THE RISE OF MAGICKS
by Nora Roberts
This third and final installment in the CHRONICLES OF THE
ONE gives a satisfying and fully anticipated conclusion to the series. Roberts
is a good writer who has command of her characters and story line. While the conclusion
is apparent from the first pages of the series, that does not take away from
the tension and dread of the survivors of THE DOOM who are establishing a new,
kinder, gentler world – after 20 years of killing and war, of course. And, yes,
beloved characters succumb to the evil of the Dark Uncanny and the Purity Warriors.
If you started this series, you must finish it. If you haven’t
started it, do begin at the beginning. These are not stand alones and while you
may enjoy the books if you read them independently, you will find yourself
wondering what everyone else knows that you do not and being slightly befuddles
by some of the references and the meanings of various actions. Do yourself a favor, read them in order.
5 of 5 stars
