Knights Magica by B.R. KingsolverMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
So Sad To Say Goodbye to Erin and Rosie O’Grady’s
I’m sorry to say that this is the last book in a really wonderful series. B R Kingsolver is an incredibly talented author and the characters are always second to none. I dove into this book with unmitigated joy and was smiling as I turned the last page, until I remembered it was over and felt a twinge of sadness. The good things about books however, is that they can be re-read. Something tells me this series is one that will be re-read over and over again.
In this book we see Erin trying to recover from the imprisonment and torture by the Knights Magica for a month. She has scars that may never heal and she is wasted away. She’s even scared to see Oriel, her half-fae lover, because of the trauma she underwent.
Fighting her way back to strength, both mental and physical takes it’s time and whilst that is going on the Knights Magica start to unveil their plan by quickly installing their people all over the world. They try to reveal the Shadowed World to humans, in order to stage a magical coup on a world wide scale.
I really enjoyed seeing Erin start to understand that she was valued for herself rather than just her skills by her friends, and that she has more friends than she understands. She is also widely respected in Westport and increasingly relied on, for not only her skills and knowledge but for the way that she views the world and is able to draw interesting conclusions before most people.
Erin is put through the wringer in this book, but she has support like she has never experienced before. She is part of a team and is learning to train others and perform in a leadership role, though she still feels happier taking orders.
I also liked seeing her relationship with Oriel develop, despite all their ups and downs, though she does have to be understanding of his fae nature more often than not.
This book is filled with action and adventure, with politics and military action going hand in hand. It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole way through and I was sad to say goodbye to all the characters and the wonderful world of Westport. Sad though I am to say goodbye, at least Erin will be waiting next time I want to visit!
