The Dawn of the End (Rising, #3)

by Kristen Ashley

Once upon a time, in a parallel universe, there existed the continent of Triton. The land was filled with beauty, but it was also splintered by war. Out of the chaos grew a conspiracy to reawaken the Beast, a fearsome creature who wrought only tragedy and devastation. The only way to stop him was to fulfill an ancient prophecy: Triton’s four strongest warriors must wed its four most powerful witches, binding all nations together and finally bringing peace to the land.

This is the story of their unions: the quiet maiden Silence and the savage king Mars. The cold warrior Cassius and the fiery witch Elena. The steadfast soldier True and the banished beauty Farah. And the pirate king Aramus and the mysterious queen Ha-Lah. Their unions will not be easy, but each couple must succeed, for the fate of their world is at stake….

I'd be quite happy if this series went on forever...

The further I've gone on in this series, the more I'm enjoying the way it has been put together. Initially, I struggled with the multiple storylines, characters and narrators but now I wouldn't want it any other way. I love being able to jump from each couple and see how they're handling things and dealing with each new curveball sent their way.

There were definitely issues that had me fuming a time or two, and I can't say I'm particularly happy with Mars at the moment. I don't mind him being a bit bossy, but he went too far. I think Silence forgave him too quickly as well. I needed a little grovelling to make up for his numbskull actions and words.

I still hate the priests. I love getting to "see" the Fantasyland characters again.

I rushed into listening to this one and now I'm kicking myself as I've got ages to wait for the next instalment. Might have to do a re-listen before we get to the last instalment.

Still loving the series and I know I will definitely be re-listening in the future.
