My Rating for Rise of Magicks: 5 Stars and a Series Recommended Read

the world and magick rose back to prominence, young Fallon Swift has learned
its ways and honed her skills to battle the dark. Fallon has rescued countless
people who have been preyed upon by government, raiders and others. Now as she

need each and every one of her friends and family as she forges new allies and
alliances to face an old foe, defeat the dark once and for all and for this,

can Fallon find the strength to finish it and restore the balance by restoring
the magical shield that once protected the world from the darkness or will she
fall as darkness spreads? Get ready, the end is coming and it’s one you won’t
want to miss out on.
WOW is all I can say as I
read the final book in the Chronicles of the One trilogy and am just blown away
at how the author, Nora Roberts, tied up all the loose threads and formed a
story that just blows you away. With action & adventure, romance, mystery
and more, Ms. Roberts delivers a spellbinding story that just left me staring
into nothing once I finished it. It was that damn good. If you haven’t read
this trilogy before, I caution you to start with book one, Year One and go from
there. The second and final books continue the story line and you will be lost
a little as past events are mentioned a few times from the past two books in book
three. THE RISE OF MAGICKS is one hell of a finish and one I devoured within
a day. It kept my attention and left me smiling, crying and more. I am in awe
over Ms. Roberts foray into the dystopian/postapocalyptic genre and she
literally made it her own in these three books. Such a different thing from her
to her readers but one she did amazingly well. I was just blown away with all
three books.
THE RISE OF
MAGICKS gives us a few years after
Of Blood and Bone ended and the final battle is looming between Fallon
and the light and the darkness that cover the world. With nonstop action,
characters that just blow you away old and new, a story that just flows so
smoothly, you have no idea how long you are reading until you look up and find
hours passed. Fallon has spent years honing her gifts and powers, leading
battles and learning to be a leader as well as a young woman. The final battle
is coming and if she doesn’t succeed, light will be gone, and the dark will rule.
My lord, I never loved a character as much as I did with Fallon and her mother,
Lara. Since the first book, Year One, I rooted for Lara then Fallon to
succeed and win the day. The characters that we meet in Year One and Of Blood
and Bone are just amazing and a few new ones come into play in book three that
just left me agape as it really gives the story some fresh new directions to go
into. This is an author who knows what works for her and her readers. I love
how unique, multidimensional and more the characters are. There is love,
friendship and loss sprinkled throughout the series so be prepared with tissues
because I can attest, I cried more than once while reading THE RISE OF
MAGICKS.
This is an author who captivated
her readers from the first page to the last and I, for one, am one of her
biggest fans around. The Chronicles of the One is so different and fresh that I
just could not put all three books down at all. I don’t want to give away anything,
so I am hoping this whet your appetite to know more about the trilogy. If you
are looking for a new series to enjoy this holiday season, then run to grab The
Chronicles of the One series and hunker down because I guarantee it’s going to
be a bumpy ride. You are going to love the many main characters that surround
Fallon even as you hope she kicks some darkness butt with the bad guys. I can’t
wait to see where the author goes next year in her new trilogy. I highly
recommend THE RISE OF MAGICKS and this tied up every loose end with a
satisfying epilogue that left me smiling and full of peace for the characters.
