BOOK SYNOPSIS:After the sickness known as the Doom destroyed civilization, magick has become commonplace, and Fallon Swift has spent her younger years learning its ways. Fallon cannot live in peace until she frees those who have been preyed upon by the government or the fanatical Purity Warriors, endlessly hunted or locked up in laboratories, brutalized for years on end. She is determined to save even those who have been complicit with this evil out of fear or weakness—if, indeed, they can be saved.
Strengthened by the bond she shares with her fellow warrior, Duncan, Fallon has already succeeded in rescuing countless shifters and elves and ordinary humans. Now she must help them heal—and rediscover the light and faith within themselves. For although from the time of her birth, she has been The One, she is still only one. And as she faces down an old nemesis, sets her sights on the enemy’s stronghold, and pursues her destiny—to finally restore the mystical shield that once protected them all—she will need an army behind her…
REVIEW:
The Rise of Magicks is the final installment in Nora Roberts Chronicles of the One trilogy. This was a great ending to a wonderful trilogy. I laughed, I cried (a lot, have tissues) and I cheered. So many good things happen in this book that I can almost forgive Mrs. Roberts for the bad things. I loved this series so much. From the very start of the first book I was hooked. Yes, there were times when the stories where a little slow but Nora was building a beautiful and complex world.
I let the wonderfully talented Julia Whelan read this whole series to me. I loved how she was able to bring the characters to life for me. If you are an audiobook fan and are looking for a great trilogy written by a great author and a fabulous narrator you need to pick up this series.
This whole trilogy may have not come out in 2019 but it was one of my favorite reads/listens for the 2019 year! I hope that we get to see these characters and this world again in the future. I would like to know how they are faring in the new world.
