Synopsis
When
word that Yelena is a soulfinder – able to capture and release souls - spreads
like wildfire, people grow uneasy. Already Yelena’s unusual abilities and past
have set her apart. As the Council debates Yelena’s fate, she receives a
disturbing message: a plot is rising against her homeland, led by a murderous
sorcerer she has defeated before...
Honour
sits Yelena on a path that will test the limits of her skills, and the hope of
reuniting with her beloved spurs her onward. Her journey is fraught with allies,
enemies, lovers and would – be assassins, each of questionable loyalty.
Yelena
will have but one chance to prove herself – and save the land she holds dear.
Thoughts
It’s always a little sad when you are holding the last book of a
series or trilogy in your hands. But the last book, though it wasn’t quite a
cliff hanger, you weren’t hanging on to what was going to come next. You really
needed to know. Need the book.
Though, it’s a little odd me saying that when this was the, like,
100th time I’ve read this book, but still, it’s been awhile and just
like the first time, I got hooked into the trilogy.
This book starts off in the school. And quickly turns out into a
man hunt for Yelena. Who then has to find a way to get back into the school and
save everyone.
It’s got a lot of loss, betrayal, love and pain, both physically
and mentally.
I loved this book, I’m not sure if it’s my fav, but it’s a great
end to the series. Keeping them all the same while letting them grow, it might
have taken her longer but she finally understood.
It’s hard to go any more into the story without giving away this
book, and the whole trilogy with it. But it’s one of the greater books that I
have read.
Though again, don’t go into this thinking you’ll get fantasy, I’ve
read some of them, I’m not a fan, they are so full of world building that it’s
almost to difficult to want to keep up (but then I’m lazy), it’s not completely
a romance—so light fantasy.
Anyway, I’m a fan, and it’s a series to push. So pick it up and
give it a go.
