For two thousand years the Arameri family has ruled the world by enslaving the very gods that created mortalkind. Now the gods are free, and the Arameri's ruthless grip is slipping. Yet they are all that stands between peace and world-spanning, unending war.
Shahar, last scion of the family, must choose her loyalties. She yearns to trust Sieh, the godling she loves. Yet her duty as Arameri heir is to uphold the family's interests, even if that means using and destroying everyone she cares for.
As long-suppressed rage and terrible new magics consume the world, the Maelstrom -- which even gods fear -- is summoned forth. Shahar and Sieh: mortal and god, lovers and enemies. Can they stand together against the chaos that threatens?
My thoughts:
I really should write a review the minute I finish the book, even if I am just a day late I feel all meh. Anyway...
This is the last book in this trilogy and it's about Sieh, the kid, the trickster, the lonely one. He is, yes how to describe him? Like I said, a trickster. He can play one minute, rip people to pieces the next if they anger him. Godlings do what they want.
Then he meats Sharar and Deka. Siblings, one heir to the world. I can't say more here cos the consequences echoes through out the whole book, they are the whole book. They are two proud kids cos they are after all Arameri. But they can also be loving, jealous and I will say no more.
There is also a shadow player in this book. A story I liked as everything looked so dark.
The book was better than the last, but then the last disappointed me to no end. But it still was not as good as the first, but then the first blew me away with it's language. This one instead is a joy to read because of a good story, complex characters and a world that is old and well done, and a world that needs to change.
Conclusion:
So I would say, good ending to this series. And yes the end, I really liked the end.

You did amazing on the Take Control challenge!! Glad the ending of your series was good.
ReplyDeleteI know :D I am so glad I participated
DeleteAwesome job with the TBR challenge!
ReplyDeleteThanks :D
Deleteit's nice when the last book is good, it's always difficult sometimes. Thanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteEspecially since book 2 sucked!
Delete:)
ReplyDelete;)
DeleteAye...thats why I always try and do my review within the first 48 hours after finishing a book. If not I forgot 99% of what I want to say or I just lack the motivation to write the review. >.<
ReplyDeleteTotally, the motivation just dies within me if I do not do it. And all the feelings I had are just gone
DeleteGreat job on the challenge! Glad this series ended well also. Hate it when the end sucks.
ReplyDeleteI do have a few books where the ending was so bad that it ruined the whole series for me
DeleteI read the first book in this series and it was too high fantasy for me. Still, I'm glad I gave it a try.
ReplyDeleteI really liked book 1, her voice was so beautiful. That did go away later
DeleteThat's exactly why I sit down almost immediately and write my reviews! Otherwise I completely lose whatever emotion I had while reading and I'm already moving on to the next one in my mind:) Glad this one was at least better than book 2!
ReplyDeleteI am glad I am not alone :D I do not get some that write them weeks later, sure they got notes perhaps, but for me that would not work. My mindset would be all wrong
DeleteCongrats on your success in the TBR Challenge! :)
ReplyDeleteWow you kicked butt on the challenge! Seriously jealous. I only did 4 books. :-( But I really only did the read a thon weekend, so I guess I won't feel too bad. Glad this series ended well for you, though it sounds like I'd enjoy the first book the most. I do love trickster gods though (you gotta love Loki types).
ReplyDeleteI know, yay, but I felt I had to. Since I am moving in a month and I just can't take every book with me.
DeleteBook 1 was epic and beautiful. The prose moved me,
You really did do well on the challenge! YaY you!
ReplyDeleteMight have to read that first one and maybe read the next two. :) Then again, you did like the ending... hm... Still, sounds like a decent series over all.
Yay me :D
DeleteBook 1 was epic, book 2 boring and this one was good :D
The ending was... *evil laugh*
I tried reading all my March arcs in Feb ;) So did I do well in the end..well, who knows ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, I read the first book and enjoyed it. I have the second here and need to get the third, but I want to finish the series off. :) Thank you.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you will like the 2nd, it just fell flat for me, oh and the fact that the "hero" was the guy who imprisoned them all
DeleteI hear you about writing a quick review right after finishing a book! I need to do that big time!!
ReplyDeleteThe best thing to do, always
DeleteI really need to write reviews right away too. This sounds good. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks :) You too
DeleteWell at least it was better than the last and ended somewhat strong. Excellent beginning with a strong ending in series is always important. There is always that one in the series that leaves you shaking your head!
ReplyDeleteThe worst with those is that I give up and do not read more
DeleteThe language of book one blew you away huh...makes me wonder if it was vulgar or just incredibly well done???
ReplyDeleteThe cover looks nice, though I don't think this series will end up in my TBR list.
Vulgar, what no! That would never blow me away. It was poetic and beautiful
DeleteSo a good blown away. Nice to know :)
DeleteYup :D
Deletewhoa, is this what you read from your tbr in one month??? that is a lot!
ReplyDeleteHehe, well I was on holiday for a few days int he beginning and went insane ;)
