“When Clio conned her way into the Underworld, her job was to steal magic that could protect her homeland. Instead, she escaped with the rebel son of a notorious spell weaver family.
And in the process, she exposed his most calamitous spell, putting her people–and all magic–in peril.
Now she and Lyre face two impossible feats: recover his creation, and do it before his family catches up to them. But when the spell is unleashed with devastating results, caution is no longer an option.
Clio and Lyre’s only chance lies in combining their strength, but to make it out alive, they’ll need magic more dangerous than they’ve ever wielded before. And if they fail, the realms will pay the price.”
This is the third and final book in the Spell Weaver series and I enjoyed it. While I didn’t enjoy this series quite as much as Steel and Stone, it is still a very fun read.
In this volume Clio and Lure finally trackdown the KLOK device that Lyre made and which can destroy all magic and potentially the world. I loved the relationship between Clio and Lyre and really enjoyed some of the magic and action in here as well.
We get to see even more of Ash in this book and more Ash is always something I love! The series ties up nicely and I excited to read the follow up series that is supposed to be set 10 years later.
Overall this was a well done finale to this series, it was a quick and fun read and I enjoyed it. I read this on vacation and it is the perfect type of book to read on vacation; quick, easy, fun and exciting. Annette Marie does a great job writing urban fantasy series that very entertaining and action-packed. I would recommend if you enjoy light urban fantasy with a lot of magic and some romance.
