This is book three in the series Born Prophecy.

The first chapter was Thorn in his spirit form floating about the ship and talking to and about the people there. It was a neat way of pulling together the main players and plot of the story and to refresh the reader’s memory.

This book sees Allegria, Hallow, and Deo working hard to banish Nezu to protect all the lands from him. The chapters focused on different characters again, with Allegria’s chapters written in the first-person. The style of writing was more of what you would expect from a Katie MacAlister novel. It was filled with humerous dialogue, and silly situations. Characters frequently went off on a tangent, and it was quite amusing. You’d think it would be annoying, but for some reason the author makes it work.

I loved Idril, she was so unflappable. Allegria and Hallow were a lot more tolerable, and I also liked Deo. Still not liking Lord Israel or Queen Dasa though. I have to say Deo doesn’t listen to advice very well. But I might tune out my parents as well if they spoke to me so condescendingly. The final battle against Nezu was pretty intense.

All-in-all, I enjoyed this book a lot more than the previous ones. It has a satisfactory ending, but it seems like there might be more to come? I hope so.

Thank you to Kensington Books and Netgalley for providing me with an ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Was I hooked by this book? Yes, but not completely.
