Throne of Embers by Marie RobinsonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Burn It All Down
I’d probably give this 3.5 ⭐️ if I could.
After being attacked on the way to the airport, Ella and Romulus manage to escape by the skin of their teeth and end up on their own on the flight to Ireland. Together they travel to Tir na nOg, where Ella needs to go to try and learn control of her powers. If she can’t learn to control them, then she’ll die and possibly take the world with her.
This final book in the trilogy is a bit of a mixed bag for me. I understand that the author didn’t schedule this series but it simply forced it’s way into being written by the determination of it’s characters. This is probably why I felt like that the last book tried to fit too much in to too short a time. A lot happened in this final book and it felt like in a few places things weren’t explained as well as they could have been because of it.
I also felt like the characters weren’t given enough room to breathe because it was so plot focused. This is fine for people who prefer plot driven books, but I really like character’s to be the main focus in the books I read.
The ending felt a little abrupt too. I was left feeling a little let down, and I think that is colouring my review. On the whole I really powered through this book, I read it greedily and quickly because I wanted to know what happened next, and then it was over before I expected it to be. The book is definitely worth reading to finish off the trilogy and I’d be interested in reading more from this author when she has more room to manoeuvre in her scheduling.
