The Age of the End by Tim Facciola REVIEW

Summary:

The flood of blood drowns New Rheynia, but the Age of the End is only just beginning. Though the traitor God within Valencia has been exposed, and Zephyrus and Threyna wield the artifacts of long dead deities, the way to the divine realm is blocked. The Harbinger has ascended to slaughter the Gods and leave the mortal in ruins. But Zephyrus, Laeden, Vykinallia, Iylea, and Threna have even more pressing concerns.

The Skeleton King has come to New Rheynia's shores. Empowered by cursed magic, he and his legions will stop at nothing to consume every soul in the mortal realm in service to the One True God. Regardless if they're Valencian or Celestic, Rheynians or Helms, free or enslaved - everyone must join together if they hope to outlast the apocalypse. Even the worst of enemies.

Bonds of friendship and love will be tested.

Chains of guilt and disdain will come undone. One way or another, the scales will be set right, and nothing will be the same again.

My Thoughts:

I'm really sad to see this story go. This is probably the best trilogy I've read in a long time.

I have to say that my favorite parts in this book happen to be Danella's character development. She really changes as a person to become someone better, even unrecognizable from the person she was in the first book. And it's believable, even though it technically happens in a short amount of time. Danella realizes that she's on the wrong side, and not only switches sides, but gives her all in helping the characters.

Fenyx probably is my second favorite in this installment. His parts were really interesting, and his development was great to see.

Threyna and Vykinallia become reluctant friends, as Threyna has to help train her to use her new abilities. Laeden grows as a person even more somehow.

Zephyrus was also a great part of this book (he's the main character, so he has to be, but still). He definitely grows even more as a fighter. We also get to see him meet his mom.

Overall, I loved reading this, and I was melancholy when I finished it. I don't think there can be another trilogy as amazing as this one.

My Rating: 5 stars
