Bright Blaze of Magic by Jennifer Estep
In
general the book is a good ending to the trilogy and wrapped up things in a way
which had the right amount of closure and wanting for another book.
Firstly
there was a ton of action in the book which isn’t surprising but given the
events in the book it was well written and better than the other books. Also
the book was way more violent than expected especially in comparison to the
previous books. Which isn’t a bad thing, at first it’s surprising because the
book is written in a softer tone than what’s in the content but then you get
used to it and it’s a good mix.
From
the previous book there is a lot of focus on the black blades and I expected this
to carry on because of Victor’s plan however I’m thankful they got that part of
the story over with quickly because I didn’t want the main plot or fight scene
to be about Victor using the black blades.
I
liked the little Loch Ness Monster link and its importance in the book.
The romance
in the book is cute for both couples and there weren’t any arguments which caused
a break up to be a plotline.
One
annoying thing in the book and the rest of the trilogy is the fact whenever she
mentions appearances of characters etc Felix she always comments on his good
looks and then compares them to Devon…it gets annoying after a while.
Also
the book did follow stereotypes etc the bad guy aka Victor unleashing his
ultimate power and his origin story linked to Lila by her mum, Serena. Also the outcome of the book was predictable.
