Book three of the Falling Kingdoms series doesn't disappoint! The thing I like the best about the series is the unexpected deaths. I'm constantly surprised by who Rhodes is willing to kill and there are a couple in this book that I just didn't see coming. Don't want to give any spoilers away, but I did predict the relationship change between Cleo and Magnus. I still feel like its is a middle grade Game of Thrones. Fantasy lovers will enjoy this series for sure. Add it to tbi (to buy immediately) list and get reading!

If you've been reading the Throne of Glass series, then you're probably hooked and don't need this review. Heir of Fire is the third in the series if you don't count the prequel, The Assassin's Blade.

When book three begins, Celaena is in Wendlyn looking for a way to get to Doranelle to see Maeve and get some answers. She is captured and then accompanied by Rowan, a delicious Fae character who has sworn a blood oath to Maeve. The book then jumps to Chaol and Crown Prince Dorian in Adarlan where there are some interesting developments and the arrival of some new and important characters, and then a chapter later jumps to an Ironwitch named Manon Blackbeak, heir to the Blackbeak WitchClan. It is the chapters describing the meeting and competition of the witch clans, Blackbeak, Blueblood and Yellowlegs where they select and train their wyverns that I found most engaging. The book then alternately advances the plot for each of the three settings.

Since this is not a trilogy, all is not nicely tied up at the end. I can tell you, without revealing too too much, that skillfully woven into book three is a nice surprise pulled on a powerful opponent, a heartbreaking death, and a dire enslavement that left me shaking my head and screaming "Noooooo!" My only wish is that the next book in the series was available right now.

Don't Let Go is the final book in a trilogy which started with Don't Look Now and continued with Don't Turn Around. The series, if you don't know it, is well suited to the rebellious hacker generation and features a tough girl named Noa who once she figures out that someone is kidnapping street kids and experimenting on them, is determined to put a stop to it.      In the final instalment, Noa, Peter, Teo and Daisy are doing their best to evade the corporation's men who are determined to apprehend them. At the same time the teens are trying to decode the stolen hard drives and crack the code behind project Persephone. Noa's health is not improving, the men seem to be able to find the teens regardless of where they hide, and Noa and Peter are having a great deal of difficulty finding a facility with the computing power that they need. I don't say this often, but the ending is both gripping and satisfying.
