I was so excited when this came up for review because it features my very favorite couple. You can see the reviews for the first and second books here.
Ms. Walker’s skill is making the history of this time period come to life is even more evident in this volume. I truly felt like I was immersed in the history and the spiritual practices.
It was also great to see repeat appearances from the characters from the previous books. Never fear, though, the book can still be read as a standalone.
I truly enjoyed this finale to the trilogy…. it’s the best of them all! Thank you for sharing this world with us.
