This is the last installment of The Azantian Trilogy. You can read my previous reviews here:
A heartfelt Thank You to the publisher, City Owl Press, and LibraryThing for this advance copy! I am a happy bunny having to complete this awesome journey of Margrete and Bash!
This is a continuation from where we left off with Margrete becoming a god and ploughing through the Underworld to retrieve Bash's soul. Margrete is coming to terms with her newfound power and still being optimistic to find Bash's soul to reunite with his body which Minthe, Bash's mother, has hidden. She meets Halio, the god of death, who was kind to guide her through the Underworld and meeting the rest of the gods. In her pursue to rescue Bash's soul, she has made a pact with Halio. In order for the pact to succeed, she has to make another pact with Darius, the sea god, who has a hand in killing Bash. Another adventure begins to reunite Bash's soul with his body that involves selfishness, empathy, true love and forgiveness.
It sure was a rollercoaster ride that I find the pace to be inconsistent yet when it reaches the climax, it was well worth enduring it. A lot of details with the usual camaraderie that made this novel wholesome. When I thought it's reaching the end, another twist plot hinders the couple from HEA. It may not be as perfect, but it was good enough.
Even though there were many characters in this trilogy, Katherine has a knack to weave the plots together seamlessly. It was a while back when I last read the second book, but I didn't get lost reading this third one! I do have a short memory span so to not get lost is somewhat surprising! I liked how it ends, expected and yet with a little drama that is so engagingly warm and rosy.
If you are looking for an adventure - romance - fantasy with pirates and sea monsters, this trilogy should fit the bill.
