zoemig 's review for:
Forest of Ruin
by Kelley Armstrong
Forest of Ruin by Kelley Armstrong is another book I had been reading for far too long and was excited to finish up this month--seriously, finally making a really good dent in my unfinished book stack. This is the final book in a trilogy, so I won't say much to avoid spoilers, but I've got reviews of the first book, Sea of Shadows, and the second book, Empire of Night, already posted.
This young adult fantasy trilogy is told from the perspective of twins, each with an important role in the empire to help keep people safe. Unfortunately, there's been a lot of danger going around and in Forest of Ruin it is finally time for the last battle. Armstrong's writing is always really easy to read, and even though I don't often reach for fantasy novels I really enjoyed this series, it's just a little less intense at moments than her novels normally are, probably because of all the world-building required. Still, especially the last quarter of this book I just devoured. In terms of how things ended, while it wasn't exactly how I wanted, it was certainly still satisfying.
I definitely recommend the Age of Legends series if you are looking looking for a young adult fantasy novels with all kinds of creatures, a whole cast of great characters and in particular, two really tough--but different--twin heroines.
