My Ratings 4.5/5
Synopsis
Blindness isn't the only thing that keeps you from seeing.
Elior and his friends have been through a lot together. They journeyed through trials with Michael to reach the Well of Eternity and drink from it. They gained new powers and went through the Mirror of Eternity to the other side of the world to rescue Elior’s brother from a dragon and restored light to Nox Terra in the process. Now they’ve returned to Lux Terra, but the adventure is far from over.
When an ominous warning finds them in Gabrielle’s beach house, they have no choice but to join Michael’s followers in the underground, Eternity’s Refuge. They are welcomed with open arms and the promise of a place to belong away from a world gone mad. But when they find out that Taariq’s right hand man, Iblis, has infiltrated Eternity’s Refuge in every major city, they have to find a way to protect their new friends and their new home from the inside.
Now they must determine who their friends are and who their enemies are, and almost nothing is as it seems. Will Taariq and his minions be successful in bringing Eternity’s Refuge down from the inside? Or will Elior, Opal, Nyx, and Nereza be able to stop him and bring even more people to the cause?
Eternity’s Refuge is the thrilling continuation of the Eternal Chronicles series following Eternity’s Mirror. The magic leaping off the page and deepening the mystery will hook you from cover to cover and leave you breathless.
My Thoughts
I admit it. I wasn't expecting much from this book.
Eternity's Refuge (Eternal Chronicles) by Zachary Hagen is exactly the type of story I want to read. A fantasy world that causes you to look on reality with fresh eyes. Like our world, the world Eternal Chronicles inhabits is brutal and full of realistic fantasy. People are evil and self-interested. But here and there little cracks of the Good, the True, and the Beautiful appear and begin to grow.
The characters are relatable. The conflict is genuinely irritating! The story taps into that desire to see the broken and hopeless rise out of the ashes. I even cried a little at one point...but don't tell anyone.
So...what are you waiting for. Go read it!
Well written solid prose and a good ending as the story was wrapped up but
there is a "tease" of more to come.
It was interesting to see fantasy mixed with slight parts of reality and added in with sprinkles of grim dark and fantasy
Highly Recommended!
