Expected Fall 2012
After defeating the Malborn and losing the person she loved most, Lianne escapes to Chase’s homeland. With her appearance forever marked by death, Lianne feels like a monster both on the outside and the inside. She retreats into herself, fearful of what she’s become.But she can’t hide forever.
The Malborn, damaged but not broken, send a deadly message to Lianne. They are coming for her and now she’s brought danger to a peaceful land that believed they’d driven the Malborn from their shores forever. Lianne must force herself to trust again and make the ultimate sacrifice to save everyone she loves. In a world ruled by whoever harnesses the most powerful magic, no one can be trusted – no one is safe.
Lori’s Review:
This is the final book in the Swarm Trilogy. I definitely
enjoyed the first two books but this installment was by far my favorite of the
three. The depth of the characters and storyline was really touching. I felt
instantly more connected to them throughout this book. Actually I was flying
through it so fast that I was surprised to see myself at 100%.
I have to admit I was and am a total Chase fangirl. I loved
him from the moment he stepped on the page. Don’t get me wrong I like Bryden
but he didn’t feel like a full fit with Lianne.
The world building is really beautiful and is definitely
Jensen’s strongest writing. Her characters have grown and matured throughout
the series. I think Lianne is great. If I have one big complaint it would be
the total lack action within this installment. There were plenty of tense
moments but it never actually came to a head. I can see the plus of having a
peaceful out come without the war being waged. Don’t take that to mean there
are no deaths in this book. There are still plenty.
I enjoyed this series so much I am going to go back and read
the other three books that make up the whole of this series.
Thank you Ms. Jensen for providing me review copies of the
book. They rocked and I had a blast reading them.
