse without making the prompt too overt or trying to be too much like a textbook. When Noll uncovers the answers to the secrets that surround her village, it made me think. This entire series has been very original, so it's not surprising that Amy McNulty continues to impress. I thought that the revelation Noll discovers was very original. I think that because this shift in power was so sudden, and the book became about something else entirely, it just felt a bit disconnected from the first two novels.Īlthough I did feel as though the third book was set apart from the first two a bit more, that's not to say that I didn't enjoy it. Obviously there were clues, but the reader thinks that these clues mean something else entirely. I couldn't read any hints earlier in the series pertaining to this game-changer. Although the discovery made sense in the world of the book, and worked with the storyline, I felt that it almost came out of nowhere. This is largely because Noll makes a huge discovery that completely changes the way she regards her world. This book felt very different from the first two in the series. But she must fight to gain some control over her life, before she loses it entirely. It makes dealing with her life a lot more difficult, especially when Noll is taken away from her village, and discovers that her life has never been entirely under her control.
Now Noll doesn't know who her friends are anymore, and who is out to hurt her. But now, with the lord's rebirth, he's different - he doesn't remember the time he and Noll spent together all he remembers is that Noll cursed him, long ago.
*I received this book for free from Amy McNulty in exchange for an honest review*Įver since the curse on the men in Noll's village was broken, disaster and destruction ran rampant, resulting in the death of the lord, the one man whom Noll was able to trust, and even love.
