Overview:
Steel & Stone: Book 3
After surviving a round-trip to hell, Piper figures she can survive anything. After all, she just lived through the devastating loss of her Consul apprenticeship and a torturous stint at boarding school. How much worse could it get?
Well, she wasn’t expecting a group of crazy radicals to burn her home to the ground and take her prisoner.
The Gaians, a.k.a. the crazy radicals, plan to rid Earth of daemons and they need Piper’s help. In exchange for her cooperation, they promise her the answer to all her problems: magic. With her own magic, she could reclaim her apprenticeship, the only future she’s ever wanted. But her magic comes at price — it could kill her.
With the only life she’s ever known crumbling around her and her future slipping from her grasp, she needs Ash’s help one more time. But the greatest danger of all lies within her, and no matter what she does, she may lose everything — including him.
My Review:
3.5 Stars
This series is definitely on my popcorn young adult book shelf. I definitely enjoy reading it although I am always thrown off by the abrupt endings which leave me feeling like I was somehow jipped.
The base story line is a pretty interesting idea and not your usual spin on otherworldly characters and plots.
I have a love hate relationship with the characters. I love their interactions with each other. They play off of each other beautifully, fiercely portraying the loyalty, love and sarcasm only true human relationships have. What I can't stand is the way the characters get in their own way. It's exasperating!
All in all, it's still a good series and a fun, fast paced read.
