DeSpain, Bree The Eternity Key, 368 p. Egmont, MAY 2015.
$19. Content: G (2 swears, 0 ‘f’).
Daphne may have thwarted her destiny as a tithe for her
father’s fame and avoided a life in the Underrealm, but things are by no means
settled. Daphne and her friends still need to find the Compass, which
will lead her to the Key, which she can hopefully use to open Persephone’s Gate
and stop the Underlord’s plan to unleash the Keres on the mortal world.
Throw in a group of Skylords with their own agenda and Daphne’s inability
to open her heart to Haden and a few more problems and the waters become very
murky indeed.
I loved book #1 so much that I felt guilty that I was so
grateful when I reached the end of this book. The plot has become pretty
cluttered with characters and feels more like a vehicle to book three than a
fulfilling novel in its own right. I did, however, enjoy Garrick’s plot
twist at the end. No more spoilers from me, however. Would
publishers and author’s please rethink their devotion to the trilogy as a plot
vehicle? I have enjoyed DeSpain’s writing in the past; I am holding out
hope for book 3 to redeem the series.
